    Flammable storage in garage/furnace question

    While I could swap with the tool box, that would put my tools farther from the workbench. The problem is the rest of the garage has a 2" lip from the foundation so I'd have to block it up to get it against the wall.

    Flammable storage in garage/furnace question

    Just moved to new house and I'm getting my garage set up. after filling up this cabinet I had a second thought about it being near the furnace. I checked the furnace over and see no warnings about storing flammables near it. Should this concern me? I could move it to the other side of the garage...

    If you buy from harbor freight tools and have your receipts....

    Right. What I'm saying is their computers, the ones that are down right now because the fires took out the servers, hold the info on what value the gift cards have.

    If you buy from harbor freight tools and have your receipts....

    Just called, still no gift card sales. It would be really easy for them to just "lose" all the info on the gift cards at this point.

    If you buy from harbor freight tools and have your receipts....

    Same thing happened to me today in Washington. Spent 45 minutes filling my cart only to be told they couldn't accept gift cards because the system was down. I was wondering why they weren't announcing that overhead every few minutes..

    I was expecting around $300 in gift cards if I remember right, I got $475. Showed up Tuesday in the plain white envelope via USPS. Already started making a shopping list!

    Woodworking 101--Tools and Tips

    Good job so far Jim! I'm loving reading along with your work, thank you for taking the time to post. You motivated me to clean up this plane I had rusting on a shelf. I picked it up for $5 a while back. Just needed a bit of cleaning and repainted the handles. If you have a moment, a few tips on...

    Woodworking 101--Tools and Tips

    I watched this video upon the recommendation of many searched posts. Alex Snodgrass is supposed to be the Bandsaw Guru. I think he does an excellent job explaining the setup. I can cut a perfect straight line with the miter gauge with no blade drift. I'm running a Timberwolf 1/2" 3tpi "low...

    HF dust collector

    Not the same at all. General is a pretty well respected brand of wood working tools. It also has a 2 micron bag instead of the HF 5 micron. The impeller looks pretty substantial too. http://www.homedepot.com/p/General-International-1-5-HP-Dust-Collector-10-105-M1/205414480

    I restored this 1970 14" Delta, it's become one of the most used tool in my shop. I might get a riser for it someday. Only con would be that it's not bigger!

    I highly recommend this knife sharpener

    I got the Ken Onion model for christmas, I love it. Easy to use and puts a mirror polished edge on everything. For the lefty's, it does have a trigger lock so you can still use it.

    Looking for Used Stihl Chainsaw - Which One? 08, 038, 041, 044?

    You have to remember, when people are telling you a max bar length for a saw they aren't taking into consideration what you'll be cutting. Here on the west coast we have soft wood. A 360 is sold here with a 28" bar. On the east coast it gets a 18" bar, -they are cutting harder wood. The saws...

    Generic/ eBay Dewalt 18v Batteries....??

    I upgraded my 18v nicads to the 18v lithiums. Much better! It's just odd that when they get low they just stop rather than getting weaker.

    Woodworking 101--Tools and Tips

    Really nice! I like seeing other peoples work, it inspires me to try new things. I did read that about signing your work. I wanted to, but I knew a pen or marker would smear with the oil. I tried a pencil, but it too smeared right off when I started applying the oil. I'd like to make or buy a...
