    Wood hole saw kit

    Looking for a wood hole saw kit. I've looked around online and it just doesn't seem like there are any out there besides the cheap HF type kits. I bought the HF one to give it a try, but it's junk. I know there are the bi-metal kits but those get really pricey because i need the larger sizes...

    Browsing for some possible laminate for workbench top, found this and a couple others. For 50c a foot, can't go wrong. Picked up another pack of the tie down straps that was sitting on back shelf in clearance. My Shop: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=348643

    Miter saw depth on workbench

    Well I sold my dewalt today. After all the great input, i decided to go with the makita. Part of me wants to Amazon prime it, its like 30 bucks cheaper and will be here way quicker then HD shipping; if I ship to store/ home from HD easy returns and customer service. That festool is sure nice...

    Work Bench Build

    Good advice, I will sit back and evaluate what the rest of my space will look like. I'm thinking this will be the only spot I put it. My Shop: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=348643

    Work Bench Build

    Well I took a look at the 1x3 cedar I have. Sadly it's rough cut and random sizes, varies from 3/4 to 1" thick and 2.5-3.25" wide. I will end up just using it for my fence. Will probably head to HD tomorrow and grab some 2x4s to rip. My Shop...

    Work Bench Build

    Making some more progress. Thought about skipping pegboard under the cabinets but decided adding some extra support for them would be a good bonus since the pegboard would need a spacer anyway. Need to drill some holes in the cabinet on the right side to run my Ethernet and power cables so my...

    Miter saw depth on workbench

    If I could buy a new one, that looks like it could be a good option. Think I'm narrowing it down to the Bosch and hitachi saws. My Shop: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=348643

    Miter saw depth on workbench

    There is about 9' to the left of where the blade would sit, and 5.5' to the right. This would be a dedicated miter saw table and will have a stop track system. I've thought about the portable rolling bench but I have the space for something permanent and like the dust collection aspect it...

    Miter saw depth on workbench

    No, just checked that out after you guys mentioned it. It looks promising, going to try and check some out in person. The depth that the saws list are tricky because I just need to know the depth from the fence to the back of the saw. My Shop...

    Miter saw depth on workbench

    I'm in the midst of building a couple workbenches. Just realized there is no way my dewalt sliding saw will fit, even if I recess the slide into a pocket between the studs it's still too deep. This is my current saw. Bought it not expecting to have a shop for several years. It plans changed and...

    That looks really nice. I have been thinking about doing some alternative surface for part of it, maybe I can scrounge something up on CL. One idea was to recess a piece of plate metal maybe a 3 foot section in the butcher block top. My Shop...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Continued working on getting my workbench setup. Hung my $5 dollar upper cabinets, have a few more. They aren't perfect but for that price they are great. Built the first platform for my toolbox to match the cabinet height. I will face the front of the 2x4 with something prettier. My Shop...
