Thats like asking a dad to see pics of his new baby, lol. Here's one of my end table prototypes. I'm making this design in various sizes as well as a coffee table version. My production legs have a more pronounced curve to them.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Chemical removal is not an option. For polished furniture its not an issue as it comes off very easily. cvairwerks, thank you very much, that's exactly what I need. Do you have a source? The place I buy up here in Canada doesn't seem to stock them.

Well, just for fun I thought I'd chuck up the outfeed roller and see what happened with a carbide cutter. Well, I think I made the longest chip in the history of history. LOL I cant figure out how to share the video, but its very satisfying to watch... Then I checked the rollers for...

Hey Guys, I'm building aluminum furniture and need an easy method for removing the coating from AN470A (soft aluminum) rivets. I was thinking maybe the tumbler would be a good start. Thoughts? I need to remove the coating on hundreds so I'd rather get something non-labour intensive...

Thanks Guys. I've downloaded a few Grizzly manuals and they're identical so I think I'm set. It does seem that the newer models have steel outfeed rollers. It might be easier for me to remove the rubber and replace it with steel. I'm in Canada so sending down to JJ Short will be costly and...

Well, I've still not found any details on Powercraft but digging around I've found that the design is almost identical to the the Grizzly machines. I've started my sympathetic restoration and will post as I go. The outfeed roller rubber isnt in the best shape. It has a bit of a taper due to...

You asked who makes a "good" palm (RO) sander. Festool. There is no comparison between Festool and the big box store versions but the same can be said about the cost. Very expensive and only worth it if you're working with hardwoods and fine furniture or if you do it for a living. IMHO...

Hi guys, I picked up a used planer for a good deal in perfect working order. I was hoping to find a manual for it so I could service the machine and set it up properly. Unfortunately I cant find any information here or on the Google machine. Based on the patent information on the machine...

This one appears to be the right size for me. https://www.emotorsdirect.ca/item/baldor-410b

Thanks Guys!

Hey Guys, I've gotten my little fledgling furniture company off the ground and one of my main time sinks is polishing aluminum parts. Mostly flat-ish sheet aluminum parts and my 1/2 HP Eastwood buffer just doesn't cut it (pun intended) on larger parts. I'm thinking that a larger 220V machine...

Hey Guys, Work has kept me pretty busy but I thought I'd post a few shots of me filling the space with tools. I picked up a small lathe. I mostly work with Aluminum but this will handle smaller jobs with steel as well. Dragging the project back to the shop from my rental garage 1 block...

You ever wonder why you live where you live? LOL. Not too many negatives about where I live but this is #1:

Time to start constructing some cabinets. My celing is about 10' 6" on the low side and about 14' on the high side. I built the cabinets so I could comfortably stand under them and not hit my head. You can see when I wired the place that I ran switched power under the cabinets so I could add...

I got to using the shop for projects on the rest of the house reno. He's the walnut countertop for our bathroom vanity: Several coats of polyeurothane and finished with steel wool Back to the shop. Bought the roller sheer brake combo. I've since upgraded but I did get a lot of...

Although I love woodworking, I also love metal working. It was time to make myself a simple welding table to help with my welding withdrawal... Split a 4x8 5/8" sheet with a buddy My plasma was on the frits and my 7" grinder was at a buddy's place so I fought my way through this with a 4 1/2"...

A shot of the lighting up front. I toyed with the idea of putting lights in the other soffits but it was going to be very difficult due to the sprayfoam (I didn't think ahead) and the only reason for them is to show off the house. These lights provide usable light in the areas required, even...

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment!

What was I thinking was in reference to the amount of work I did myself. And thanks, I really like the cedar. I give all my vehicles names for some reason. I drove a Chevette back in University and now I drive a Cherolet Corvette. Its also a way to hide my mid life crisis in conversation...

Meanwhile, I got to work on my little storage mezzanine. 2x2" 0.125" WT steel tubing. Based on really basic Engineering design (ie load calculations and a FS of 2) it'll support 10,000 lbs. Time for a new lawn and put the girls to work Much better Another good spot for a break Wes
