    Kreg K3 Jig Hole Misalignment???

    Greetings fellow members! I cut my first pocket holes today using the Kreg K3 jig, and I have a question concerning my results. I am using 1/2 MDF (I know I may be asking too much of this jig with the material choice and size) to box a portion of a new mantle shelf. I set the jig up according...

    Where Can I Purchase a Motor for Furnace in Raleigh?

    We discovered a mysterious burning smell earlier today. Turns out is was coming from the registers. The furnace fan would not come on. I have a direct drive system, so it couldn't have been a belt. After a fun trip through the crawl space I removed the side panel of the furnace. I...

    Has anyone taken advantage of the Klingspor's Spring Cleaning Sale?

    I received the flyer in the mail but have yet to stop by Klingspor's Woodworking Shop. I figured some of our members must have visited the store. Are there some good deals to be had? Surely there are gloats in hiding!?!

    Raised stand for lathe and lighting

    Today I decided to finally build a stand to increase the working height of my lathe. I used some salvaged plywood and 2x4's along with a pack of adjustable feet from Hartville Tool (they are nice :icon_thum). Since I never throw anything away, I took our old track lighting that was...

    Grandfather's Hand Planes

    I spent today helping my dad and he gave me 3 hand planes that belonged to his father, who was a carpenter by trade. I never had the pleasure of meeting the man, but they remain extra special. My dad had to share his memories of "ribbons" that were made with these very tools. They traveled...

    Trash Can Lid Separator Fit???

    Hey gang, I ordered one of the trash can lid separators and it says it fits a standard 20" can. Well, after dragging it through the store and trying it on each variety at the BORG, I still couldn't find one that seemed to fit properly. Question: Is there supposed to be a snug fit or does...

    Iturra Design - I give them an "A"

    I purchased 2 bandsaw blades from Iturra Design earlier this year. Upon arrival, I discovered that the Bladerunner blade was 3/4" too long. There was no way I could make up that slack. I had given them the spec'd length over the phone and that is what I was billed for. After just one call...
