    Target USL

    I'm finishing some nightstands and the wife wants them Pottery Barn black. I did a bunch of test boards with India ink and it came out OK. However I would like to try some USL tinted black. Before I order some I would like to try it out since I have never used it before. Does anyone have...

    What do you do with your sawdust?

    I've been in the shop the last few nights milling some wood. I've filled 3 trash cans with chips from the plainer and jointer. While dumping the chips in the field behind my house I got to wondering what everyone else does. Do you bag it up and put it in the trash?

    tool gloat

    I was at Lowes last night shopping for plants with the wife. I happened to swing by the tools and noticed they had the Freud FT1702VCEK router on clearance for 129$. This originally sells for 199$. I couldn't pass it up.

    Plans for a charging station?

    Was wondering if anyone had some plans for a charing station. I'm looking from something to put on the counter to hide to cords for cell phones. Also maybe a drawer to put keys and wallets. I've tried to sketch a few in Sketchup but have not been overly pleased with the results.

    When my mother came to visit a while ago she brought some wood from her farm (she also brought something from the dark side. Another post coming) I used some of the maple and walnut to make this wine gift box. After experimenting with a couple different finishes I took the advice of...

    Ace hardware going out of business

    The Ace hardware in Rolesville is going out of business and items are up to 50% off. They don't carry many tools but they do have lots of...well hardware. They also carry a large selection of paint. Thought I would pass this along.

    Help setting up a PM2000

    I was able to follow the directions and get the saw together. However since this is my first "real" table saw I'm not sure how exact I need to get the part in-line. I put a straight edge to the table and it does not look perfect. This could be a result of the straight edge, saw-top or both...

    Finishes for Ash?

    Can anyone recomend a finish for Ash? I had thought about using India ink to dye it black but then decided I want more of a natural finish. Would you use BLO? Does anyone have any examples of natural finish on Ash?

    Looking for some opinions.... Currently I have a not so nice TS. It was a gift and has served its purpose to now but its time to move on. I've decided that I'm going to go with a TS with a riving knife. I'm in a position now to purchase a PM2000 or I could wait for an undetermined time and...
