    Source for Melamine

    I live near Washington NC and I need a few sheets of melamine for some shop cabinets. The closest source I can find is the Jacksonville Home depot. which is 52 miles away. I like melamine for shop cabinets because its cheap, fast, no finishing and in my use it has held up well. I know its not...

    Track Saw Advice

    When I got serious about woodworking I splurged and bought a festool tracksaw and connected it to my craftsman shop vac. My work quality jumped up considerably. I can't tell you that the Kreg or Makita is any better or worse but the Festool is great and the user community at the Festool Owners...

    Cutlist FX Label function

    As a hobbyist I have used and enjoyed Cutlist from Bridgewood Designs. I make a drawing in sketchup and import the parts to cutlist and it is pretty good at telling me the best way to cut my sheet goods and dimensional lumber as well as tracking costs and telling me how much material I will need...

    Decimal, fraction or metric

    I switched to metric a while ago and I doubt I would ever go back. On the other hand, I was told there are two type of countries in the world those that use metric and the one that put a man on the moon:-)

    3D printing experience

    Well I last year I bought a 3 D printer kit. I started to assemble it and then my father passed away, so I was very busy with the estate and just put everything in a box and figured I would get back to it later. I have now completed the assembly and made a dozen or so items with it. My feedback...

    BAD advice

    Yes, one of my pet peeves is when I am watching a video and they say the blade guards have been removed for clarity. Really? like we have not seen a saw blade cutting wood? Do we learn the technique better because the blade guard is missing in the demonstration. When the world comes to its...

    This cost $48,000.00

    Spoiler alert. Don't read this post if you don't want to know how it was done. The real trick was gluing the magnets to the ends of the rope which become the center of the rope. Notice how he pulls the rope before pushing the block out and as the block moves out a short section of rope inside...

    Mr. Cool Mini Split DIY

    I just put in a Mr. Cool Mini Split DIY 18,000 btu so I thought I would pass on an installation review. I just installed it so a long term performance review will have to wait. If you have a shop in Eastern NC, like I do, you are always battling heat and humidity. I bought this house in January...

    What is the best Lithium-ion hand tool brand?

    Dewalt, Makita, Milwaukee, Festool. I am not sure you could go wrong on any of these brands. I own several Festool products and they are simply great but for cordless I got into the Milwaukee Fuel line a few years ago and I am hooked. I have no experience with customer service from the other...

    Wow this drill bit surprised me

    Finishing a basement in my home and I had to do all the rough in electrical. Its 2800 sqft so there is a lot of holes to drill for running wire . I have a nice set of Irwin speed bores that were barely used but I would get 3/4 of the way through a 2x4 and it would no longer penetrate unless i...

    Harbor Freight HVLP Guns

    I painted a motorcycle with that gun back around 2008. It was simply great. I used it from primer to clear and I may have changed needles but I really don't remember. The gun is decent b ut with any paint job prep is everything. I found the gun would lay down a nice layer of paint. Most who saw...
