Against my own better judgement, I purchased a cheap 'made across the pond' angle grinder.
Problems after no more than five minutes of use:
A screw had vibrated out from the gearbox to motor connection and was completely missing - I could not find the screw anywhere, it may have been...
I want to build some outdoor furniture for my wife. I recently went to a hardwood store to find some cypress or cedar and was stunned at the cost. Granted I am new to wood working and this was my first venture into the world of specialty wood stores. I, until now, have bought all my wood at...
In an earlier post, I mentioned that I am finally back in action from a woodworking standpoint after a three and a half year absence due to living in a rental property. Now that we have our own home again I am busy making replacement cabinets. I had a lot of 3" x 18" belts left which had now...
So, as a full disclosure, I am generally "safe" around power tools but was using my Rikon 10-345 18" BS yesterday to round up a bowl blank in a "not quite safe" way....the surface of the blank against the table had been partially flattened for stability...but obviously not enough stability...
Typically I am a person that lurks in the shadows but feel compelled to have a quick safety minute with everyone. Although this is not a bad injury and only got the tip of my finger it is still an injury that could have been prevented. On the flip side to that, this was a good awakening moment...

I just built new bathroom cabinets using oak face frames and oak plywood for the box. When testing wipe-on stains for color, I noticed the plywood isn't taking the stain evenly, even when using a sealer before the stain. (yes I bought chinese plywood from Lowe's - i've learned my lesson) It's...
Just wondering what went wrong - I was cleaning up and smoothing a glue up panel and the glue joints broke open. This is a three piece panel made from 5 inch wide cherry with jointed edges prior to glue up and glued with regular yellow glue that is maybe one year old - probably has been frozen...

I have only used one table saw in my life - the one I bought 16 months ago when I started making stuff out of wood more seriously. I bought the Ridgid TS2400 which is an excellent saw. But, I am ready to upgrade to a more solid platform. I have read reviews until I can't think straight. I...
