I have a number of old beams from an old tobacco barn that I would like sawed up... some into boards for flooring & trim and some just squared up.

March 31, I ordered a quart of Waterlox Finish & Sealer on their website (waterlox.com). I checked the calendar, and it has been 9 business days since I ordered. :icon_scra The shipping is FedEx, so I went to their website to drop them a note. Less than an hour later, I got a reply: my order...
Tuesday afternoon, I ordered some router bits from MLCS. I had them by 2:00 PM today. That is fast. They were sent by priority mail. A couple weeks ago, I ordered some and they came UPS in three days. Still good service.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for a place around Charlotte to send router bits, planner knives and such for sharpening. Used a place near the Panthers stadium years ago but can not remember the name. If I can find a place on the South side I may drop stuff off and have them ship it back to me. I try to stay out of...
Hi All!
I'm looking for a place to take ~1000bf of fir/pine for surface planing. I recently came across a great deal on some old gym bleacher seats and need to have the lacquer/poly finish removed. Would like the location to be within 30-100miles of Durham - I can drop off and pick up. Would...
Just thought I would share my experience wirth Grizzly. I have been searching for a good miter saw stand, but couldn't find anything decent for under $200. I happened to be looking at the Grizzly web site and noticed what looked like a very sturdy stand, priced at only $89. So I placed an order...
I have long been an advocate and user of Mirka Gold sandpaper. After reading raves about RHYNOGRIP (made in Portugal) paper from Industrial Abrasives and needing some fine grits I ordered a couple of 50 count boxes for the 5" 8 hole sanders.
After using it for a few weeks I was sold. I do indeed...
I've got a seriously dull 12" Freud miter saw blade that needs a good sharpening. Any suggestions on places around Charlotte that do a great job at a reasonable price? :eusa_thin

I bought a Shop Fox drillpress as part of a NCWWer group buy a few months ago. I posted my findings upon assembly and also measured runout, table flatness, quill to table angle, etc. My impression was and still IS, that this is not a precision machine...it's a value for money machine. I like it...

This weekend, the LOML decreed that I have yet to make her a decent pen that she could call her own, and that oversight would now be set right. So she strolled out to my stock of pen blanks, like the queen of my domain she is, picked up a piece of chinawood, and said, "I want a nice pen with a...
Frist I hope this is the right place for this.
