Re: Shelf addition

I did not want to make any permanent modifications to the piece of furniture. We may yet sell it someday and I'd really like to keep it as original as possible. The doors on the sides pull forward and close. It never really screams "I'm an old TV cabinet!" when the doors are closed. It mor...

Re: Shop cabinets - drawers vs doors/shelves

Either are preferred over open shelves IMO. Too much dust on stuff in the storage areas. I need to make some doors and drawers. Open shelves are terrible.

Shelf addition

We acquired a large TV storage unit some time ago. We no longer use it for storing a television. But it is a nice piece of furniture and is does work well for storage. Wife asked if I could add some shelves to it to make it more storage friendly and less avalanche prone. So I did what I could. Nothi...

X2 It must be a promotional price as it isn't even on the main site yet.

Very tempting indeed.

Re: Vacuum or dust collector for power hand tools?

Stick the open end of the 1" hose into the open end of the 4" hose. Make sure there is sufficient overlap. I think that might work. I have done this with my 1" hose and a 2 1/2 inch shop vac hose. It worked (for the most part.) I eventually made some bushings with the lathe, Much bet...

Re: Grip n rip

Very nicely done sir. I have some short cut offs that just may find a use in something like this. I just wish I understood it's utility. Check out the MicroJig Grr-Ripper for the safety/utility of this tool. http://www.microjig.com/products/grr-ripper/ This has been on my Amazon wish list for years,...

Re: Machine Height

My shop floor drops nearly an inch over its 20' length. As good Garage floors should do. You can always try winding sticks. Assemble ends to bench tubes and way tubes snug but nit all the way tight without the headstock. Place winding sticks on either and adjust Bench Tube positioning until the win...
