I'm curious as to which route you chose and how the finished product looks. How is it coming so far Loren?

With that being said Loren, I would go Kent's route. Sometimes making things right just isn't worth fighting for if it means doing demo on what your father just did. I would feel a bit sick it I was...

I would get out the framing tools and do some re-frame work. There isn't a right way to make that look fluid. I would demo the left closet door, reframe to make the opening accept an appropriate...

There is supposed to be only one arsonist. And he has set ablaze more than 70 derelicts since October. It's insane how he is still not caught.

I would not move to Maryland, the Eastern Shore at least. Laborer rate is $8-10/hr, Apprentice $10-14, Carpenter $15-18.00 tops, Foreman $18-20.00/hr. Everyone seems to be switching to sub hourly...

Thanks Kent. I appreciate your input as always.

And also the new GMC 2500HD is working quite well. It pulls my new 7x16 enclosed trailer like it isn't even there. I found a nice truck cap for it...

My DW718 chopslide has died this week and the cost of repairs is just shy of a CPO DeWalt Refurb. Does anyone like the new slider better than the 718 slide? I have read mixed reviews online. I want...

We can either try to do it right or just "get-er-done".

A little vanity maybe...[/QUOTE]

I applaud you for taking the time and really making this look great. I know of far to many...

That individual technique on the home-built TS makes me cringe with fears of him losing appendages just to save a few British Pounds. Very very unsafe.

I second using 18ga staples. They do offer a better grip on the casings as they are transported through the house. Especially larger fabbed window assemblies.

Sounds like you have a excellent plan...

I had meant to add, I do the drywall screw method if your concerned about jamb movement, I prefer it over other methods to where you can adjust with a hand screwdriver the exact amount needed. The...

I've done this many many times, to many to count. The assembly table idea is key. If you have a helper utilize him while you're cut man. Using this system in a production approach can gain you hours...

I looked intensively at all of the piping today and couldn't fine a single thing that refers to a branding, parts number, or anything to base my research off of. It's just all mirrored finish double...

I regretfully do no have any info on this flue. I was just asked to do a ten sheet job and fix a few small things in the home prior to finishing. The house was someone else's project that was...

I have a question regarding finishing around a double wall chrome mirror finish chimney flue. First off I am a finish carpenter and do not really do much drywall finishing except as when needed such...

Just a heads up, Amazon is having a sale on DeWalt products up to 50% off. You can get the two track kit with clamps and router adapter for $660.00 +/-

I think I'm going to spring on this and a...

I will definitely take a look on NJ CL, thanks Rich.




That is an excellent idea Mark, I will be looking into that.



Thank you Tom.

Does anyone have any idea if there will be any sales on Track Saws, either Festool or DeWalt out of preference. Looking to buy some. Preferably the TS75 with two tracks kit. I remember I had just...

That looks like it should be behind my 4x4 on the beach. What a sweet little rig. All I would need is Jimmy Buffet playing in the lounge pull out.

There is a picture on Google where a contractor has taken the near useless side door and turned it into a closet for a ULine Screw Bin area. The side door opens and then all the fasteners are...

I've purchased a Cargo Mate 7x14 tandem with ramp and extra interior height of 6'6".

I have been thinking about making it very similar to Ron Paulk's mobile wood shop with storage solutions....

That sounds really interesting about the trim satchel. It is a hard market around here for Windsor. But I'm really going to start pushing for it. I'll have to talk to the rep for it when I call back....

I know this is redundant but, I have seen a lot of it used on several projects from various members here and have always really had an appreciation for it and how nice a company they are. This past...

I don't necessarily need the vertical supports for the arms/wings.

I was referencing the 16" material supports that are on the arms tend to pivot of of square in relation to the saw table itself....

Has anyone done anything to their DW stands that keep the material supports square to prevent them from pivoting around while being transported in their enclosed trailer/van? My stand rests on the...
