Tom,

That is a pretty compelling video...

I know a lot of guys like the Colt, I hate it. I think the way the depth adjustment works is a terrible design flaw. My friend Mick has a fix that he says works well, which I am going to try.

My...

I'm in too for a tool or two.

I remember hearing dryer sheets, but I haven't tried it...

That skilsaw in the shower is too easy to picture. Equal parts horrifying and hilarious!

- Kit

An idea area is a great plan, Gary. I do have a couple pictures of crown and base wrapping a bullnose corner because it's something hard for lay people to visualize from a spoken description.

I've...

Thanks for your feedback Darrel. I do get to know my clients, a few have become good friends.

Thanks Andrew,

I admit I'm a bit of an anomaly in that way...

I have always had much better luck working directly for home-owners than GCs. The biggest job I ever did came from my Craigslist...

Hi gents,

I posted a thread in the business technology forum about my website. I hate to cross post it (maybe I should have just posted here originally).

If you have a second to look, I'm...

Thank you Stacey, that's exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for.

I never really include my address because no one ever comes to the house. I do have a small shop, but all of my work is really...

Thanks Jerrald. I was hoping you would take a look. Weebly is really easy to use. You can drag and drop all the different elements onto the page, then add text, pics, etc. I'm pretty happy with the...

Hello all,

Some of you probably know me from the finish carpentry forum, where I have been a constant lurker and sometime poster for, jeez, 10 years?

I have recently revamped my website a...

Hi Bob,

I've done this quite a bit and always just used a block plane. If I needed to take a lot of material off, I roughed it in first with a belt sander. I did a whole house of alder corners...

Hi Jim,

I figured I'd post this here, just in case anyone else has the same question.

Is it possible to rebuild a clamp? I was letting some other guys use mine on a large job a while back and...

I'd be in for two more pairs as well.

dgbldr,

Mine are often almost there by the end of the day, with sweat and tool belt working their "magic". Plus, I have that late 30s, butt-shrinking/belly growing thing going on, too...

- Kit

That's all well and good, Ken, but what about us shorts types? Clip it to my leg hair, I guess...

Good find.

- Kit

Mine is still cutting well. I try to use my DW 716 when I can, but only because the Milwaukee is such a damn pig to carry. I've had no issues, though, other than tuning it up about a year ago.

I've been having pretty good luck with Oshlun blades. I also have a bunch of Festools and a couple Tenryu, which I got to pre-test when they were released. Hard to beat the Oshluns for the $.

- Kit

Thanks, lbt. Was figuring I might buy them for parts if they matched my guns.

Happy Friday.

lbt,

Know the models of the Sencos?

Thanks.

Kent,

I ordered a 5' recently, just to try it out. Though I haven't given it a true workout beyond setting a few windows, I really like the vials. They seem magnified, and are very easy to read. I...

Lee Valley has some unusual profiles, and Woodline also has a fairly extensive collection.

Chef,

I mostly use smaller bars that will fit in my bags, and I have a couple larger vintage ones I scored years ago at an estate sale.

I've been eyeing these Gransfors bars from Lee Valley for...

Gary,

Psyched to see the new article about construction. I've used your book (good pics and diagrams) on lots of jobs to show clients how much usable space they can get out of their limited closet...
