  1. Remote control

    I recently added an air filtration system to my shop. It is a store brand for the midwest Menard's home center, but I believe it is a rebranded Grizzley G0738. It is working well for me, except the battery cover kept falling off the remote. The remote uses rather cheap-looking plastic. I decided...
  2. Shopmade Rip-Snorter Push Block (Grr-Ripper)

    For some reason I have been doing more jigs than a Irish Folk Festival lately. Maybe it's because I retired less than two years ago and finally have the time to enhance the capabilities of my shop. Here's the latest, a push block, The Rip-Snorter: The center block is fully adjustable. It...
  3. 2-Sided Picture Frame

    I was searching the net for some Christmas gift ideas and found this on Fine Woodworking. Decided to make a couple for some friends of mine who are avid photographers. Photo mattes and glass are from dollar store frames. First try at hand cut tenons.
  4. Better Dust Collection on Ridgid Sander

    I've used a Ridgid Oscillating Belt & Spindle Sander (4424) for years. I'm actually on my second one now. I have a 4" line from my Oneida dust collection system attached to it. It helps tremendously, but doesn't get all the dust. While vacuuming dust off of it again this week I thought there...
  5. Tea Light

    This isn't much, but it got me in the shop for a little while. The Base is Tiger Maple and the candle holder is a piece of Cherry. I've had these oil tea light in the shop for about 10 years - finally got around to doing something with them (at least I'm starting). Not much to look at, but...
  6. Spice Cabinet

    I wanted to make something for the kitchen. So I decided to make a spice cabinet. I wanted a small footprint and still have enough room for a variety of spices. I had the cabinet doors swing out and put shelves in the doors as well as the back of the cabinet. When it came to pulls, I...

  11. TV Remote Control Caddy & Organizer

    The wife has been wanting something like this for a while now. I kind of see it as a way to collect more junk into a smaller space, but it does work much better then the desk organizer we have been using. The wood is red oak with a walnut drawer pull, approximate size is 11" x 11" x 5". This...
  12. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Has anyone ever tried to DIY a slow speed grinder? I have an antique B&D benchtop. Would it be possible to hook it to one of those router speed controllers? Or have I taken leave of my good senses. I was just wondering if anybody had tried, or knew of such. Seems a shame to buy another...

    Dust Collector Remote Switch Help Bought this remote controlled switch some time ago from Woodcraft 240V version and it was advertised that it would work with any DC units. I have an AXMINSTER ADE2200 EXTRACTOR 240V 1100W it's very similar to a JET DC. My problem was that the remote...
  14. Woodturning
    Hello! I bought this lathe- worked well though the variable speed arm was hard to turn. Moved into shop, now it wont turn on and the line controling the revees drive has come loose from the bolt (i think while carrying my buddys face forced the lever). Any advice on the slow start controler...
  15. CNC Woodworking
    Good Morning Folks, I just purchased and EleksMaker E3 Pro w/ the 2500 mw laser module. The setup was super easy, the unit is nice and sturdy. This unit clearly will do fine as an advanced hobbyist tool. Probably just a bit light for production work, but that is not my goal. My issue is...
  16. Focus on the Workspace

This particular summer I have a lot of projects I want to work on but it's been consistently high humidity….and I'm wondering what is the best method for dehumidifying my 2 car garage wood shop? I have an...
  17. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    First post. - Hello! So, this is not about me. I'm more of an electronics hobbyist than woodworker…that got a 3D Printer…wanted to build a cabinet for it… and got carried away down the following rabbit hole… I got a Craftsman CMEW020 6in Variable Speed Jointer from a big box store. I read the...
  18. Blogs
    in memoriam A recent string of chatter had me post an obit spoof as a potential t-shirt idea. Chip, Greg and Dr Sawdust (put in for about 3 dozen orders) and suggested I post this as a bonafide blog to gauge a wider audience… Oh, Obi and Karson like it too! So fellow jocks, does anyone else...
