    This is the cutting board I plan on listing on ebay. Looking for any ideas or feedback on how to price the listing. yellowheart, wenge from Africa and Black cherry from Memphis. Curly maple from Ohio. the black cherry is priceless. About 12 years ago we lived in Bartlett, Tennessee which is...
  2. Harbor Freight Wagon Mod

    I was looking for a wagon to transport coolers over rough terrain and lawn. Pneumatic Tires on the Harbor Freight Wagon was a plus but the 4' length was more than I needed and not easily transported in an SUV, Mod was in order I made a new deck recycling some oak paneling left over from when I...
  3. A pen a day...the sickness is escalating

    The pens really allow me to work with techique and design, some of it works, some…not so much, but usually the wood shines through the bad design and it's a success story anyway.

  4. Easy Dust Separator

    This is the build of a dust separator. I needed something to pull the dust away from power tools that had a 2" or smaller hose attachment. My 1.5 hp, 6" hose double chamber vacumn didn't pull enough suction when necked down to the smaller diameters. I had downloaded the Bill Pentz...
  5. Arts & Crafts frame

    One of the simple pieces I'm happiest just looking at. Quartersawn white oak with a glazed finish to get that arts & crafts look. The thin thru-tenons were hand chopped with not too much slop. And pegged into place. There's some satisfaction to have something with no metal fasteners (except...
  6. Small box with scraps

    After I finished my recent burl box- I needed to use the scraps. Worked them into the legs and top of this 5"x 5"x 6" tea box. I will be making a bunch more for christmas. Better then burning the small pieces. Big leaf maple burl and wood.

    Does anyone have any experience with the Craftex brand? I saw a few reviews on here but not many. This seems to be Busy Bee's "house brand" like Mastercraft is to Canadian Tire. Is this just a Canadian version of Grizzly, I know that Busy Bee and Grizzly had a non-compete agreement, I think it...
  8. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I've got a 2HP Craftex dust collector with a canister filter. It's basically the same as the Grizzly of similar size. I've got a 4" line running through solid pipe to all my tools. This connects to the collector via a 3 way split into the machine. Before the split the machine has some metal...
  9. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    It's on sale right now but I can't find any reviews other than one on the Busy Bee tools website which I have to be a bit skeptical of. https://www.busybeetools.com/products/10in-wet-grinder-craftex.html It's a fair bit cheaper than a lot of others out there so I'm a bit hesitant. I'd like a...
  10. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Just curious if any Canadian folks have CX06HC and can comment on it. Currently have a 6'' bench top jointer and its fine, but I feel like I'd prefer something a bit more sturdier and cast iron. There is also the King Industrial which looks almost identical...

    Found It I've been in the market for a new table saw for a while, but I haven't done much about it. Life has pulled me in different directions and finding the time to think about a table saw purchase has been far from important. However, recently things have changed. With the birth of my first...

    Upper Shop Cabinets $36.70 Matthew and I were going to do a video this weekend but got side tracked with the need for storage. Things are piling up and disorder is setting in. Time to get things in order a little. Last week I added a drawing for shop cabinets to the free plans section on...

    Im trying to decide on either on the craftex CT146 $599CAD @ busybee http://www.busybeetools.com/products/TABLESAW-CONTRACTOR-10IN.-1.5HP-CRAFTEX.html Or the ridgid R4512 $500CAD @ Home Depot http://www.ridgid.com/Tools/10-Cast-Iron-Table-Saw/EN/index.htm I see a few people with the ridgid saw...

    Ok, out of square may be a stretch, but it's the truth. The CT146 by Craftex (busy bee tools) is 3 thousands of an inch out of square. lol, I know, I have it bad. But my question to you is, do you like to have your fence tilt a few thou away from the blade on the back end, or do you like it DEAD...

    For those with the TS-3650 or the CT-146 here is a video just posted today from Busy Bee.
  16. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Hello everyone! I'm an amateur of woodworking in Taiwan. Few days ago, I bought an inventory 15" bandsaw from the manufacturer, and this one is almost the same with the model Craftex CT015N once sold by BusyBeeTools in Canada. (img sourcehttp://canadianwoodworking.com/tools/14-band-saws)...

    I also posted this on sawmillcreek. just for an FYI Looking at getting either a General International 50-275RC30 (which I seem unable to find any reviews of ($1,799)) or a Shop Fox w1819 ($1841.90 shipped) (amazon.ca) which is the Grizzly 690. What I have now is a Bosch jobsite Saw GTS1031 ...
