  3. Do It Yourself Guitar Armrest

    This was just a quick little project I did in my spare time. My friend had a cheapo acoustic that she was never playing and decided to gift it to me. I sanded off all the thick paint that was inhibiting the sound of the guitar quite a bit, and then made the armrest. I've always wanted a guitar...
  4. Harbor Freight Dust Collector Upgrade

    After months of researching, I finally decided to build my own dust collection system. This system is entirely bagless, and has been extremely efficient so far. I needed a system that had little footprint and high dust collection capacity. The motor is a Harbor Freight motor that I purchased...
  5. Table Saw Dust Collection Improvement

    So I have a Craftsman zipcode saw. My main complaint is it has very poor dust collection. The cabinet is full of nooks and crannies and openings that trap sawdust or allow it to leak out. A few years ago I built a large work bench that integrated the table saw. I ditched the saws legs and...
  6. 5-Board Benches

    My new neighbors are waiting for their furniture to arrive from Texas, and they said it might not be here for several months. They asked me to make a couple of five board benches for their dinning room table. They wanted simple. The benches are made from 1X pine, and are about as simple as...
  7. Necessity, the mother of invention

    so for Christmas several years ago, I got my first table saw. It was about $100 from big blue and I was happier than a pup with two tails. I was very new to woodworking and excited to give my circular saw a break and start making larger projects. this is one of the first modifications I made...
  8. Modifying a Harbor Freight Dust Collector

    This is my version of modifying a Harbor Freight Dust Collector and adding a Super Dust Deputy. The cabinet is made from 3/4 inch OSB subflooring and the dust collection drawer front is 3/4 inch OSB subflooring. The drawer itself is made of 3/16 inch project plywood. The main cabinet and...

    Another save from the fireplace. My wife gave it to her secret sister
  10. Jatoba with a bloodwood heart

    The spousal unit and I were cruising the lumber store, looking at wood-porn and just having a nice time. The budget was very tight, so we didn't expect to take anything home…but there was this pile of flooring remnants. Three-foot-long pieces of a very unimpressive looking wood, sort of muddy...
  11. Fence and Gate

    This is a fence and gate I built on my grandparent's property about two years ago. The fence was assembled from pre-fab eight-foot panels for time and cost efficiency. I modified one of the panels to create the gate. It was reinforced, cut to shape and hardware was added. I just wanted to post...
  12. Bandsaw

    Hello All, I bought this beauty some time ago on Ebay, a Vintage 1950's 10" Delta Homecraft new still in its original box. The original invoice for the order was with the operational literature. I had previously purchased an old 14" Delta bandsaw but when I saw this baby I had to have it. My...

    I'll start off my wish list for better engineered dust collection on all my tools starting with the bandsaw. What would you change if you could? Bob
  14. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I hacked at my Grizzly G1060 to get it somewhat operational. The clamp blocks were missing so ended up purchasing the EZ blocks that were not designed for this exact model, hence… hacking! For $15 of this scroll saw and $19 for the EZ clamps, it's not too shabby. I say 98% operational because...
  15. Marketplace Classifieds
    Greetings and salutations Lumberjocks! I'm looking for the retrofit kit from the recall put out on Craftsman Radial Arm Saws. My saw was built in 1977, model number 113.19771. Anyone who is getting rid of/disposing of their RAS, or has the retrofit kit and is unhappy with or has no need for...
  16. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I recently started woodworking and have really enjoyed the new hobby. I purchased a used Craftsman Table Saw 152.221140 and everything on it is stock. I am finding myself very confused between competing brands and it appears many saws look similar to mine with different branding. The heart of...

  18. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    So I'm in need if a bandsaw to use for resawing. However, for the cuts I want to make, I dont have $1500 for a bandsaw with the power and capacity needed. So, my question is this, can I modify a cheap big box store bandsaw by putting a gas engine on the pulley and stiffen the frame to handle...

    Howdy all, I have a Jet Vortex 1100 DC with the 2-micron canister. I do not like that the canister still allows the worst kind of dust out and I am a little paranoid about how much might be in the air. Cleaning the filter is a pain and there is A LOT of fine powder in there. The paddles are...
