Y'all are into bookmatched stuff, right? I accidentally bookmatched my fence.

I'm a fine woodworker now.

I was poking around on facebook marketplace and came across a photo of an interesting jobsite table saw stand:

I messaged the seller, but he wasn't super interested in being helpful if I wasn't buying the table saw itself. Just wondering if any of you guys have seen this design or something similar and might know where I can get some plans. I hate designing my own poo poo.

One of the foot rests that I made and gifted to my folks last year broke and my mom is calling in a warranty claim from me. Dang it!

Honestly this is kind of your fault for not just filing for bankruptcy and forming a new LLC right after finishing the project.

The quest continues to make a square/flush box without a bunch of sanding of wood filler, getting closer.

Anyone have any tricks for getting accurate angled cuts on the miter saw? I had a magnetic digital one but would read a few degrees different every time I used it, so I've just been doing test cuts with a 45 degree mark on them to get it set.

Does your miter saw not have detents at 45? If not, and you need to set 45 perfectly every time, just use a square set against the fence every time you're setting up your cut. If you have detents, then just follow the owners manual for how to properly square the blade.

Apologies if I've misunderstood the question.

I finished my thing. Putting up some shelves on this wall, partly so I could set up my old PowerMac, and I didn't want the ugly Dell monitor sitting there, so I de-cased it and made this. Bezel and stand are douglas fir, the back case is poplar. Finished in shellac.

Cords should be wrapped in sisal rope, whole project is a disaster without that finishing touch.

Put a normal rubber band onto the male part of the "slip fit" pipe/hose connection (of anything, this works for vacuum cleaners, etc too) and mash the female part over the rubber band and it'll stay put.

Man, this is different than I remember 'the talk' being.

My SUV was in the shop today getting a winter tire change, so I decided to take my wife's hatchback to get some wood from my local supplier. They were running some great black friday deals so I managed to save about $200 on some walnut and padauk I need for upcoming projects.

While loading it into her car I smashed my thumb between 2 pieces and my knee jerk reaction slammed one into the windshield shattering it.

And that's the story about how I lost $900 buying wood today (maybe less with insurance, we'll see).

I grabbed this exact one and wow what a workflow improvement. Thanks again for the recommendation. This has saved me an insane amount of time.
I found if I set my drill press to max speed it makes a really nice chamfer that I don't need to sand at all.

Is it some sort of crazy expensive car or do you have limited coverage or something? I thought no deductible windshield replacement was pretty standard these days.

Edit: nevermind, just a case of personal bias. It's always been free for me, but it's apparently based largely on what state you live in.

Hi, it’s me, a tool! Just reminding you to sharpen and wax me you’ll thank yourself and it won’t even take long!

It’s amazing what a difference it makes when you didn’t even realize poo poo was dull af.

Every 5 years when I change the blade on my table saw that I've used to cut all manner of poo poo, including cement board, I'm absolutely amazed at how well it cuts.

Then I feed it more cement board and dream about that day 5 years from now when I get around to replacing the blade again.

Sat in my Eames replica this morning and it simply snapped.

I assume this is beyond repair, right?

I wouldn't say beyond repair, just need a change in diet and probably a bit more exercise. Chair's pretty hosed though, sorry.

Earlier today my order of veneers arrived from Certainly Wood, about 300 sq ft of various veneers, definitely way more than I need or perhaps will ever use, but looking forward to some fun projects regardless.

drat I'm amazed at this bench. What's the SA prefix that's the opposite of "Grover"? Like calling it "Groverbench" would imply that it's going to break in half and cause the house to get on fire while it somehow sinks into a swamp, but this is like on the opposite end of the curve for over-engineering while somehow being a comparable absolute value of .

Sockington is already sort of an SA prefix, which is why I chuckled sensibly when someone suggested he put steel I-beams in the bench. This bench should not have any metal parts if avoidable.

I built a small stepstool from pine, what a nice wood to work with. It cuts and planes so easily compared to the hardwoods I normally use. This is one of the few projects I've built totally from pine, I normally use it for drawer sides and back. The only downside was this board was incredibly resinous, it really gummed my bandsaw blade up and my planer rollers.

There's always something impressive about a functional item that just looks nice.

The Dewalt jobsite saw is great for what it is, and the rack and pinion fence is fantastic.

so how bad is a Ryobi RTS10G table saw for any kind of precision?

Ryobi has come a long way in general tool quality, to the point where I'll now gladly buy stuff of theirs, but I still wouldn't trust them for things that need to be accurate. I have no first hand experience with that saw, but I feel confident blaming it for at least some of your issues.

That's not coming from a place of tool snobbery or anything - my table saw is the dewalt contractor one, and its been a dream to me, even as I push full sheets of plywood over it's 5 square inch table.
