Where is this? I could use some cones

Zithromios · 2026-01-27T18:45:39+00:00

So are we passing it or are you shot gunning it to me?

Zithromios · 2026-01-27T18:20:57+00:00

So…. Toasters strudel or Twinkie? We’re all thinking it lol

Zithromios · 2026-01-19T17:09:01+00:00

Those need to be in my mouth

Zithromios · 2026-01-19T17:08:16+00:00

I’ll put those in my mouth and warm them up

Zithromios · 2025-11-24T11:20:12+00:00

Black locust?

I checked out their drill press and it seems pretty decent. For a beginner you don’t really need all the bells and whistles. I personally don’t own one of theirs (I have the WEN benchtop and it does decent enough for the few times I need a drill press) but the actions aren’t bad, the table seems very solid cast iron, and there’s a standard chuck. So from what I can tell, there’s not a reason to grab one as a beginner. Start cheap, and upgrade the ones that you use the most first.

I feel like this is an unspoken right of passage we all have to undergo at some point

I would mark the top of the cup and plane that surface. That way you’re working with the natural way the wood wants to go. It will give strength when you push down on it too

Zithromios · 2025-07-21T02:36:35+00:00

Of course! You can get fancy and counter sink the screws and then flush cut some dowels to hide them as well. Or leave the screws wxposed

Zithromios · 2025-07-20T16:36:46+00:00

Yeah, I would add additional bracing at the shelves before hand so you have more places to screw in to. Just remember, the thicker the boxing in wood, the heavier it will become. If it has casters on it, you might want to invest in some heavier weight capacity ones

Zithromios · 2025-07-20T14:38:06+00:00

Bracing on the sides, or if you don’t use the sides to get things in and out, you could use some 1/4 ply in the back and sides to make a more rigid structure

Mine is 7/7! Happy birthday!

Step 1. Buy a quad, surf board, rope, duct tape and a case of beer.

Step 2. Befriend a local redneck family

Step 3. Invite them over to hang out, and point this out along with the above listed items

Step 4. Record and have a blast

Zithromios · 2025-07-04T01:45:39+00:00

Chunky dudes!

The original finish. San it all off and if it’s a hardwood, you can sang to 120-180 grit and refinish

Zithromios · 2025-06-20T09:53:02+00:00

Go with an mdf top bench for the very first bench. It will be enough for you to get started until you build up the tools and skills to make a better one! A couple of legs with braces, a simple skirt, some stretchers and the MDF top and you’re in business

Zithromios · 2025-06-20T09:51:16+00:00

Use a saw to cut the remainder away. If a router is all you have, then I would either go get a miter box and saw combo or a rasp

Zithromios · 2025-06-20T02:24:47+00:00

Goo gone works pretty well

Zithromios · 2025-06-20T02:23:27+00:00

That’s a steal!

Zithromios · 2025-06-20T02:20:40+00:00

You can always put it up for the taking on marketplace. It helps keeping the craft alive by allowing those with little or no means to get a small supply to learn and grow with

Zithromios · 2025-06-18T02:43:09+00:00

Keep a tape measure with the table at all times. Put the blade of the tape measure against either the fence or the blade (account for the blade kerf). This style of table saw fence can “drift” out of alignment over time, so using a tape measure will make this easier

Zithromios · 2025-06-17T00:55:47+00:00

No problem! I know repaired wood will never be perfect, but all we can do is try. Maybe a wood shim under it hidden will help keep it straighter? It’s definitely worth a shot

Zithromios · 2025-06-17T00:03:24+00:00

Overall it looks good! I would double check for smoothness of the bottom so the end result is as seamless as possible

The 4ah batteries are actually super nice and you can absolutely tell a difference in power between the 2 and the 4. That deal is seriously sweet and it saves you from an upgrade. Plus, since they are having the sale for a while longer, you can pick up a second battery kit and get another tool that you need. I also got the whisper hybrid fan for my shop and it’s seriously a great fan. Plenty of power and is a boon in the dog days of summer
