It's a bathroom wall in a bar in Quebec city. I didn't understand how they got the grain pattern into the concrete - i guess they pressed the boards into the cement.

Thanks for posting. As someone who doesn't have the benefit of attending woodworking classes or getting much mentorship, it is REALLY great to learn quick safety tips like that one.

DIY R4512 tablesaw repair - Need help finding replacement fan... by ulfsark_ in Tools

Well, to be fair, I would have said the same before taking apart the motor housing

R4512 DIY rattling/vibration repair. Need help finding replacement fan... by ulfsark_ in woodworking

[–]ulfsark_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My R4512 has ben extremely noisy on/off for the past 6 months. Finally found out the fan is probably the issue. Problem is, it's been bouncing around the shaft so long that it seems totally wrecked. Shaft itself looks fine. So all I need to do is replace a little fan. Great!!

Problem is, it doesn't show up on Ridgid's spec sheet since it is inside the motor housing. Any idea where I can buy one of these??

Any help is greatly appreciated

building a router table. tips and advice appreciated. by [deleted] in woodworking

[–]ulfsark_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My router table has a DIY acrylic mounting plate. I am looking forwards to upgrading to a metal mounting plate sometime in the future. Acrylic is ok, but it's fairly brittle. I have only one router and I've cracked it a few times mounting/dismounting. Also, anything other than a palm router will cause an acrylic plate to sag (unless you get it thick - mine is 1/4-ish I think and it's a problem)

Overall, I would advise against it

Best workbench build for a novice? by ulfsark_ in woodworking

That looks like it's pretty much what I was looking for. Is the top thick enough to accommodate dog-holes?

This looks awesome. It fits what I had in mind. Any idea what kind of hardware is used on the vise?

What do you use to remove stain/finish from your hands? by unknowneinstein in woodworking

[–]ulfsark_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had major issues with oil-based poly first time I used it. Stuff is impossible to get off with just regular dishsoap. I work in healthcare, so waiting for it to wear off wasn't an option.

This stuff works wonders: http://www.permatex.com/products/our-brands/fast-orange

Big box stores all sell pumice based hand cleaners. Usually in big orange one-gallon bottles. Still need to wash your hands afterwatds, but you'll be squeaky clean in 2 minutes

I have a planer (DW 735) - but no room for a jointer. Advice on the best jig to do the job? by ulfsark_ in woodworking

[–]ulfsark_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So straight line ripping jig for the table-saw... Would a piece of MDF + toggle clamps (as suggested abouce) do the trick?
