It provides a significantly easier and more precise way of aligning the table saw blade to the miter slot than the manufacturer’s suggested method of pounding on or prying on the trunnion ... PALS consists of 2 each threaded studs, flat washers, nuts, lock nuts, L-brackets with adjustment screws and lock nuts, and 1 Allen Wrench or hex key

When you don’t have $50 to spend on a beautiful, professionally made, dovetail chiseling hammer, make one for yourself! Visit your local Home Depot, go to the lumber section and seek out the discount lumber rack. Find an oak 2×4 painted green on the ends, because green means they are $0.51 each! Then, cut four equal square pieces from that 2×4, align them straight, glue them together real good, drill a 1” hole down the center, and shove that 1” diameter oak dowel rod through there and

Bought these at the wood show ... We have gone through 6 boxes of them ... However I didn’t count how many times a disc went flying ... The velcro/hook and loop on the back doesn’t seem to stick that well ... It’s not that the pad was worn out, one of the sanders we tried them on was new ... For the most part they work, but you get what you pay for ...

I was really interested a while back when this puzzle was displayed. After making one, I couldn’t decide where to keep it that was safe from being scattered all over. This is the result and it appears to work quite well. I have not installed a finish as I was trying to decide what type of wood to make them out of. This one is a combination of cedar, walnut and plywood for the sliding top. I would like some input from you fellow lumberjocks ...

My wife knows little to nothing about woodworking, that being said when she saw the small size of the latest project I am working on I got the standard “You be careful, I don’t need you to cut off a finger” speech and the infamous look ... She thinks like Tim Taylor of Tool Time I will use the equipment with the most power for every project which means my 10 inch table saw to make a 1/87th scale (HO Scale) Bedroom Set where the bed is less than 1 inch long ... Little does she know I do
