I have a cheap Harbor Freight model I will have to give it a try. But it only seems to make noise when I am cutting. I will need an extra hand.

For years my Bandsaw has made a wailing sound almost errie that I have tried to find time and time again. Because of this thread and the fact I needed to use the bandsaw again I decided to locate the sound for once and for all. In the past I have oil/greased everything that I could find that turned...

I started looking for an edge sander to sand some small jewelry type wood boxes. The problem with most edge sanders is they run at almost 4,000 RPM. Way too fast in my opinion.

Most places use one or the other because they are offered a special price if they use them exclusively. No matter what service they offer someone will complain wanting the other. At work we receive shipments each day from FedEx And UPS. In our case the FedEx order is most often received in good cond...

Hello! I am in the process of making the Wood toy steam train from a set of plans In the Shopsmith/Popular science book from 1988. This is the same train that can be seen on a shelf behind Nick in the Sawdust secession video’s I am having problems figuring out the measurements of part “C” Lower Plat...
