I used bee's wax "forever" but these days I usually just dip the tip of the screw in the wood glue for lube. Works fine for me. . I never even thought about using glue for screw lube. My question is, if you want to back them out later, are you "screwed"? I did read somewhere yea...

Hey, I got to rambling about my own plans, and forgot to ask: What is the roll of paper for?

Dude: Like almost everyone else on this forum, you are well ahead of me on the cool workshop stuff front. That is a GREAT looking workbench. I personally have plans to recycle a surplus workbench from OSU. It has a nice old antique cast iron frame, but needs new work surfaces. It has been in my poss...

Assuming you discovered the charge online, did it show as a memo item or was money actually removed? The above comment is accurate and a normal occurrence for long standing orders. If it appears money has actually been taken you owe it to yourself to call Shopsmith's toll free number first thing Mo...

I've been waiting on a bandsaw insert for the cast-iron table, going on nine months now. What looked like a charge to my credit card turned out to be simply a "temporary authorization". I called SS after a few weeks to see if my insert had been lost in delivery. Two bits of good news: 1) S...

But after finally suffering through the requisite cable burying & pulling, Wifi modem setup, and iPad/iOS learning curve, online content has al...

Dude: I am clearly behind you on shop-organizing progress. Although in self-defense, I have withheld from the landfill a genuine U.S. made pre-HD tube-type TV cabinet on casters that is destined to become a customized SS accessory & SPT roll-around storage unit. It is built like a brick you-know...

OK, since I'm a smoker (BBQ) as well as a woodworker, I already save my hardwood sawdust. Walnut may harm plants, but it is a RARE treat, on the smoker. steve That sounds like a great use for sawdust! I currently buy wood chips and soak them in water for a few hours before putting them in a smoker ...

Thanks for the tip! I have found my own multi-tool invaluable for grout removal in the shower, and the plunge-cutting capability through both drywall and wood trim has made a couple of remodeling projects easier than they had any right to be. The OEM blades are holding up so far, but now I know wher...
