Weekly brief choices
Hi guys any one know what the weekly brief choices are about? How do we know what wins?
Sliding Table saws
I’m thinking of buying a sliding table (panel) saw. Anyone familiar with these? I haven’t used them before. There is a Grizzly saw for sale (grizzly G0623X3) for $3250 Cdn but comes with a roto phase so I can actually use it. New panel saws are...
Metric vs imperial
I wish that manufactures would indicate what threads are use in their products. Many times a nut or bolt is lost and trying to find a match can be a pain in the ass getting the right one. I even have some tools that have both. Also fine and...
Box swap...

I've been out of my shop

Is teak ok to use for a baby cradle?

Table saw safety "kickback"
Not normally being one for what would be known here in UK as a “safety sally” I’m now going to start a tablesaw safety topic. I have being using table saws in one form or another since I was about 15 and before that assisting my dad with the...
Rigid jointer
I am going to change the blades on my Ridged JP06101 jointer. The orange one. I’ve watched videos on YouTube but thought it best to ask if anyone here has changed the blades on this specific model. Any hints or tips are appreciated.
