The dewalt bit guide/sleeve is very cheaply made. It has a little ring in there that stops it from sliding all the way off. That little ring comes loose pretty easily, and it renders to tool basically useless. Buy a different brand!
Just viewed this and I know it's 4yr's ago but, just viewed a similar build by Paoson woodworking. His version had fold down legs so the whole thing could be used at a bench height. Footprint pretty much your same dimensions. Have you considered or improved your design towards this end?
Just getting into woodworking after retired from 35 yrs as a cop. My little shop is roaring . I notice that 3/4 ply Baltic is very hard to get and very expensive. Seems to be more 1/2 available . Even American ply looks good. Can you talk about us vs Baltic wood ple@se.
Cordless tools seem to have leaped forwards so much in the last several years and I'm all here for it. So in my opinion the best brad nailer for most people would be the one that fits their existing batteries. Yes, brand XYZ could have a better one on paper but the extra money and space for those other batteries would just be better used for something different. I have decided to stubbornly stick to one battery type and that means all of my tools are compatible with all my batteries. I never have to even think about that.
I stopped buying tan deck screws. I replaced some deck boards on my friends deck and most of them had rusted where the tan coating chipped off. IMHO not a good deck screw to use. I do use the Hillman gold decking screws. Very expensive but worth it. I have removed these screws from various decks and found them to be in perfect condition to be reused.
I know this is a US market channel, but I wish you made a portion of this video for us european smucks! Our homes are made of brick walls and concrete, I was looking for some tips for hanging a heavy celling fan, but your walls are made of wood and paper of there so no use for people like me... Joking on the paper and wood, was a joke lol :D
Palm is great until you need to put a 1/2 inch radius on a piece of wood. The hole on my makita palm baseplate is too small for this bit even though it’s 1/4 inch shank.
If you motice the smallest line are odd number wit h is harder to resigisyer so what me and my step dad do is would be lile 65 and 3/8 string or weak .weak if its a 16th leas strong if its a 16 more
That's the problem with Makita, too many RPM's. It's probably the most dangerous brand out of the big three. As soon as their tools come up against any resistance their tools jump, sometimes towards your face. Anything but Makita for me. It's no good for most construction and it can become very dangerous due to the high RPM's.
Nope. Not in 100% agreement. Most pallets that I've come across are wood and can get good one use H/D pallets for free. I wouldnt botther woth them if it was for a project that required tearing down the pallets, but for portable or temporary fencing/privacy screen, then pallets are just fine.
You probably should also mention scoring. That is, if you score the cut line with a utility knife, it will greatly reduce the chipping effect of the upstroke. Also works when using a circular saw.
Hello, I am 75 years old, so the last thing I want to be doing is changing out a garbage disposal unit. When I was younger, I would hope something would break around the house so that I could fix it. Thanks to you and Grant, I say thank you 1,000,000,000,000.00 times for this video.
I have a DeWalt 744 table saw and have not been able to locate a riven blade for it. I noticed you had one on your old table saw. Can you identify the part and where to locate it. Thanks.
Two questions. 1.Could I drain my water heater into my sump? 2. The other option is draining it into my utility sink. However, it is about 20-30 feet away. It has less obstacles to go around than to my sump. My utility sink is higher than drain on my water heater, so i imagine i could still drain it, but maybe drain the remaining water in a bucket?
