A discussion on small shops should make for a long thread on its own. I call my work area The Made in USA (Mostly) Shop and my ShopSmith Mini is the central work tool. My shop area is under a hundred square feet and I find a certain logic in having everything close at hand rather than wandering arou...

Start driving NOW.
Quick impressions: We arrived around 1:30pm so quite a few things were already picked up. They still have quite a lot of logo-type gear on hand like hats, buttons, demo stuff and the like. NIB castor wheels for a Sawsmith $40 but they would have to be narrowed to fit a Power Station or Mark V. NIB J...

Repainting a Mark V Speed Dial
I want to repaint the Speed Dial on my 32+ year old Mark V since it is well worn. I was thinking that I should use a chemical paint remover, sand it, and then paint it with a red enamel. Any overpaint I could wipe off with a rag.
Any suggestions?

Thanks Tim, I began pursuing woodworking as a hobby this past Spring. I was researching Mark V's when I came across a pristine Joint-Matic on Craig's List so I bought it. Two weeks ago I bought a used, slightly rusty, 70's Mark V for less than what I paid for the Joint-Matic. I haven't heard back fr...

We can compete
Keep in mind that China has yet to deal effectively with issues that we in the US have grappled with for decades such as coal mining safety, labor unions, health and retirement, and environmental concerns too numerous to list.

My number is 9364 so that sits r...
