Bill, good to talk w/ you today, as always. I think I get your meaning as to where to measure.

I wanted to allow me to use the regular rip fence without modification, and I finally came up with a really sim...

Every keyless chuck I've ever used seems to slip under all but the lightest drilling procedures. I've got a pretty strong grip, but nothing like what a keyed chuck system offers. I seem to have as much success by putting a 1" rubber "ring" cut out of a lightweight bike inner tube arou...

I've been using Rustoleum #7219 Verde Green hammered enamel. It's pretty much a dead on match & the hammered look looks, to me, better than just regular green metallic. I get it at Menards for somewhere around 7-8 bucks a can. You can probably see it on their website. I've also seen it at Ace Ha...
