  1. I talked with Steve once about hardwoods to be painted. His number one choice was maple. I used maple one my kitchen cabinet doors when I did the renovation last fall. Primes and paints real nice, I highly recommend it.
  2. No, I just meant between the two drawers where ever that is. In other words, drawer, shelf, drawer.
  3. The old nightstands I just replaced were 30" the new ones are 22" so you are almost in the middle of really wide and and a more normal size. 🙂 Did you give any thought to putting the shelf in the middle? I am trying picture it but you have sketch up to try the move. I know it would ad a web frame and it also could end up butt ugly.
  4. I would think a design similar to the desk drawers would fit well with the bed design.
  5. Yes I did and they said not at this time. Hopefully someday things will change
  6. I wish they sold extra stops. There are times it would be nice to have two setups.
  7. Well if you get the adjustable bed you probably won't need the slates. Most of the ones I have seen have their own frame and leg system. Same with the sleep number beds.
  8. How thick is the box material on this?
  9. If you do get any squeeze out with the Lexel just let it dry and it cleans up pretty easy with an exacto knife.
  10. I always thought that was just the way they were made. We should looking to that company called Deep Pockets, maybe their pants pockets are a better fit.
  11. Well that goes with out saying. I was just thinking it would have been nice to access all sides all at once.
  12. I think if I had the room you have in your shop I would have left it assembled minus the slats to spray the top coat. Use some packing tape on the ends of the side rails to keep things from sticking together.
  13. I did it mainly to make storing the pipe a little tidier in the small shed.
  14. I remove the clamps, store them in a drawer and the pipe is out in the shed.

    Seems the biggest problem is a shortage of shipping containers. I get almost weekly updates from vendors that I buy supplies from. They are dealing with big delays from their suppliers because the suppliers are waiting for empty containers to show up. Containers were used to ship PPE's to parts of the world that normally don't have a lot of shipping commerce so the empty containers are kind of stranded in those ports. And they can't build new containers fast enough.
  16. In that case the assembly table just becomes a large, misplaced night stand
  17. At least it is heavy in four separate pieces.
  18. Someone mentioned it one one of the podcasts I listen to, I have no personal experience. I would have to quit being a nice guy if I had to replace my edge every time I share my tracks. Lol
  19. This is true to a point. The Makita offset is different then the Festool saw. I don't know which way but before I would let a Makita owner borrow my tracks I would want to see that their saw doesn't cut my zero clearance edge and make it useless for me. 😧
  20. When doing something for shop furniture I don't clamp and things come out grea, but yea, when it something nice and money is on the line I clamp.
  21. We bought the TS-55 at Woodcraft one week end. We were starting the Camphor slab table. Late in the day we found out it wouldn't cut deep enough at 45° for the slab. The following week end we went to a lumber yard in Santa Cruz that had the TS-75 on hand. I have always been happy that I bought the TS-55 from you over the bigger model. I haven't ever wished I had the larger one. If memory serves a friend of yours in Washington bought the TS-75
  22. When I first was made aware of the track saw's existence, I thought of it as a "luxury" tool and when you think of the price it still is. Now after owning mine for 3 or 4 years, I have moved my thinking on the tool as a "game changer" in the shop. Especially in a small shop like mine.
  23. You look to be of to a good start. I have a dealer about an hour south who's prices are lower and product is better looking then my local guy. But it isn't worth it all the time depending on how much i need.
  24. Kids can do that to ya, grand kids are pretty good at doing it too.
