      Perhaps a router and table and raised panel bits or a shaper with cutters.

      Layout for Using Dominos to Attach Tops with Tenons

      By TomInNC · Posted

      I would like to make some speaker stands like those below. I would like the column to be hollow to run speaker wire down to the base and out to the receiver. My plan is to just domino the column together to create what's basically a long box. I know I could just screw the base and top on, but that would be too easy, so I want to attach them with dominos. Aside from measuring very carefully, are there any tricks for laying out mortises for attaching bases and tops with dominos? Mortising the column is easy enough, but it is less clear how to best transfer the mortise locations to the top/base to properly align them. It seems like the issue is similar to using tenons to attach a chair seat to the legs, but I've never made a chair, so that isn't much help.

      Advice for equipment needed to make kitchen cabinet doors

      By Greg81 · Posted

      I plan to make kitchen cabinet doors and the widest width wood I'll be working with is 14 inches. So far I've determined that I'll need a jointer, a planer, a table saw and a drill press. Am I missing anything? Also, can any recommend a planer and a jointer? I'll be making a low volume of doors per year. Thank you

      Is this fair

      By Tom King · Posted

      I really liked these cheap pumps that Tractor Supply sells, but the reason I stopped using them was that no parts were available.  I never even looked at what the warranty was.  They were something like two for $26.   The reason I went to the Smith pumps was that I thought it was a family business.  I think I had even read that somewhere, but also parts were available on Amazon.  I just checked and a replacement pump is available there for 20 bucks.  I think I did have a pump fail with one of the cheap ones, but I think I used that exterior cleaner you see in the gallon container down on the right-don't ever buy any of that for anything. None of them really have many parts, so it shouldn't be a big deal for the company to keep some available.  Certainly if they are for sale on Amazon, replacement parts are available. I did always have trouble with some of those cheap ones because I think the seals and O-rings on those are not made from better quality materials like EPDM, Buna, Viton, and maybe other choices.  I was able to keep the cheap ones going sometimes with my box of Buna replacement O-rings. I don't have as many sprayers as these now because I've narrowed down the number of things I use for different things.  I certainly couldn't afford to have half this many B & G's.  I would expect great service from B&G, but you're probably buying that to start with.  I do have one here that belonged to my Dad, but I never use it for anything.  https://www.amazon.com/Professional-Pest-Control-Sprayer-gal/dp/B004GGNL82/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2JQ993HD1YM8X&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.b6L4E-0PIpEHg1go3Ku2EVeLpMGvFl76D6lmaEfNEnNvzmNMb5jaKNDEQV_ylmdRtFqZeHh2Jkklz9nCbVgOZZn-djXId0oI-ct7JOw59lFQQ0D4eepim5Ydo68z5ju3fQ8AaI8eckW2vqSmhejTLewN-NKGZbkUHiZXk0iiwBT_abiCzkfpb2t1biQEpV8qGyPgIoTtchlyZLX-_qjCzbfA_FbmR5GgWFh2W1-XRPIlq-ZNS2dO0V0ru8zgeH7BcwZyp9tjFxxOoV3tvSMgcMCw3TnPx7nzc-glY7HB0wI.te5cdppZBYpQJ-R2XetqTR27DNkfKO9TnyUcmkg-adk&dib_tag=se&keywords=b%26g+sprayer+1+gallon&qid=1714049067&sprefix=B%26G%2Caps%2C96&sr=8-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.c3015c4a-46bb-44b9-81a4-dc28e6d374b3 That rack that holds the wands up in the air does help to keep the tips clear.  I think they drain down some when I release the pressure in one when it goes back on the shelf.  On the other side of that shed is one of those cheap plastic utility sinks for servicing them.
