    WTB: Old PC

    I got the one I have to work. For whatever reason it installed Windows no problem after I installed Linux. Thanks though!

    WTB: Old PC

    WTF. Spent 5 hours on this and got nowhere with Windows. I've formatted everything, tried reinstalling XP on CD and USB...nothing. I then installed ubuntu. After restarting it asked what I wanted to boot to, Windows or ubuntu. Ok i'll try it out....it reinstalled Windows no problem. Thanks for the offers everyone!

    WTB: Old PC

    It does according to google. I may not need it. I must have a bad XP install file. I just tried creating a USB for ubuntu on LinuxLive and loading just fine so far. Apparently I just need a good copy of windows XP. Will report back..

    WTB: Old PC

    I need a cheap old PC with a parallel port on it. Windows XP preferably. Anyone have anything laying around? I have one but I tried the CTRL+F11 thing and I can't get it to boot up after that. I've spent too much time on it already. Thanks!

    TV Wall Mounts

    Are these like what you were looking at?http://www.monoprice.com/mobile/catalog/productsearch/?keyword=corner%20tv%20mount%20bracket&searchType=Global We could probably weld something up. Just a big 90 degree elbow made from angle iron to bolt to corner. Some tubing sticking out from middle with horizontal pieces to hang tv from

    I finally found a sweet deal on a torch setup last weekend. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160311/f58b4fdd05b684e7ae2997e6ae00f17a.jpg I made a branding iron for the grill for first project. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160311/2cbeebcf5d86aceaa817ac0d44da19ec.jpg The handle was turned out of Bocote. The metal was cleaned up, it looks dirty from all dat steak juice

    +1. Is the back left open? That will get loaded with sawdust otherwise. Pretty cool though, I've been looking for a motor to do the same thing.

    Truth. PH jigs are great for face frames but make sure you have that bish clamped well. The self-tapping screws like to move whatever you're driving them into. The Domino really is a game changer from everything I have heard/read but damn it is not cheap. I'm sure it doesn't take much to make it worth every penny but that's a stiff investment. And for anyone considering Festool, do it this month. Prices go up April 1st.

    I really reallllyyy wish a Domino was in the budget right now. Every time I almost pull the trigger I think of how many other tools I want/ can get for the price. One day Also, HF sells a pocket hole jig. I think it's around $55-60 on sale. I used over 300 PH screws on my garage cabinets and several hundred just on random cheap tool cabinets. It has worked flawlessly. My dad has the Kreg one and mine works just as well for anything I have done. The bit that comes with the HF jig wore out after a few hundred holes through 3/4 sheathing. I spent $10 on a Kreg bit and was back to business. I'm still using the same one several hundred later.

    What do you mean the Wixey won't work because of your floor? It's not just a digital protractor, it swings open like the one you linked. As far as table saws go, I would go with 220v with whatever you decide on. As mentioned above, how much space do you have? I would (and did) find an older Delta or Powermatic cabinet saw if you have the room. I haven't looked at many of the new hybrid saws but go with the forum reviews, not Lowes, HD, etc. Lumberjocks is great. The Wood Whisperer also has some good reviews, projects, etc. Also, Anderson's has their 20% off coupon this week. They sell Diablo blades

    Propane. I needed to bend some horseshoes and don't have a torch yet. I'm trying to find a good deal on one http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160228/fae388be715aff61f028be4ebf6aeec0.jpg

    HF Compressors

    Here is a coupon for $149.99 if you want that one http://www.hfqpdb.com/coupons/5_ITEM_2.5_HP__21_GALLON_125_PSI_VERTICAL_AIR_COMPRESSOR_1455491050.4024.jpeg Check out hfqpdb.com for any current HF coupons. As said above be sure to check the CFM for any tools you would be using. Most tools always seem to either be fine with a 3 gallon compressor or need a 60 gallon to keep up.

    P.S. anyone need anything welded for cheap? Like bring me a beer for consumables cheap? I have a few bigger projects in mind but don't have the time currently. I got the welder out the other day to repair a boat and now I have the itch to weld something. I'm still getting my chops back after a 7 year hiatus but hey, it's basically free

    Correct. Woodwerks is on Claycraft. Woodcraft is on Bethel by Microcenter

    Woodwerks also has a Rockler store in the back corner. Anything you see on rockler.com is same price in store
