Re: UPDATE: Rough Cut - Woodworking with Tommy Mac by Tommy MacDonald and Laurie Donnelly

The 2nd biggest affliction that a woodworker has? Buying wood working books! But, gee, the temptations! Well, it is a tough hobby and only the strong can survive.

P.S. The biggest affliction? Buying tools, of course!

Re: UPDATE: 2011 Fine Woodworking Archive DVD-ROM (1975 - 2011)

There are only a few magazines whose back issues would be worth keeping and one of those magazines is Fine Woodworking (and Fine Homebuilding for that matter). But there certainly is just a limit on how much room you can give up for magazines! And I have definitely reached my limit! The collection of all the past issues (at least all relative to right now) would be an awesome addition. Having it on the computer also means that I can take my laptop down to the shop and have full access there. My fingers are crossed!

Re: Make a cart for your Dust Deputy

Very nice and neat arrangement. I just finished building a vertical tower arrangement to combine my Dust Deputy with my ShopVac. Put 4 inexpensive caster wheels from Home Depot on the bottom of a small plywood platform to make it easy to move around. The DD sits on top of the platform and on top of that the ShopVac sits in a cradle arrangement which is held up by 4 'legs'. The ShopVac lifts off for regular use and the DD slips out easily for dumping.

I went vertical because I am very pressed for space in my shop and I needed to economize on floor space. Kind of nice having the ShopVac up high as it makes it easy to mash the on/off button. Everything works great and I will eventually add a few brackets, etc to hold hoses, adapters,etc.
