Re: How to Install Butt Hinges

Depending on the project, I do use stamped hinges occasionally.
Very good article.
I'm surprised there is no photo of the finished job.

Re: Poll: What accessories, jigs, and shop gear are on your holiday wish list?

The most important thing for me is more time!!! I guess I need a clock that runs backwards. I always seem to run out of time in the shop. Go out to the shop,,zzzziiiippp, 3 hrs have gone by.

Re: Poll: The Next FWW Tool Test

Hi,
I have three of most tools that go from good-better-best. I purchased them over many years and as one either became caput or my ability to purchase a better quality tool I purchased another. I would like more tech info about repairing tools.
The comment about building your own equipment struck a chord with me as I have a 5HP compressor that I made from parts and feel it outperforms most others available in stores at about double what I paid. Why not have your tech staff build a compressor that would be more woodworking specific. Perhaps your tech staff could build a dust and chip collection system from scratch rather than just comparing store bought systems. Even recommendations for adapting store bought systems to integrate into an overall shop collection system.
