Post: RE: Stain or outdoor paint to protect plywood
Ok thanks. I was looking for a dark, redwood type color that wouldn't hide the grain too much. If I go with paint I might include black ad an option.

Post: RE: DeWalt 20V Options
I spoke with a rep at DeWalt today, was curious about the weight difference. She said the 991, the non-hammerdrill, was .3 lbs heavier than the 996 which has the hammer function. I asked to double ...

The Duo Fast CS5000 arrived today, I tried a few 3/8 staples into the pine I was working on, no issues as expected with a soft wood. I added a few folds of the burlap fabric and no problems. I went to...

I've had my Powershot for awhile, maybe 8 years but only for a few small projects. Here and there I would probably only run 1 strip of staples through it. I would say during the time I've owned it I h...

I guess the noise in the video doesn't do it much justice. The auger is at about 1000 RPM and the unit really howls. I have a new chain I can try but as far as the first use, should I soak the chain o...
