Post: RE: Miter Gauge Compare
I had not heard of either the Goingmake or the Hongdui. I looked up the Goingmake unit and it does look like a very good buy. I'm not in the market for one, but that one seems worth considering.

Not sure of the Long Ranger 2 has swiutch settings, the one I had (LR 1) did not. You could make your own remotes using a contactor, they in turn use those simple $10 lamp remotes to power the DC on/o...

Years ago I had a Craftsman sanding blasting setup. Bought in the early 80s when I bought my compressor. This one had  a steel nozzle and I used it several times. The steel nozzles wear quickly with t...

My suggestion is to stick with the good stuff, and here's what might save you some money (with a little driving). Go to Frank Miller lumber in Union City IN (right on the Ohio border) and set your sel...

Post: RE: adhesive for outdoor firring strips
I'm betting the adhesive problem is due to the moisture in the treated wood. I'm not sure there is an adhesive I would trust with the wet wood, it needs to be dry.

As a couple of folks suggested, the dutchman would be my approach. It's not  prefect but far better than any filler attempt I've ever made.

It's been interesting to follow this, I wouldn't have thought of a rubbed wire as being the problem. Glad you got it fixed.

Mark, I'm just curious about what your plan is? Has any of this made you re-think your approach? I'm not pimping one way or another...just curious.

John hit it, a whole house system that costs $20K is likely plated in gold. Ours is 7 years old and was $6K back then. That was for everything, the genny, transfer switch and installation.
