Rockler.com Deal Of The Day

by Chris     February 10, 2009    
I was checking out Rockler.com the other day, I cant remember what for, but I noticed they are now offering a Deal Of The Day. With the economy the way it is now, it is always great to get a deal when you can find it. Just the other day they had a Bosch Jig Saw on sale, and today they are offering an Ellipse/Circle cutting jig for $49.99 - Regular $89.99. This is an Internet only deal - not available in stores.

Run Your Own Backyard Sawmill

by Chris     February 05, 2009    

Got an extra $3700 lying around the house and a few extra trees. That is all you need to get started in milling your own lumber. The LT10G7 from Wood-Mizer is a compact manual push sawmill that is ideal for the hobby woodworker that wants to cut out the middle man (pun intended). Powered by a 7 HP gas engine, the LT10GT can cut up to 100 board feet an hour at a maximum log diameter of 24" and 11' long. If 11' isn't long enough for you, you can purchase additional 7' bed extensions to your hearts content. Got some really big trees? You can always step up to a larger trailer mounted version, and take your milling business on the road.

Quick Tip: Homemade Pegboard Screwdriver Holder

Quick Tip: Homemade Pegboard Screwdriver Holder
Category: Editorial

In an effort to better organize my home workspace I decided that I needed to get some of my non-work tools out of boxes/bags and into places where I could more easily access the ones I use most. My solution was simple, and probably the same solution that many of you use, pegboard. A full sheet of pegboard is cheap, and with the right hooks and attachments, you can organize a good portion of your tools. Next all I needed was pegboard hooks. Lucky for me, my Father had a box full of them that he let me dig...

The Ultimate Job Site Trailer

The Ultimate Job Site Trailer
Category: Cool Tools

Do you need a trailer that you can just pull up to the job site and get right to work without having to unload all your tools. The problem with most trailers is the limited access to your tools. If you need something in the back, you have to unload everything in front of it.

Festool MFT Modded Into Awesome Jobsite Cart

I have always looked at the Festool MFT (Multi-Function Table) as great little work table, but not practical for jobsite use. I just never liked the idea of having to carry it around on the jobsite along with all of my other tools. But Timothy Wilmots' modified MFTC (Multi-Function Tool Cart) looks like an ideal way to transport both the MFT and your tools.
