Shop vac for dust collection

I tried the same thing - small, weekend shop on a budget - and I've found that I shop vac (with the optional HEPA filter) works fairly well for sucking up dust and chips. I've used it connected directly to my home-made router table, bandsaw, and RO sander.

OT: disturbing email

Do you ever visit the card processor (assumed they are the one who issued the card and maintain your account.) Part of setting up the online access to my credit card information is my email. Same with my bank where I do all of my online banking.

TV

You don't need a card for "free to air" (BBC and others) you need a card for "free to view" (ITV1, Ch4 and five).

Doug Stowe - Welcome Back !

How about an update on your shop, the school programs and what books /articles you're working on? For those not familiar with Doug Stowe, he is a contributing editor to "Woodwork" magazine, one of the very few magazines worth reading - and has definitely surpassed FWW in my opinion.

Alternatively, if she wants to wear the trousers I am sure that a local shop will gladly supply a new fridge freezer in exchange for her credit card details, cheque or cash. And **** the planet.

Scraper holder vs. Cabinet scraper vs. Scraping plane

If you are adept at using and sharpening a card scraper, you will love a cabinet scraper. It is much more comfortable and I find it better for flattening a large area like a dining room table. Scraper.....the most misunderstood tool in the shop. Dave

After market car window tint

Check your state regulations or visit a window-tinting salon (is that what they call them?) for the straight dope. The window-tinting shop may very well have a device that can measure the degree of tint and compare it to the laws in your state.

DIY medicine

I visit quite a bit, and one of my former student has a large shop in {Boundary,Station} Road. So I popped into the Foredown Tower. Dead lucky because they'd just started a presentation and were willing to start it again!

Holiday woodworking

Damn, sounds about like my visit to the daughters house... Main difference is that the lugnut that lives with her looked at a table of bowls and vases and told me that I should make bird cages and sell them to the pet shop... *sigh* mac Please remove splinters before emailing
