Shop Tips in Latest FWW

I was reading the Shop Tips (or whatever they call it) and stopped on the one that suggested using an electric sander to sharpen/hone jointer knives in place. I thought to myself that you'd have to be pretty good at getting the angle correct and I'd probably screw that up.

Re: Computers in the Shop

I would recommend looking at the via mini-itx boards. You can get one that will run fanless, though not fast enough to do CAD stuff, going fanless you have the ability to not use the pc as a dust collector :)

Plans for 8' shop cabinets

I want to line one wall in my shop (approximately 30' long) with a variety of cabinets. I do not like the kitchen-like layout with a 3' high cabinet sitting on the floor with a countertop, a space in between, and a 3' high cabinet hanging from the wall above.

Cleaning/protecting concrete shop floor

Hi all, After a couple of years of woodworking the concrete floor in my shop area looks pretty mucked up. Spilled glue spots, finishing mess, etc. Is there a good way to clean it besides renting a power sander?

Keeping warm in the shop

Well, I know my shop can't be as cold as some of yours (I live in Northern California), but I really find that I avoid doing anything during the "hard" winter months here - Dec - March. So I like to change that.

Paper bag for shop vac

I recently discovered that ShopVac has paper bags available for their 5 gallon vac (as well as other sizes). The bags can be used in unison with the hepa filter. You can vacuum sheetrock dust and not clog the hepa filter. The paper bag catches the major dust with a small amount getting to the ...
