So. You've picked out the sawhorse (or workbench or picnic table or router
table) you want to build and now it's time to hit the lumber yard (you're building LOTS of sawhorses ;). How do you know how many board feet to get?
Like all things, it's simple but with some serious complexities the more you dig into it. We'll start simple, add some complexities to confuse you and
end with some links to calculators and other resources that will really muck things up ;)

On "Buyer Beware, A Harbor Freight Buying Guide: The Good Enough, The Bad and the Abysmal"
ray burge says:
My wife used to work at the dreaded HF. and I saw her end of the customer service nightmare. and her biggest complaint was that people would buy
a very low end power tool and expect it to last like a high end one. wich is fine if you buy the replacement plan..... but if you dont buy the plan on
the 33rd day the tool will die. thats just HF Karma. Then when HF wont replace it people get attitudes...
oh and by the way it was a sad day in my shop when my wife stopped working there she had a 20% discount on all items....
On "28 Ways to
Recycle and Reuse Sawdust and Woodchips"
Mr. Chainsaw says:
Great tips!
Every spring our county hires tree trimmers to trim back tree branches around the power and telephone lines.
I beg these men every chance I see them to dump their wood chips at my house. I use the shavings to keep the weeds down on my garden paths first I
lay down 5-6 layers of old newspaper and then top with the wood chips. My pathways stay weed free all summer!
On "Best Impact Drill/Driver?"
Patrick says:
I just bought the Milwaukee 18v Lithium Ion Impact. It came with a free compact 18v drill/driver, but since Ive had it i havent used it. The
Milwaukee impact is probably the best drill I have ever owned. Its power and torque beat out my DeWalt with ease. I would recommend this drill to
anyone!!!!!!!!!!!
On "Sawstop vs. Powermatic PM 2000 in the Professional Wood Shop"
Ian Hogg says:
We just hooked up two saw stop saws in our lab. A cabinet model and a contractor model. We chucked out two Delta saws...one a fully tricked out
Unisaw. Saw to saw there is just no comparison, the Saw Stop wins hands down. I have been teaching woodworking for 21 years in 2 countries, 9
different schools. That is a lot of different saws. The safety feature is just an incredible bonus!
Until next time I'll see you in the comments - stop by and
add your 2 cents. It really adds up here in the newsletter ;)
