The 18 Gauge Brad Nailer Showdown: PC vs. HF vs. Bostich
vs. Senco and MORE!
The 18 gauge brad nailer is one of the most popular nailer sizes for
woodworkers... mainly because using one means that YOU HAVE ENOUGH CLAMPS AFTER ALL ;) It's also widely used as the goto for putting up trim. Since
just about every manufacturer under the sun makes one I researched to bring you the consensus of the woodworker on the street. Enjoy!

Lumber Salvage: The Top 10 Sources for Cheap, Free and
Recycled Wood
There is no such thing as free wood. There, I said it. If your dream of free
wood doesn't include YOUR LABOR and, potentially, NEW TOOLS then it will stay a dream. If you're ready to put in the footwork of research, emails,
phone calls, personal visits and 12-pack bribes then you might just be ready to face all the OTHER hard physical work involved in recycling, salvaging
and refurbishing this so called "free wood..." There... I hope I scared off the weenies ;)

| Quiz: Could Your Workshop Withstand a Zombie Attack?
|
|
Wait, is Halloween over already? Ok, well here's some spooky fun anyways,
because I'm sure you were curious how well you'd handle a zombie attack in your work shop ;)
Here's the scenario:
1) Zombies. Lots of 'em. For one weekend.
2) Your family and loved ones are away for the weekend so you don't have to worry about protecting them.
3) You hole up in your workshop (no matter if it's in your basement, garage, backyard or professional level building).

 Hi folks, please stop by and add your advice or experience to any articles that "speak to
you."
ToolCrib.com Got Digested! (Reader's
Digested that Is...) >> We're excited to have gotten mentioned in Readers Digest in a section related to finding great deals on power tools!
Karlos in "DIY Carbide Saw Blade Sharpening + 4 Blade Sharpening Services"
I to could not resist the desire to give this harbor freight tool a try. In doing framing work, I go through many blades in the old circ.
After reading a variety of posts on how to sharpen carbide, it does not seem that hard if you take your time and keep things straight.
I have a big collection of old blades to practice on and will post a reply after trying to prefect my sharpening skills.
Wish me luck.
David in "The New Delta Unisaw Roundup: Video + Pics + First Response from Woodworkers"
You're kidding right? Everybody wants a 1947 Unisaw because of the beefy cast iron and American build quality. So what does Delta do? They parade
this cheap imposter out and try to convince the public that it's worth $2000 -$3000? I'm sorry but I wasn't born yesterday. We won't be fooled into
thinking that this cheap looking substitute is anywhere near quality. Let Delta experiment with their own money...They've made enough off of
us!
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 ;)
