Nail Gun accident!

"Hope it's also your last bout with self-impalement, too, Justin. Nail guns are right up there with table saws in not forgiving complacency. I've had three such incidents in 35 years. As a teenager, I managed to nail my shoe to the floor…"

Hugh Clare replied to Jason Watkins's discussion 'anyone making money with your woodworking?'

"The only thing I would add to what's already been said is to look into etsy.com for your smaller items. It appears to be reasonably priced and would save you a lot of marketing headaches. I plan on putting a few of my turned pens on there."

"The 10-350 has some really cool features not found on the 10-345. I especially like the blade tension lockout. The drawback I see to it is I think the wheel diameter is too small for the resaw capacity. Bigger blades require more…"

"Mark, It sports a standard NEMA 250V/20A plug (spades are horizontal instead of vertical. I built an adapter for mine to plug into a 30A twist outlet."

"John, You can make your desired joint by setting the stop collar slightly closer to the drill bit tip as Ken suggested. My experience has been that the pocket holes on the inside tends to split the ends of the receiving board even when you you the…"

"To square the table to the quill, you can chuck a drill bit or any other known straight rod. My drill press came with a rod to use for squaring. The column-to-quill orientation is most likely fixed. I can post pictures if I'm not…"
