"I got 4 heavy duty locking casters from Menards for mine. 2 swivel and 2 straight. Works great. Can lock in place when I don't want it to move and easily unlock when I need to push it around."

Looks like I will have to get the scroll saw back into action. Was going to try to figure a way to do it with either my circular saw or the jig saw. I…"

"Hi Kenny
There are loads of places to find plans. One of my favorite sites to start looking is www.ana-white.com there are literally thousands of step by step plans there.
Also, you should never feel stupid asking for plans for any…"
Ronda McElroy replied to james wilhelm's discussion 'New plug cutter!!'
"Hi Jim.
Glad to see the plug cutter is working out for you! What method are you using to cut them loose?
I haven't gotten mine yet, but am expecting to have it soon."
Ronda McElroy replied to Matthew Hinton's discussion 'Ana White daybed build question'
"For step 4 I use a router with a 1/4" straight bit starting from the bottom edge where I want the bottom of the drawer bottom to sit. Do all of the drawer pieces at the same time to ensure that the placement on each groove is the same…"
Ronda McElroy replied to Matthew Hinton's discussion 'Ana White daybed build question'
"Hey Matthew.

A bit more explanation on what I would do (long winded - sorry)
Step 1: On the 2x4 frame: Use 2 1/2" pocket screws - set your base to the 1 1/2" setting.
Step 1.1: Pre-drill…"

Ronda McElroy replied to Tommy TBones's discussion 'Wood Thickness'

Ronda McElroy replied to Tim Thomasson's discussion 'Screws coming through'

I would say back them out, put some wood filler in the receiving hole and glue in the pocket holes and change to 2" screws. This will help maintain the strength and give…"
Ronda McElroy replied to Jayson England's discussion 'Sheet Goods'

My shop is really basic. I just use a circular saw and a line. Some times (if enough space) I will clamp a level to the ply and try to run the saw down that as an edge, only problem with this one is sometimes you miss…"

james wilhelm said… Hi Ronda , If you type in porter cable and the model # on the internet you may be able to get the instruction manual and down load it with a search !!! And if you decide to use the table saw , please be careful and take your time !! Also any information you get from JAY will be very good and easy to understand and if you have a question just ask , he will answer them , he is very good and has been doing wood working for a long time!! I will also try to answer any questions you have to the best of my ability !! Have a great day and be safe , JIM !!!
