I also work in apartment with plenty of neighbors around. I managed to make friends with most of them. At least I'm lucky that those close to us are not old and many have children. Still, they might do or say something behind my back... I work in a separate room that was supposed to be...

I have Record Power BS250 for 5 years or so. There are also other brands with the same look. Sometimes they have different table or different fence and some can be even two speed... Probably they all come from the same factory (from Asia?). It took some time to set it up correctly and to master...

It's a beast! Makita 10.8V version is HR166DZ and for 18V is DHR171Z, choose whatever batteries you have. I have 10.8V version and I'm very impressed by it. It weights only 2.0 Kg and has 1 J impact which is just perfect for my walls, where I drill mostly 8mm holes. Recently also helped a...

When I just started my journey into woodworking 6 years ago, for some reason I assumed that whatever channel I find it is going to teach me something good and right. And arguably, when I knew nothing anybody who is on youtube knew more than I did. However, this approach did mostly disservice to...

This looks like made in Russia or what? The brand name on them is Pion or in Russian ПИОН, it is a name of a flower!

That might give absolutely correct answer but so absolutely useless. I have a friend he is mathematician. Solving live problems as min-max problems leads to answers like alpine skiing is not is not effective fun activity - you spend more time waiting for lift and getting up! :D

On this video you can see how much of the blade was used in 8 years: https://youtu.be/bDyzlT-2HDY?t=7m7s Looks like 1 mm every year.

Not sure if I'm qualified to say something here as I'm beginner internet woodworker, as I taught by internet completely. Thankfully to all that buzz and the people around chip breaker, it didn't take long to see advantages of chip breaker. Not without turning to BU planes at first, but in a few...

I was in the similar position, learning from Internet and such. Even though it is 2015 now, I still was caught by the trap of bevel up planes and no chip breaker hype that was left after decade of blogs and videos left by amateurs, mostly. I'm getting to the bottom of it, but only after spending...
