    Crotch blow out....

    I USED to be in the same boat. Their products seem to have been cheapened recently, and their warranty is now garbage as well. Had a front button on a pair pop loose - figured they were Duluth so I would just go in and have them fixed or exchanged. Nope...14 months old, only a 12 month warranty...

    That's a pretty cool system - hadn't seen that before. Could replace quite a few jobs, but would probably make them all take a bit more time than the conventional way. I guess it all depends on how much woodworking you do - if you do a bunch, a bunch of tools is probably the route you go, but if...

    I stumbled across a great deal on a Festool track saw and I still would never get rid of my table saw. You can do a much nicer job on cuts with a table saw vs a track saw. I just built two large cabinets for a friend and used the track saw to rough cut the panels then finished them to size with...

    I made these almost 10 years ago....walnut plywood with hardwood maple frame. Dovetailed just to prove to myself that I could do it.

    Agreed. I think I am going to have to request a meeting and generate a list of comps to challenge their assessment. Running out of time, they don’t give you much time between sending the assessment letter and setting a deadline for getting a meeting set up. Just annoying I need to jump through...

    I don’t disagree. I’ve just gotten pretty used to the land portion of the assessment being very reasonable, even unrealistically low (similar to farm land). Trying to understand how others’ have been hit with land assessments to see how I might go about challenging things. I am admittedly...

    Been here 6 years…always been residential since I have owned it. That would make a ton of sense…unfortunately that’s not the circumstance.

    Another Warren Co. resident here…my land value assessment went from 82k to 245k from 2024 to 2025. 15 acres. Any ideas where they are pulling this from? I need to decide if I am going to challenge it.

    Curley's is my go to as well! We use them a ton for snack sticks, brats, breakfast sausage and more.

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    My two cents...the bigger the wheel, the better. The smaller wheels tend pull on the meat a lot more than the larger wheels - especially if the meat starts to get warm. If you are going to go small, make sure the meat is as cold as possible. I made this bacon last winter, turned off the smoke...

    They are my go-to place to buy woodworking lumber; they have great plywood too! Just know how you want it worked up: thickness, surface treatment, planed thickness(if you want), SLR. My go-to order is 4/4 red oak (choose the grade you want), S2S, planed to 3/4" (I don't own a planer yet), with a...

    I can't help much with spraying thicker finishes with the HVLP - I have always used my airless for that kind of work. I have made quite a few speakers in my day, and have had great luck rolling on Duratex with a smooth foam roller - it gives a tiny bit of texture, but you can get a pretty...

    Yes, you definitely have to account for that. By the time it floats in the air, it dries before landing on things, but it still leaves a layer of "dust" on things. In my Johnston house, I made a poly "tent" in the garage, but now that I have a dedicated shop, I just spray in the open. I have...

    Great question. I have a 30 gallon, 6 HP Craftsman compressor that will go up to 150 psi. I fill that tank at 150 PSI, and then regulate down to what the HVLP manual says to run at (maybe 35 psi). I can spray for a couple minutes before I need to stop to let the compressor catch back up. This...
