TOTALLY OUTRAGED ABOUT THE NEW BUDGET PASSED BY CONGRESS

I am totally outraged and this has nothing to do with woodworking but our congress (let me rephrase that the congress that looks out for the ulta-rich and big business) just passed a budget that repeals some of the restrictions on banks the same banks that caused the economic  melt down and the same banks that have foreclosed on millions of Americans homes the same Americans that had too bale them out. We have lost our democracy because our congress only cares about getting re-elected and of course the large banks that they are beholding to.

16,000 PLANS FOR WOODWORKING PLANS ALL IN ONE PACKAGE

16,000 plans for woodworking projects put together by Ted McGrath of Ted's woodworking.  A review with the DIY woodworker in mind.

By: M. Fleury.

I have been doing woodworking for a number of years, the consummate DIYer my wife calls me.  I was on the Internet the other day looking for some different woodworking plans, when I came across a website that really caught my attention Ted's woodworking.com.  Following are what I think are the pros and cons.

Pros :

·                     16,000 plans, I did not look at everyone to be sure. But one of the most impressive things I found is that there were woodworking plans for beginners and every other ability level from a simple birdhouse to a complicated piece of furniture, and everything in between.  There is something here for every skill level.

·                     Being an engineer in a past life before I retired i tend to have a penchant for detail.  That's another reason I like Ted's woodworking.  I found his woodworking plans to be very detailed with a complete materials and dimensions lists for each project, detailed instruction from the start of your project until completion with an explanation with the woodworking tools required for the project.

·                     Another thing I found very helpful, once you become a member, there is a large library of how-to videos to help assist you when working with these plans.

·                All of these woodworking plans are easily downloadable to your computer and organized by category.  For example, chairs birdhouses sheds and more they're always right there on your computer at the end of your fingertips.  Anytime you want new project, just sign in.

·               One of the best things about teds woodworking plans is the full 60 day money back guarantee.  If you're not completely satisfied, send it back for a full refund.  But i don't think you will.

Cons

·               One of the few drawbacks is just the very size and number of woodworking plans   available to choose from.  You know the old saying, too little time to many plans

THE ABSOLUTE BEST TOOL EVER

Have you ever tried to cut the bottom of a door casing to slide in a piece of tile or wooden flooring without removing the casing.The Porter-Cable Oscillating Multi-Tool makes this not just possible, but quick and simple and extremely accurate.  Ever tried to remove grout from between tiles without breaking the tile this tool does it with ease.  Cut in electric boxes without damaging the drywall, and scraping paint and caulk is no longer a sure.  This is truly a wonderful tool.

   The PLC120MTC is cordless and only weighs 2.2 pounds it is designed with an air ergonomic handle making this tool not only comfortable to use but extremely portable as well.  One great feature of this multi-tool that sets it apart from all other multi-tool's on the market is a system for changing the different accessories, it is a tool free system (no more Allen wrenches) you just have to press a lever to change an accessory, it takes less than five seconds to change from one accessory to another, simple and quick.

    It comes with a high torque choose one 12 V motor that delivers between 7500-15,000 OPM for years a problem free operation.  The built-in LED light makes working in dark corners a breeze.

    The Porter Cable Lithium Oscillating Multi-Tool comes with a number of accessories.  Included are two 12 V lithium batteries and charger , a great feature about the charger is that it delivers a complete charge in only 30 minutes, so you never run out of power.  It comes with two carrying cases is one for the multi-tool and batteries and one for all the accessories that come with this tool.

     The accessories include a hook and loop sanding pad and 12 pieces of sandpaper six are for wood and six are for paint.  It has three 1 1/2" x 1 5/8" and one 3/8" x 1 5/8" plunge blades, some are for wood and some are for metal.  There are flexible as well as rigid scraper blades and a grout removal blade.  It also comes with a rasp for sharpening tools and removing rust.

     This is most definitely one of the best tools that I own and one of the most use.  I highly recommend the PLC120MTC to both the DIYer and the professional.

THE BEST WOODWORKING IDEA IS TO WORK SAFELY:BANDSAW SAFETY RULES

Band-saw safety rules

Band-saws like all other equipment in our woodworking shops can be used safely if we follow all the proper procedures and safety rules. There are the basics of course always wear your safety glasses,no jewelery rings or chains that could be caught in the blade,and of course never use your band-saw under the influence of drugs or alcohol.Now to the specifics pertaining to band-saws.
Always make sure the band-saw is unplugged before making any adjustments.
*check the blade for cracks or splits and if any are found replace the blade
*make sure the blade is the proper width for the job you are doing
*check the thickness of the wood to be cut and set the upper blade guide 1/4" or less above the cutting material

Once all adjustments and checks are made you are ready to get started
* clear your workspace to avoid any unexpected slips or falls. It's important to keep well-balanced when using this machine
* check your material for any cracks, knots such as nails or staples that could damage or break the blade
* take the time to plan your work so there is a maximum foreword feed and a minimum of backing out. And when backing out is necessary turn the band-saw off and let come to a complete stop otherwise you could pull the blade off of the wheels
*cut flat stock when ever possible if cutting round stock use approved holding devices
* hold wood on the band-saw table not pop off the table and feed material into the blade at a moderate but steady rate
* keep fingers out of the path of the blade
* always get help with longer pieces of material that are hard to handle
* when the band-saw is in operation. Always listened for anything unusual, such as, a clicking sound which could indicate a crack blade
* keep table clear of scraps, but never remove scraps before blade stops,even still use push sticks or brush whenever possible
*it's always best to stand on the right side of the band-saw whenever possible because eventually a blade will break when you are using it a safer position. When this happens immediately step away from the saw and shut off the power
* when work is complete, shut off the band-saw and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop
IF YOU FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE RULES RULES YOUR WORK ON THE BAND-SAW WILL BE NOT ONLY SAFE BUT SATISFYING. 

KEEP IN MIND ITS ALWAYS BEST TO GET THE BEST BAND-SAW YOU CAN AFFORD BECAUSE IN THE LONG RUN IT IS TO YOUR BENEFIT .TO SEE A GREAT VARIETY I SUGGEST YOU VISIT ROCKLER.COM

CHOOSING A PROPER OUTDOOR STORAGE SHED PLAN

Our landscaping is completed for the season and it looks great, except for all

the garden tools and equipment that are laying around. Obviously there is a need

for a storage area. A STORAGE SHED would be the perfect answer. The question is

how do you go about this? No doubt you are going to need a storage shed plan.

First you will need to determine which type of plan you require. This you can

only be determined by doing your research as to what your requirements are

regarding the shed. 
You know you want to store all of your garden items. You most likely know what

items you have now and what size storage area it would take. But consider any

future garden purchases you may make in the future. For example are you thinking

of purchasing a new riding lawn mower, or a snow blower? These are items you may

need to store and your new garden shed may become their home., but only if its

big enough.

Then where are you going to put the shed? This will partly depend on what area

you have available, plus what style you are thinking of going with. Lets say you

have two choices of location. One is tucked away in the back of the garden

almost out of site, and the other one is at the edge of the flower bed. The one

tucked away will be more difficult to get at. They both will accommodate the size

of the shed you have in mind. Here’s where your decision of style comes in. If

you use the tucked away area, your style can be pretty basic because its not

going to interfere with your landscaping. On the other hand if you choose the

more open space,you are going to want a fancier style that will complement your

garden.  You will have to keep this in mind when you pick your shed plans.

You will need to have at least a rough budget in mind. When you go to get your

storage shed plans you may have the option of choosing your plans according to

what materials you want to use. Different materials have different price ranges.

For example if the basic plan falls well within your budget then perhaps a more

deluxe version will be an option for you. 

Be practical when choosing your plan. You are probably going to be surprised as

to just how much you are going to have to choose from. If you aren't careful and

stick to your own plans you could get carried away quite easily. Most often the

plans will give you a picture of the finished projects. You’ll see several that

you really like. Some of them look like little cottages. Now look at them

realistically, they have to meet all the needs that you have identified. Pick

out two or three that you really like and see if they answer these questions.

1. Are they the size that you need?
2. Will it fit in with the area you have chosen?
3. If it requires a building permit will it meet the criteria?
4. Is it simple and easy to understand for the novice?
5. Does it give a complete list of materials, and will these materials be readily

available in your area?  

If you have gotten all the right answers, then you

should take a few minutes and check out myshedplans.

BUILDING YOUR FIRST WOODWORKING PROJECT

How To Get Started Building Your First Woodwork Project


A lot of things were different when your grandparents were young. Woodworking was very popular back then and most men had the skills to build something with their own hands. Almost everyone had their own woodworking projects which they worked with whenever they had some time to spare.

Things look a lot different today. Few people can handle their own woodworking projects and most people have to call in a professional if they would like to have some nice wooden furniture for the home. Furniture made of wood is stylish and classic and loved by most people but it would definitely be a lot easier if everyone could create their own furniture.

Woodworking is easier today

It all depends on how much money you can spare though and you should always stick to your budget since woodworking is supposed to be fun, not supposed to ruin you. So i recommend a visit to rockler.com

Internet is great since you will be able to buy all the tools you might need there. The prices are usually much lower than in the stores you will be able to find if you're out shopping on the street. Make a list of all the tools you will need for your woodworking project and order them from the best e-shop you can find. Remember to compare prices before you order anything since some web shops are a lot cheaper than other ones.

It can be difficult for a beginner to know exactly what tools you will need to start with but you will be able to find guidance if you read online articles. The first thing you should buy is a great saw. Actually you will need several saws since there are various types, needed for various moments. You will also need a good jig.

The bonuses you get with this product are great.  You get FREE boat designing software, a book on boat construction tips and the boat-builders handbook which is huge in and of itself.

- Full Color Pictures

I appreciated the amount of full color pictures and diagrams that are included in the manuals. I’m a very visual person, so it is easier for me to follow a picture or diagram instead of reading paragraphs.

The Cons:

- It takes a while to download

Due to the huge amount of content available, there is about 900 megabytes to download. This may take a while if you have a slow connection. However you can opt for the DVD edition in the members area so that solves the issue if you're on a slow network

SHED KITS VERSES BUILDING FROM SCRATCH

Using shed kits Instead Of Building a Shed From Scratch
If you are planning on building a storage shed, make sure you do some homework first. If you are a carpenter or experienced handyman you have the advantage over the novice, in a few ways. You will be able to determine what would be best for you, either using a shed kit or building from scratch. With your experience your have more options based on your knowledge.
You novice builders have the same options, but it’s a matter of what would be the best for you. It really would be worth your while to check out the wide range of selections that are available.  I know, you really wanted to build this from scratch, and maybe feel like you’re cheating if you use a kit. On the contrary, you are making a wise decision, and besides someone has to still put it together, plus you can customize it. It’s that overall finished look that a person takes pride in, not in how many pieces of wood they had to cut.
These prefab storage units give you many options and have lots of advantages. First of all, you can have a choice of materials such as wood, vinyl or metal. If you were to build the shed from scratch, you probably would only be able to use wood, if you didn’t have any knowledge or tools to work with vinyl or metal. With some shed kits because of the way they are constructed you don’t need to worry to much about insulating, because of the way they are constructed. So that eliminates your problem of having to work with insulations.
If you purchase one of the self locking units, then you don’t have to be concerned about installing rafters, which is great, because it also gives you more usable space on the inside. You never have to worry about warping provided you have put it together properly.
Remember I said that you could accessorize it? In other words add your own creativity to it. For example, you can plan where you want the windows to be. You could even choose to put in skylights which not only is practical ,it modernizes the décor as well. What you want to do, and with what accessories are available to you, depends on the style of shed you are choosing, plus the material. If you are accessorizing, it is usually an added expense.
You will be pleased with how simple it is to erect one of these sheds when you buy the package. There are so many advantages to it. For example.
-All the material comes with it, There’s no running around trying to find everything you need
-You are not restricted to style because of your limited building knowledge
-Your choice of material allows you to choose something that will blend in and enhance your home and property
-They are sturdy, durable and a real bonus is they are maintenance free
-If your needs grow, and you need more storage space then you can either add an addition to the existing one, or purchase another one the same.
-There are no hidden costs. Everything you need is in the package and paid for at the time of purchase., so you know what its going to cost you.
Although remember if you don’t buy one that comes with a base, you will incur extra costs with that, plus don’t forget about the accessories.

How To Build A Shed In 10 Steps - Outdoor Storage Shed

So you need a storage shed to keep your outdoor items properly protected. You have shopped around to see what’s available, but you just can’t find one that suits your needs. Well, that’s no problem. You can build one yourself ,even if you’re not a carpenter. All that is required is ,for you to follow some quick and easy step by step plans, and you will have it built in no time.

Step One
 Is to determine where you want to build it. You need to have a designated area planned out before you begin. What space you have available will determine the maximum size you can build it.

Step two
 Once you know your exact size it’s a good idea to rough sketch what you want. There are many home improvement stores that you can take your sketch to. They will draft up your storage shed  plans for you, according to the specs you provide them with. They will also supply you with a list of materials that you will require. So now you have your plans. In addition they will provide you with a guide on how to perform each step.

Step Three
Purchase the materials you will need as outlined in your plan. it’s a good idea to have everything at hand so you don’t have to keep running out for supplies once you start construction.

Step Four
 Now you are ready to start. Level your ground and prepare to lay the foundation. You would have already decided whether you are going to have a wood plank floor or concrete slab type.

Step Five
 Next comes the side walls. Put your materials aside that you are going to use for this. It is better to construct the walls on the ground then lift them into position once they are together. Just follow your guide for the how to instructions.

Step Six
Now its time to start the roof. You will need to build your trusses. So construct one and then use it as a template for the rest. Once again  follow your guide on how to build the trusses.

Step Seven
Your storage shed should now be taking on some shape. Its time to build the end walls. How you do this will depend on what you have chosen in your plans. Be sure to stay with your original plans.

Step Eight
Now you are getting down to the final steps. The trim is just as important as the rest of your structure. Its what gives it that finished look so don’t scrimp here.

Step Nine
Your last two steps are applying the shingles for the roof then treating the wood. The wood must have some type of protective coating on it to protect it from the elements and rotting. This can be varnish, stains or paints whatever is your preference.

Step Ten
You’re done! All that’s left is to sit back and admire your completed storage shed. If you hadn’t built it yourself you would think it was a professional store bought model

If its restricted to garden outdoor items, you will most likely be adding to your collection over the next few years, so you don’t want to have to build a shed all over again.
3.Where are you going to put it?
You need to determine when is the best place for it. It has to be some place accessible, without walking through your flowerbeds. Probably tucked away so it doesn’t interfere with your landscaping. Again think of the future, you don’t want to have to move it.
Now is the area you have allotted for it and the size of the shed you want compatible? If not then there has to be a compromise, either in the space or the size.
