I have used wood from pallets and crates for years and not had any issues with the chem. I started with a dewalt planer and got years of great service from it. When it finally gave up the ghost 2 years ago I bought a Porter cable 12" at lowes for less than $300 figuring that would be fine for my needs. I have used it daily for those 2 years with very little problems. If I was to estimate how much wood I've run thru it would easily be over 100,000 linear ft. Most of the pallet wood I get is from a vinyl supply comp. and the boards are 12' long. every 2 weeks I pick up around 3-4 hundred boards and run them thru the planer after pulling the nails. I'm tough on my tools as far as working them hard, I don't give them much of a break!!! On the PC planer the blades cost $30 to replace vs $60 on the dewalt. I have resharpen my blades at least a dozen times. Most of my wood is pine but I do run Hardwoods as well thru the PC planer. There is one really nice feature with the dewalt in that it has a built in dust system that can be hooked up to a cyclonic collector. Hope this helps and wasn't to long winded. sully

Hey Roly and all. Been real busy workin to get ready for this years shows. Time is getting short so i'll be turning it up a couple notches to be ready lol. God bless all sully

Right one MLK sully

thanks all the sawdust and alcohol we knew about just trying to find a faster way to do it sully

Just wondering if Damprid could speed the drying of wood . Maybe build a wood box to store wood in with stickers between each board and then have damprid inside of box ? anyone ever try this ? Friend of mine wants to speed the drying time for turning bowls. Also what is the best way to prevent logs outside from splitting .Logs are 1-2' round and 2-3' long. Thanks all sully

they sell the rolls at Walmart in office supplies and harbor freight for less than $ 10.It's my newest friend in the shop to bundle finished products for storage till my shows get started. the rolls are 6" by 1000'. lasts a long time. sully

Edward, we did our last show this past weekend and i'm ready for a long winters nap ! 30 shows this year has kept me away from the saw more than i like. I'm going to take about a month off then get started building up my inventory again. Thank God for my shop heater or it would be April before i could. God bless ya'll sully

Clayton the fire was set up at Chimney Top and it raced down the mountain pushed by 75 mph winds. The area behind the convention ctr. took the worst, roaring fork rd, Cherokee Orchard rd. Baskins Creek Rd. ect. It went back to and crossed hwy 321 and almost made it to Dollywood in Pigeon Forge. I can't post the link but if you look up Chimney Top Fires 2 on facebook it has maps showing the area destroyed buy the fire. God Bless sully

Ya'll please pray for the people and the town of Gatlinburg, the fires there have been devastating and many lives have been lost. Many of the missing may never be found due to the intensity of the fire. At last count there are at least 7 dead and over 700 structures destroyed. The town will be rebuilt but it will never be the same. I have been there many times as i'm only an hour away but i'll never be able to stay at the motels or private cabins I did as they are gone. It's enough to make me cry. Worst part is it was arson that started the firestorm fanned by 75 mph winds. Please keep those affected by this disaster in your prayers and ask the Lord to give peace to the families that lost loved ones and resolve to those that must put their lives back together.Thank you and may God bless. sully Update : death toll as of 6:30 this morning has climbed to 11

Sorry , I'm still useing COLDHARDCASH.com sully

I do it all the time and it helps lots. Also if you use a miter saw much use a scrap peice of hardwood as a backer to make a cleaner cut on the back.mine is screwed to the fence from the back sully

cute , I'm waiting for when we have 3 that say Women, Mens, and ????? It's only a matter of time . I know it's not politicaly correct but I never have been politicaly correct or for that matter afraid to say the truth. sully

Prayers headed your way Larry. Keep the faith . Iv'e been cancer free for six years now after chemo, radiation and surgery from stage 3b esophageal cancer and 1t kidney cancer, it's hard but God can get both of you thru this. Put your trust in Him . I thank God for my wife and family who prayed and were there even when I didn't want them to be to help me thru it. GOD BLESS & KEEP YOU sully

Thanks all. I did have a great day, we had a local craft show we were selling at but family was with us all day and we had a profitable day. we finish up tomorrow and are on track to do about 500 for 3 three days. We have shows scheduled for the next 6 weekends so we'll be busy as usual ,Thank the Lord . God bless ya'll sully

I make a lot of sawdust also , I spread it on my flowerbeds like mulch to keep the weeds down. Works great !!!! sully

looks like my Skil brand saw sully

I use one and have not had any problems. He must have done something wrong or had something else in his pocket. BTW it does work and say what you want it beats smoking hands down !!!!!!!!!!! sully

I bought my Porter cable planer at lowes for around $250 and i love it. probably have run 5000 bf thru it in a couple of years. might be my most used tool in my shop sully

Google is a great place to start BUT some of the images are copyrighted and could be an issue if you post the pattern here. sully

I've had the same saw for 5 years with different issues. For the price it's a good saw. because it sounds like the motor is frozen or the linkage is frozen i'd take it back and get another skil. If you tear it down you may not be able to return it. maybe just take the cover off the left side and see what it's not doing sully

DWV stands for drain,waste,vent. It is used mainly for sewer and venting it's what i used. Sch 40 is pressure pipe and is thicker and more expensive. Ferguson is a good source or check other plumbing supply houses in your area. As mentioned static can be a problem so tape a copper wire to the outside of the pipe when you get the system built and ground it . also remember if you reduce from 6" to 4" or smaller the machine will not work to it's peak so have at least 2 - 4" open at the same time. Hope this helps sully

Prayers headed your way Larry. Trust in the Lord for healing and he can work miracles. In Jesus name we pray AMEN sully

Hey Chris good to hear from ya. Life can be tough but trust in the Lord to get you thru it. Been there done that. God Bless sully
