What DID a 2x4 Cost in 2019? - LumberJocks Woodworking Forum
Like everyone else, I'm trying to time the build of a new house around the cost of materials. I watch the commodity prices like a hawk, but was trying to remember what a 2×4 @ 8ft USED to cost pre pandemic. In the Midwest at Home Depot the current cost is $3.75 as of August, 2021. Anyone have...
Home Depot HomeDepot BucketHead wet / Dry Vac
Home Depot - HomeDepot BucketHead wet / Dry Vac (Rating: 5) I heard about this bucket vac a few weeks ago. I needed something really portable, and didn't want to make a huge investment. I purchased the vacuum at Homedepot for $21 plus a few more dollars for the bucket. I gave it 5 stars...
Menard's vs. Lowe's vs. Home Depot - LumberJocks Woodworking Forum
I took my first trip into a Menard's this past weekend and I was truly impressed with their lumber and tool selection. I only have Lowe's and Home Depot around me and by comparison, they're terrible. Menard's had actual Baltic birch plywood in 4×8 sheets in 1/4", 1/2", and 3/4". They also had...
drilling in REALLY tight space: 4 inches - LumberJocks Woodworking Forum

Consumer vs professional power tools - LumberJocks Woodworking Forum
I watch a TV program called "How it's Made" and notice manufacturing companies and car companies are using either Dewalt, Milwaukee or Makita tools in their assembly work. My question is: Are the tools used in factories the exact same tools as those being sold in the big box stores? There...

My Thoughts on the SawStop Professional Table Saw
SawStop - 3HP 10-inch Cabinet Saw with 36" T-Glide Fence (Rating: 4) I've been woodworking since my 8th grade wood shop class back in 1982, but I didn't purchase my own table saw until about 12 years ago. I bought a Rigid contractor saw from Home Depot and it served me well for many years...
What wood to use for French Cleat System? - LumberJocks Woodworking Forum
I'm planning to more or less cover one wall of my shop with french cleat strips. I like the flexibility that the system offers. Is there a type of wood I should or should not use? I've seen some people using 3/4 plywood, some using 3/4 pine, and some using maple. Pine strikes me as a softer...

Delta vs Sawstop - LumberJocks Woodworking Forum
I was bored, so was looking at cabinet saws that are way more expensive than I can justify spending - noticed something interesting. The Delta 36-L552 and Sawstop PCS are remarkably similar, and very close in price. Fence, table, motor, etc. - VERY similar. Pricing out the 3hp motor and 52"...
