    I've tried the orbit sander. I think it's just tough to sand off the amount of depth the planer is leaving with its passes...even with a 40 grit.

    The planer doesn't jump and the board doesn't move. It seems to be a smooth throughout but it just leaves all this edges. I'm going to try the router.

    I'm going to try this since I already have a router. Thanks!

    I'm trying to plane a board and I don't have access to a super wide, industrial planer so I'm trying to use my 3" wide, DeWalt power planer to get out all the humps. But every time I plane across the whole thing it makes these little streaks from the edge of the blade. Is this normal? Should I just get a belt sander to smooth them out or is there a particular planing pattern that I need to follow to help prevent these streaks? See attached file. (the wood is white oak).

    Yeah I see one of those on there that MIGHT fit. I'll see what I can do and then post it on here.
  8. Blake Barnes
    That's a good idea! I'll have to let you guys know what I do and post it on here.

    That's what I was thinking I might have to do; and just tape it or something. Nice name by the way haha.

    That doesn't look like it would fit. Herer's what I'm lookin at:

    I have a DEWALT Portable Hand Planer (D26676) and I can't seem to find a dust collection bag that fits the this tool. It's not just a regular circle so I can't just use some adapter that would fit it. Does anyone have a solution to this?
  12. Blake Barnes
    Yes. The top came from a coffee table that we didn't use anymore.

    I've been working on this kitchen island for the girlfriend and documented my progress (video link). I don't have all the measurements of every cut or the size of every bit/screw but thought it would be cool to share on here. It still needs a cabinet for the front. This project took me forever because I don't have a lot of free time to work on this and I live in an apartment complex with a small patio as a workspace. I do like taking on new projects, though, because that gives me an excuse to acquire some more tools! Anyways check out the video if you're bored with nothing else to do. Power Tools used: Milwaukee m18 drill driver - 2601 Milwaukee m18 impact - 2650 Milwaukee m12 drill driver - 2407 (bought this with the hackzall as a combo kit at Home Depot for $100!) Milwaukee m12 Hackzall - 2420 Milwaukee m12 Compact Vacuum - 0850 Milwaukee 5" Random Orbit Sander - 6021 Video Link: https://youtu.be/0Awu1rbmV9c

    Built my first workbench. Still making different modifications to it. Just installed a table saw.

    This guy has some interesting stuff on woodworking and builds some pretty crazy jigs. I'm sure some of you may have heard of him but here it is for anyone who hasn't. https://www.youtube.com/user/rusticman1973

    I came across this youtube channel when I was looking to buy a new drill. This guy literally takes the drills apart and examines all the parts. Not only that, he gauges the voltage output to see if it's as powerful as it is advertised. He also has a ton of other good videos. Usually machinery work and whatnot. Anyways, just thought this could be useful. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvgS71fU12MavFmY_0LGw3fDdKSO62Glw

    Thanks for the reply guys! Luckily it's not a huge expense.

    I'm kind of new to the "tool world" and BRAND NEW to the "living-with-your-lady world". What's more common - Metric or SAE? Or does it depend on what type of job you're doing? I'm looking to buy a Deep Socket Set, usually for driving lag screws and what-nots for woodworking projects, and a Socket Wrench Set, mostly for automotive.
