I usually use a crosscut sled for the crosscut miters. It is kind of old so that could be the issue.

I'm relatively new to woodworking and carpentry so this may be an asinine question but whenever I try to make any kind of miter cut (anything that is not 90 deg) my cuts tend to have a slight curve to them. I bought the blades (Dewalt brand) brand new so I would assume they'd be good, right...

This is actually issue #1 for me....I don't have room for anything more than what I already have which is a huge bummer. Eventually we'd like to get a shed of some sort where I can store a bunch of stuff and hopefully have the tools in the garage but until then I guess I'm stuck with what I...

I am a beginner woodworker and am really enjoying building things with my own hands but as we all know, having the right tool for the right job makes a world of difference and I believe that the one tool I am missing the most is a table saw and/or a planer. I was wondering what I should look...

Ahh yes....the good 'ole pigtail. Thanks for the advice, I totally forgot about the pigtail.

I recently open up the existing light/fan switch that was in my bathroom to replace it with a newer switch. I put the wires onto the new switch exactly how they came off of the old switch and when i turned on the switch the breaker would trip. Turned out there were two wires joined together...

Here are the thresholds I'm dealing with with the gap issue. I haven't yet decided which way I wanna go to fill in the gap but I wanted to let people see even though you can't see the issue at hand. I was able to get this threshold down without a shim and some liquid nails. Turned out okay.

This sounds like it would be the easiest solution...I may try this out and see if it works. The last problem I truly have is getting the thresholds down and staying in place. The height between the tile and the subfloor is tall enough that the 'track' part of the moulding might not reach to...

Hi nealtw, can you be more specific as to how this would work?? I need to fill about a 1/8" gap between the hardwood and the transition. This tape doesn't seem like it would be thick enough to fill that gap.

Thanks bud....I will see if this is a possible solution when I get home.

Thanks bud....here is a quick depiction of what I am dealing with. I tried my best but if this doesn't help I will take photos when I get home from work. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have a situation in my home where we had wood flooring next to newly installed tile. The flooring is pretty uneven since we used DITRA backer to lay the tile down where the old tile just had chicken wire and mortar. I purchased a reducer moulding but even that doesn't make up for the gap...
