Once the weather warms (50-85 consistently) I will get some butterflies and plant some perennial milkweed: I will add some pictures as I get flowers and bu

In this post I will walk thru a unique DIY project to build an inexpensive combo table saw, router table and maybe a jigsaw to add to my very limited space workshop. Dust collection will use a shopvac with a small cyclone. There will be a gallery of photos, but there individual images and text will take you thru the project. The goal of this project is to use my used

Which of these two tools will work best to add woodcraft related design sketches for to my WordPress site.  Over time I will search for other tools, but these are the ones I am most familiar.  I will be using Visio 2016 Pro and Sketchup Make (2017).
