Thanks to everyone for the info on noise reduction. I don't know when I will get to this particular project, but I can build it in my head for a while. Thanks. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University. E-Mail: d...@andrew.cmu.edu Tel:(412) 268-9081

[BlindHandyMan] wood working table recommendations please?

Hello, I am interested in finding a work table or bench with built in features such as clamps and maybe a good strait guide for making sure that pieces are square and so on? I make toy trucks, trains, cars, that sort of thing. Someone had suggested a black and Decker work bench, but I read some

How much do you want to spend? Kreg has an assembly table with T tracks and 90 degree corners and all but that is more for cabinet work. Making the toys you list I'm not sure I see the need to put out lots of money on a fancy table. Not to say there isn't a need, I just don't see it myself.

Hello, I am just putting out feelers to see what is possible. I have never really seen a work bench with the different clamps and such. I have two tables, one I just pile stuff on for now, and the other is a long table which holds all of my bench tools, like band saw, drill press, and sander. I

hi mat that is not quite what you need. although you may want one as no shop should be without one. that is known as a work mate I have used mine to yes set things on. also clamp a beltsander in upside down so I could use it stationary. I have clamped log slices in it to make clock faces. you are

That's the small Workmate, about half the size of the original. I think for what you are describing, you're going to need to make some specialized jigs for your specialty. You can always run a length of T track along a table and then you could fit toggle and hold down clamps in the track,

Thanks, I forgot to mention that for my train tracks, I have to glue long strips of wood together to make the rails. I have to clamp and/or duct tape those until they dry. I usually clamp long enough to get some tape on them. It's wasteful of tape and time consuming. I also have the wooden clamps

thanks, I do have a piece like you mention which I stick between the rails to keep them spaced properly. I look forward to all the ideas I can get too. I've just learned by doing mostly, and my methods can be annoying and I know there's got to be easier ways. Matt - Original Message -

I wonder if it was there's I saw; it was a great clamping square. It first allowed one to clamp 2 pieces of 3 inch board stock to it, allowing the 45 degree angle of first one then the other. It also allowed the gluing via he same clamping to framing. On Thu, 1 Jan 2009, Terry Klarich

first thoughts are that the house wasn't made with a load bearing wall there, it isn't necessary. You might top the walls with styrofoam, but ecologically that stuff isn' cool. but wouldn't the free floating single end of the internal wall studs make that wall a bit weak?You would put a rubber

in that way of thinking, latext paint is rubber. Numerous coats of latex on the drywall should do the trick. Don't want anything that will actually collect dust like rugs. On Sat, 3 Jan 2009, clifford wrote: Dear Dan: Sheetrock finished smooth will cause sound to reverberate within,

That sounds like a variation on the Black and Decker work mate. I have one of the early models. When set on the floor it's too short to do the kind of work you are doing. It would be too tall when set on a work bench. Somewhat related, I saw a neat work bench design on wasted spaces on the
