A professional plumber demonstrates the correct way to make copper pipe connections.

This nimble vehicle and light artillery piece performed with distinction in rugged terrain during WWII. They were cheap and quick-to-build back then, and these models retain those traits: you can build them from scrapwood in a weekend! Plan available in the WOOD Store. 

Hooking up your dust- and chip-making machines to a collector reduces your time spent cleaning, as well as—hopefully—the amount of fine dust that lingers in the air before eventually settling. We tested eight single-stage dust collectors priced from $325 to $850, including one unit with both bag and canister filter options. 

To improve safety and cut quality, workpieces should be well-supported as you feed them off a tablesaw. This fixture provides ample support, even for full sheets of plywood, without taking over your shop. Plan available in the WOOD Store.
