I need a good table saw. No i don't want to go to e-bay, a pawn shop, or Austrailia. Anyone got one laying around? I'll take a compound miter saw too. I'll pay, just can't afford new stuff.

I am beginning to dabble in pyrography (wood burning). I was wondering if anyone knows what type of finish I can put on the plates when they are done. I need to use something that is nontoxic for eating off of but also will protect the plate and the design for the long run. I appreciate any help with this. Thank you in advance.

What is the best way to texture drywall. I do not have a sprayer. I want it kind of to look like stucco or something to that nature. Not a smooth wall, but looks good. I am trying to figure out a good way to texture the walls.

Just got my addition stucco-ed. From the look of it, it will most likely suck (absorb) a lot of paint.
Do I need to prime it first before I paint it? Right now it's just raw, new stucco, float finished.

How do I make a bedroom in an existing room? All I need is two more walls to close off the room + a door. What do I ask for at the renovation store. Having no experience in construction is a better if I do it myself or pay to get it done. Id prefer to do it myself its cheaper. I dont want a solid 4inch wall just a simple room maybe with pannels that act as walls.

I used a band saw to cut the shape roughly and finished it up with a belt sander. The sander has left ripples from where I cut the relief cuts used for when I shaped it first on the band saw. Question is, how do I get rid of these ripples if the Belt sander won't do it.

I bought pretty sturdy screws, they're for wood as I was told and they"re about 3-4 inches long. I drilled a hole (smaller in diameter) into the wall, which the wall is made out of solid wood, so that the screw goes in easier. But when I put the screw in, after about half the way they don't go any further as easy as until here. When I put more pressure on them and try to force them in they just break in half, although the hole is pre-drilled all the way.

What should I do??

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a the smaller room in a 2 bedroom apartment. My roommate isn't even in town for the winter and I was wondering was is more cost effective: a space heater or just using the (electric) heat? My room is so small that if you turn on the heat (which is being wasted in the living room at night) it get too hot pretty quickly.

Just wated to know if a space heater set a low is going to eat more electricity than I think?
