Sorry, but I'm new to epoxy...is epoxy glue and epoxy resin the same thing? I bought epoxy glue for gluing my benchtop together, do I mix this with sawdust for the hole? (The fibreglass shop man was confusing me a bit.)

I just got my first table saw a Ryobi ETS1525SC for my birthday, any comments on the saw. Back to the workbench I haven't done much on it lately because I haven't had a table saw to rip the apron but I will be back to it soon.

Thanks and have a happy holiday and new year CMwood

I had the older version called a home workshop as you could attach a router and jig saw to it. They are a bit away from being in the proffessional range but with a good blade in it and things properly tuned it can do reasonable work. A crosscut sled is a good addition as the miter guide in them is a bit flimsey. For info on crosscut sleds and how to set up and tune a saw google will get you plenty and this site has done those many times as well.
There is a tablesaw forum on here too for detailed questions.

As far as I know
There are products that are slightly thickened into a paste that you mix a hardener into
they can be used as a glue or filler these are sometimes tinted

Epoxy resin is just thinner usually clear also require a hardener and used on fibreglass mat but can also be used to fill gaps

It does get more technical than this but they are pretty much the same chemical substance

Hi I have just marked out my dog holes on my apron and I was just wondering what would be the best way to cut them? I was going to use my router and chisels but I do not want to mess this up since it is expensive wood. I thought it could be easy to do by doing it with a router free hand. I think I might clamp a piece of wood next to the slot for my router to run along but still not sure. Any suggestions.

Cheers CMwood

Groggy is that a piece of aluminium tube for the straight edge?

Yes it is, very handy for roughing down to flat.

Most people make a jig to guide the router, have a look here:

Hi CM,
I would not advise routing free hand either. Any time I have tried that it usually looked like somethong gnawed out by rats. I dont know if you are already comitted but have you considered round dog holes instead. A whole lot easier. There was some discussion on here not long ago about round or square dog holes. Worth a look.

I have cut my dog holes and they look good but any ideas how to install a tail vise

I have got a tail vise screw and I was wondering how to install it because it looks kind of hard. Has any one done it before and can help.

I think I saw some on either the LN or LV website.

last night the house flooded and all the beech got wet is there any thing I can do. How long do people think it will take to dry out.
