Really nice work Barb. Really liking the Dewalt storage idea to
Thanks, Rick. I got an order to make another headphone stand tonight. Whodda thunk it?Really nice work Barb. Really liking the Dewalt storage idea to
Thanks, Herb. As for the wall, this kind of wall isn't everyone's cup o` tea, but the look changes with the colors you choose, too. There's a lot of color combos out there to play with. Personally, I was thinking a light oak instead of the gray in there, but it wasn't available. The only other color at this store was white, and I definitely didn't want that.Great ideas, on the headphones and laptop stands, Your organizing is looking good too. I am still undecided about the wall, Hmmmmm

Maybe not a track but definitely a straight edge. But blade shape/quality will make a difference in the quality of cut. There's an old trick of using painters tape over the place your cutting to eliminate/reduce splintering. You could try a straight edge and tape both sides of the intended cut. I use a sheet of foam insulation, in my case 2", under the wood and set the blade depth for just over the thickness of the wood. In my case if I'm cutting say 1" wood I set the blade for 1-1/4". 1/4" into the foam hurts nothing and the foam can be used for a long time. If needed clamp the straight edge. Double check the mark and blade before cutting. You need to set the straight edge for the width of cut and the offset of the saw base. Do this once for both directions, put a piece of tape on the top side of the base and write down the offsets for next time. If you're making a cut for 10" width and the wider offset is 3" you'll need the straight edge at 7" from the edge of the board. Easiest way is to make several test cuts and measure or simply mark your cut line and back the saw off manually until the blade is on the cut line. Secure and measure for future use. Hope this makes sense as I'm doing this in my head.@sreilly my circular saw is cordless. Don't know if you can use it with a track?
- I agree.Nice work as always Barb
Hi Barb, in principle, yes. I use my DeWalt cordless with a track (both recent acquisitions, the track is a cheapy but from Wolfcraft - not total junk). What you need to establish is whether the sled that rides on the track can accommodate your saw. My only complaint about the sled I have, is that it is rather flexible plastic - can be displaced upwards on manmade thick boards (e.g. formica countertops) - leading to cuts which are not necessarily perpendicular to the surface of the board.@sreilly my circular saw is cordless.
