Jerrys Renovations

You Know I’M BiG I’M BAD..You know it!! ha ha…yeah..that’s what this saw says to you when you pull it out of the huge box it comes in. We do a tremendous amount of trim work in our remodeling and it was time to add a 12″ saw to our equipment. Like usual, I researched [...]

The Festool RO 90 sander was added after extensive research looking for the “perfect” little detail sander for Kitchen Cabinet remodeling. This little sander delivers in spades, and simply defies its’ size in every way. For the average homeowner this would probably be overkill, especially when you see the price of these German built machines, [...]

Part two:  INCRA LS Positioner Super System When you first un-box this big Triton router the first thing that strikes you is it’s “robotic” overall look.

As a handyman and carpenter I have been around a lot of electrical installations and know a considerable amount about it though. As a home owner in certain places you do have the right to do electrical installs yourself, HOWEVER you [...]

Incredible accuracy. That’s it in a nutshell.  If your a customer this new system allows us the most precise panel goods (plywood) cutting available anywhere!! The new saw also comes complete with the CT36 dust extractor. This extractor is fully HEPA rated and tool activated and works perfectly with our hi-end sanders during in-home renovations. [...]

Dual Slide 10″ Compound Miter Saw Mounted to Ridgid MS-UV Mobil Miter saw Stand A miter saw has become a most used machine for my carpentry and flooring installations. For the last two years I’ve used a 7 1/2 inch Craftsman slider for all of my flooring and trim cuts. The Craftsman has served me [...]

There’s a Bear in the Woodshop! That’s right. The Grizzly Ultimate GO555P Bandsaw (Polar Bear version)  is now installed, and the first test have been nothing less than spectacular as expected. Many people consider the tablesaw to be the de-facto go-to-tool in any woodworkers arsenal. I couldn’t do without mine, however I’m not a full-blown [...]
