argh.pirate asked:

I want to go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and buy some lumber for my newly bought power tools. I plan on making random things whenever I feel like it and I’m looking for a general all purpose type of wood. I know there are specific woods for specific projects but there has to be something that’s okay for everything. I want to build chests, little bookcases, rice paper lamps, stools, dvd cases, or whatever else I can think of. I’d also like to keep it in the cheap to moderate price range nothing expensive I just want to stock up. Thanks.

Mike Y asked:

I’m looking to get a new set of power tools, and I’ve looked on Home Depot and Lowe’s sites. So far the ones that have the most “bang for your buck” are Skil (which I’ve heard of before, but don’t really know much about them) and Ryobi. Are these brands good ones, or is there a reason why their products are cheaper than say Dewalt? Thanks!

CaptianSteel asked:

Its just like a normal speaker terminal box but with an a/c adapter instead of speaker connectors. I have tried creating this two times but I’m not very skillful with power tools. If anyone could tell me where to purchase this or if you could custom make it, I would appreciate it greatly… Thanks!
I am trying to put power into a speaker box and i would like to use a recessed terminal port with an a/c plug instead of say speaker ports.
Ive gone to home depot, best buy, radio shack, and searched several online stores and i can not find anything like this, however i know it exists because i have seen the object before i just dont know where.

Is a power rake and a dethatcher the same thing?

k asked:

We want to dethatch our yard and we were going to do it ourselves rather than pay a landscaper - I checked Home Depot’s tool rental list and they don’t have a “dethatcher” but they do have a “power rake” - Are those the same or what’s the difference? I’ve never dethatched before and am not a big gardener.

Do places exist where you can use power tools without renting or purchasing them?

yaellaer asked:


I’m working on a project for Christmas that requires the use of a few power tools - namely, a table saw and drill with some large bits. I don’t own any of these tools. I don’t need them for very long, only a few minutes, so I don’t want to rent them for a full day or anything if I don’t have to.

Do places exist where you can go in, bring your lumber (or whatever), and use the tools for a fee? Will places like Lowes or Home Depot do this for you if you purchase raw materials from them?
