Dropped $220 on a vacuum press for curved doors, and I'd do it again tomorrow

Bought a $340 dovetail jig I used exactly twice before going back to hand cutting

My old shop partner swears pocket screws are junk, but I just built 14 shop cabinets with them

Hot take: switching from glue and pin nails to a 15 gauge stapler on my face frames cut my build time from 3 hours to 40 minutes

Spent 4 hours last Saturday hunting a 1/16 inch gap in a face frame, turned out my bench was on a wobbly foot

Spent $310 on a used edge sander at a shop closing in Fresno, and it's the best money I ever put into my little garage setup

Warning: stop running your table saw blade 1/8 inch too high, it cost me a $90 dado set

Spent 2 hours setting up a stop block on a 40 inch rip and it was the best money I never spent
