Lost OC Boy asked:

Saw a similar question to this, but the best answer suggested using power tools and the other answers weren’t very helpful. I don’t have any power tools so I’m looking for an option I can do by hand. Not a deep scratch, just got too close to this curb.

coasterfreak110 asked:

I am fourteen years old, and I have used probably about a dozen power tools safely, and many times. I have become more interested in building, and have the money to buy a kit of the necessary power tools, but I cannot persuade my parents to allow me to have them, as they think power tools are not safe. Are there any statistics stating they are safe, or is there a way I can prove to them I know how to use these tools correctly?

Applegirl23 asked:

I’m new at buying tools and I usually borrow but now I’d like to buy my own. I really love carpentry and I plan to do quite a bit of projects once I have power tools. I’de like to start out by buying a circular saw and a drill. what brands and types do you recomend that are not to expensive, will do a good job, and will last a pretty long time? and if you can, which brands and types should I stay away from?

Patches6 asked:

I have a made in Japan box that has a flat finish. Dont want to use belt sander as it will gunk up the belt. To tedious to hand sand and takes a while if using a small palm sander. Looking for what naturally would lift the stain. Any suggestions would be welcome besides the nasty strippers. Thank you!

jd1 asked:

I am currently using a 1/4 sheet sander but was thinking a belt sander would be a better choice. Is the belt sander the way to go or stick with the tried and true 1/4 sheet sander? Or does anyone have a better suggestion. The old paint does not have to be completely removed but I need to make the edges smooth for painting.
Thanks.

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?
