James H asked:

I am planning to rebuild a fence using common cedar fence boards. These are sold wet and rough. The last time I built, I cured the lumber for 3 months. I used a belt sander to smooth all sides. It came out really nice, but the sanding was no fun: 3 days of vibration, “sawdust-snowman”, inhaling cedar dust, cedar splinters in my eyes. At the time I told myself, “next time I am buying/renting a machine to smooth these boards”.

I was thinking about a portable surface planer and rigging a vacuum exhaust. But I am not sure that the planer can handle all the warping cedar fence boards tend to have. Would a surface planner work for my application?

I’ve also seen surface drum sanders, and I know these are specifically designed for this application. But it seems like there are only commercial (ie >$500) machines available? Any ideas?

decjr2006 asked:

I need a good set of tools for some things around the house, possible renovation later, and some sidework. I was thinking about buying a 24 volt firestorm kit from lowes (2 batteries, charger, hammer drill, circ. saw, recip. saw, and a jig saw) for $220. Ive been told that some of the older firestorm tools are junk, havent heard anything bad about the new ones and my experience with a little 12 volt drill wasnt bad. Comes with a 2 year warrantee and lowes 4 year extended protection for $60 which offers 100% parts and labor coverage for mechanical and electrical failures. Should i buy the firestorm kit? $280 for good power tools for 6 years sounds ok to me or should i just cough up 300 more and get dewalt tools??

smudgeuk9 asked:

We’ve an old house which we’re renovating. However, stripping paint from door frames etc is a nightmare. The layers of gloss come of fine with a heat gun but under neath these is a layer of brown paint which just turns to gue with the heat gun and then goes hard, its impossible to get off. Tried a sander (detail sander and belt sander) but it just clogs the sandpaper up making it all shiner. Any ideas. At the moment i’m scraping it off with a chisel but there must be a better solution. Thanks.
