Yes Hank Sr.

One of the employees at a former shop is a jazz drummer and accomplished artist. He had Zappa's Black Page stapled to the wall above his work station. When shop dynamics were at an un energetic, hum...

I have had an illuminated when off switch act funny and another not work at all when the bulbs or light fixtures were switched to LED. I assume the capacitors in the LEDs charge and discharge causing...

I have read several discussions about this. The answer I see most often is that "Air to air is is not used in refrigeration" for the reasons listed above. The temperature differential in winter is...

I have had to store dried wood outside for short periods. I have very good tarps & don't leave it out too long and hope we don't have a monsoon or tornado. A tarp that is truly waterproof and stays...

More info on how the boat is constructed and finished would help (regarding suggesting a remedy). Gluvit is frowned upon by some traditionalists. It really works. Gluvit could be applied to the...

Allegedly Robert Manry was one of the first boating enthusiasts to prove the usefulness of epoxy for wooden boat building and repair. I have posted about Tinkerbelle several times. It is an...

This should do the trick. Peel and stick "hook" is also available in 6 inch rolls. If you prime the disc with contact cement and let it dry throughly the PSA will bond almost permanently. Lacquer...

Jamestown Distributors has been my source. The slowest version I have tried is the "Tropical" hardener. It is very slow.

My dads former farm hand is a Veteran of the Korean Conflict. He would have most likely died homeless if my dad had not found kind and clever ways to get him to the VA hospital. He is alive and...

+1 for epoxy. I am most familiar with West System and Smiths. I almost always thicken the glue to paste consistency so glue is not running and dripping. I keep a log with notes on how many grams to...

I think they need you in person Tom. That looks like some of your projects.

I love to see neat old historical buildings being saved. I hope I get to visit New Hampshire this summer. There is a...

Neat-O! I once looked into renting an inflatable hockey rink or swimming pool type temporary cover for a project like that. It was way beyond the budget. The cover your Sons crew came up with is...

I have not seen any PMs. I am interested in pictures.

We just got an external drive for the MacBook Air. The only problem I have had is remembering to eject the disc before exiting Music or Photos. I have been working on ripping the CD collection. I am...

At 85 my Father In Law went through a phase of gorilla gluing chairs and other genuine colonial antiques. The chairs are stuck together for sure. It is going to take some time to get them cleaned up....

This is sad to see. Sorry about your health struggles.
Where are your tools located?

He also did a very thorough job creating plans and programs. Having done it all digitally makes his invention almost ready for mass production. It is a very nifty sander & a great lesson in...

Darling has managed to hang on to her Swiss Army knife. It resides religiously in her bicycle pannier. It is the next size down from the Huntsman. The blade is used almost as much as the corkscrew....

A clever thing that banjo builders do is to use iron brake drums for forms. I have a wheel from a line shaft pillow block that I have bent around. It is too small for those chairs but it is an...

What a smart and capable engineer & craftsman. I watched it 2X speed and still spent too much time on the web yesterday. It was worth it to see the capability of modern techniques. I assume if a...

I used the Sears radial arm saw to make mine. The saw has held up better than the louvers. The saw got to live indoors. A flaw I often find with attic ventilation is mesh or perforations that are too...
