About a year ago I was reading and found that Vietnam veterans qualified for VA medical benefits. About the same time, I was talking with a neighbor who came over to ask me about hearing aids. I have...
Nicely done Jim! I have been looking at one of those leveling systems for the table I am building. Boy, none of them are cheap! Some just more expensive than others.
I don't have a jackplane yet,...
Over the 41 years we have lived in this home, I have done several upgrades to it including adding a 30' x 24' standalone shop, always doing it by code and call for inspections as soon as necessary or...
As devices spin up to speed, it's not unusual for them to vibrate as they pass through speeds that are not their final run speed and to do similar things as they shut down for the same reason. It has...
Do a search for "rubber bushings". There is a bunch on Amazon.
Beautiful yards!
Maurice, I have watched this video a dozen times, at least. It was one of the things that inspired me to build one. My wife and I are at an age that getting the extensions up and down the stairs from...
Richard, again, you want to call them "geared or equalizer slides" but in fact they use a form of rack and pinion as I showed in the illustration.
Here's what I am using....
Jimmy, the reason for the wear strips is minimize any wear on the mechanism should there be any sag in the system. I might be making it overly complex. I can do that! :o
I won't tell you that I...
Richard it's a matter of which words you and I choose to use. Here's a illustration of a rack and pinion assembly.

That sure looks like what is you are calling a gear slides or equalizer...
I am building a butterfly extension table. The 2 pieces of the tabletop that will extend and retract are 36" w and 33" long. They will be connected to a rack and pinion wooden assembly so if either...
The table I am building has a 3-piece tabletop, with 2 pieces attached to a rack & pinion assembly and the 3rd piece butterflying up from underneath the table. On the top edge of the table frame, I...
Steve, I couldn't comment about others. I was gifted by a bunch of turner Creekers with the "Bomb" a Jet 10" EVS. I suppose you could search for the thread concerning the bombing run as they called...
Here's the two sources I found. https://www.osbornewood.com/products/table-slides/fixed-frame-table-slides-equalizer and https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/hardware/table-hardware
Steve, that Jet is a good beginner's lathe. That's what I was gifted and started on. If he lives near a Wood Craft store, you could purchase it through that store and have him pick it up and save on...
If it was me, I would use 2 similar sized wedges, place them parallel but on opposite sides of the arbor (capture the arbor shaft between them) and gently tap each one trying to apply equal and...
That's a heck of a score, Robert! Congratulations!
Nicholas, this thread is 15 years old. I suspect Travis has either found his workbench or given up hope and settled for something else.
Welcome to the Creek!
They can give a medication that helps relieve that. IIRC versed is the med.
In my previous post I mistakenly said the tabletop was made of 8/4 but it's really 6/4 walnut.
I just installed the Soss hidden barrel hinges. The butterfly section is made up of 2 sections hinged...
Sounds like a great find Jim.
Nicely done Mark!
Thank you but hardly!
George, I'd forgotten about the coldhead noise a patient hears. The MRI magnet is a supercooled (LHe = liquid helium), superconductive, electromagnet. Once it's ramped up to field strength, there is...
I finished the breadboard edges on the 2 sections of the extending/retracting portions of the table top for table I am building. With the grain running across the table, laying out and cutting the...
