Dan - this kind of logical, unemotional list of solutions is everything that’s right with SMC... but you’ll soon get pounded with “if you’re so smart and this is so easy, why don’t you start your...
How did I know this was coming?
Same reason IÂ’ve never given a dime to Wikipedia, Firefox/mozilla, or craigslist.... itÂ’s simply not worth it, to me. I donÂ’t pay for websites. ItÂ’s just...

Which is 10% of the site’s population? And what percentage of contributors choose to opt in at this point? Not many, I would opine.... if they pay $6, why would they also look at ads....? the...
This is the best idea I’ve read on this (and every other thread) on this subject. A simple disclaimer that “this is how we pay the bills, please opt in for the banner ads” is exactly what should be...
I started with the exact same thoughts when I decided to sell my stuff. I know NOTHING about computers and social media but we do have a web page and a Facebook page. (I’m not personally on the...
Stuart Batty invented the term “negative rake scraper” some 18-20 years ago. He says that in order for a tool to be considered a NRS, it MUST have a burr. It’s in his definition, and since he...
As Ed said, virtually any clear epoxy/resin will work. “Table top” resins are very easy to use and mix. There are dozens of options.
If you are trying to avoid too many bubbles, here are some...
Having done this to a number of houses here’s some hints which might be obvious:
1. Get the biggest pieces you can
2. As soon as you take off a hunk get it outside - through a window or sliding...
ive found the opposite is also true! I’ve turned a number of things that would make the folks on this forum barf but they sold the second I laid them on the table! I learned a long time ago to...
And think of all the money he’s saved on safety equipment.... I wonder where he got those squint goggles?
When you are good, you are good.... amazing skill shown here. Fascinating to see the...
I recently acquired many (30+) full sized logs of olive, pear, Brazilian pepper and a few other species. I have used a chainsaw mill and/or my bandsaw to process my logs previously, but these are...

Why would you say that?
Epoxy resins are used to coat the inside of metal food containers – like canned food and metal bottle caps.
i wouldn’t recommend drinking epoxy from the bottle, but once...

Thanks to all of you riders who chimed in... I just finished the 2 1/2 day motorcycle training and safety course and it was good fun. I learned a ton and didn’t drop their bike, so it was a win!

I’m set to get my motorcycle license in a couple weeks and a new bike shortly thereafter. Just for reference, I’m curious if anyone has recommendations or experiences they’d like to share with a new...

the problem you're having with the epoxy running out...
I do 4-5 art/craft shows per year. I started doing them a few years ago because I ran out of people to give my stuff to and I realized I can more than pay for my hobby with a few good shows. I only...
It depends entirely on what you are going to turn. I rebuilt my 1958 pm90 with the reeves drive and it was great for spindles but turned rough bowl blanks WAY too fast and created a few moments of...
It's a modern phenomenon. In a chat room, or forum, an ellipse is mostly used as a "soft stop." It provides the reader a chance to read the text with a pause, as in conversation. Hard periods are...

It's a shelf so you're sure to have one edge up against the wall.... put some screws in the edge and hang it however you want. No one but the termites boring through from the outside of the house...
