Brian, I've always admired your metal workng skills (as much as your woodworking skills). Mine is a simple PVC pipe collecting dust at the blade...

Signal is the one my wife and I like most. Zuckerberg uses it, he doesn't even use his own apps (Facebook, Whatsapp, etc.) because of security...

Thanks for clarifying, I can see your photos but I wasn't sure what I was looking at, that makes more sense. I don't have any metal working gear...

(N21) Norton WS888 (8x2x1/2) Washita new in box. This is new old stock. For Creekers I will sell this for $50, which I think is a great deal. ...

Glad to hear you're happy. There are still a lot of us who love Arkansas stones. One tip from a fellow arkansas stone user... Arkansas stones...

Steve, I have seen them put in the opening door using a screen, some saws actually have two ports in them which seems to indicate someone was taking...

Any decent drill press can do the job, a simple v-block type clamp would do the job.

God, I love dried pears. Didn't get a crop this year to dry, and I'm going to miss them. Did get our first ever Northern Iowa peaches and dried a...

That's a lot of hole relative to the wood you're trying to leave. I'm really curious why you're doing this, given the obvious fragility of the end...

Actually no. Engineering is not about intuitively coming up with an answer, even the correct answer, without backing it up with calculations that...

I would do this on my lathe with a Jacob’s chuck in the tail stock since it’s already centered with the headstock, but if you don’t want to use a...

It's that gift of "intuitive reasoning". "Thems that gots it" are extremely blessed. I don't have it for Math (except, as noted, in Analytic...

Have you considered the flutter method? It won't tell you the tension in raw numbers, but it will allow you to tension a blade so that it cuts like...

A couple months ago I was given a metal lathe that was in one of the local floods we've had over the last year. Like you we have had it rough when...

I finally was able to round up the parts I needed to build the replacement switch for the Long Ranger 220V low voltage switch. This was an...

I would do it on my drill press. Clamp a block of wood or steel onto the table and drill a 7/16 hole in it (or a size smaller if the dowels fit...

Are they using a diesel generator as primary power, or as backup power? I have read of Tesla Superchargers having diesel generators as primary power...

Can't be sure about this particular incident, but every story of arrest threats I have looked into turned out to be completely bogus; along with...

Funny - in between picking pears for drying, i've been doing a similar task. Us metal workers spin the work, hold the drill stationary. It will...

Almost all of the listed stones sold. And if they did not sell, I sold them on eBay (mostly). I could put up another batch because I have other...

I find it hard to believe any other roadside assistance provider would have done better when faced with crushing demand after a natural disaster. ...
