A few years back I had to store my equipment in a garage with no climate control, right in the fog line from the bay. I wasn’t able to use the...

Those look nice, and appear to be in pretty good condition. As long as they don't have any seized screws or parts they should clean up well. If the...

But it would keep people from messing with your car just as good as a dog. :D jtk

This is a similar set up: If you can set up to drill into the end of the rod being used it may make it easier to peen the ends. If the rod...

is it good for the Lie Nielsen’s as well?

Keep an eye out for something you can purchase and modify. A file can usually work on most screwdrivers. Some have hardened tips which would require...

There could also be a couple of patent dates inside the brass depth adjuster: The lever cap may have an 'S' or a 'B' on the under side: ...

I went back and forth a lot over the decision to buy the guide. At the end of the day I decided that anything that increases the accuracy and...

Thanks Andrew, I'm leaning that way.

OK, but just for the record, where I come from, that is not a dog. :eek:

Nada in NE. But close. You can almost smell it. Which is awesome. Five days of warming starting tomorrow, which will get all the roots doing the...

I was in the market for a saw and Harvey came up here several times, so I browsed through their offerings. Had never seen another saw with that...

My 15" planer is wimpy compared to what you are looking at, but I have had segmented steel and urethane rollers on various machines. I found that...

I agree you won't know until you start cutting, but I would expect it to bow along the length of the board to some extent. Cupping isn't out of the...

You never know till you start cutting. Dan

You might want to knock the corners off that steel piece. Looks like a knee buster. Dan

Walnut is gorgeous -- for interior furniture. However, it is fairly soft, so it scratches and dents more easily than harder woods. I'd suggest...

green is always ground in NA. L1 and L2 are power into the motor. P2 is insulated with a wirenut and tucked out of the way touching no other...

The thrust bearings on my 1996 Delta 14" are just Taiwanese NTNs (actually all the bearings are NTN). The thrust bearings on a small bandsaw really...

Someplace I've seen a company selling minivan liners intended to prevent your muddy dog from dripping on the car. IIRC, the liner connected to the...

Based on what my old Unisaw top looked like, I suspect wear could also be an issue for a coated top. Most places of that top you could no longer see...

Who had a granite tablesaw? they have made multi-ton machine tools from concrete with metal embedded for accurate ground and scraped wear...

Over the years I've tried numerous custom orthotics, both those ordered by prescription and those done at home by the method you mentioned. All...

Very nice moxon Leo. The addition of the dog holes is very smart. May have to steal that. You're gonna find more uses for it than you think. Curious...

The design is not mine! I found it in the AAW magazine. One end of this design is rounded for pulverizing things. The other is slightly rounded...

In well run shops the machine tables have rules for use. Like no drinks on them. No gluing on them. No naps on them. And there is one product used...

I grab it with vise grips and rest the vise grips against the tool rest. I have vise grips from micro to monster size. However, for shallow...
