That's great that you succeeded. Would you mind posting a photo of your setup?

Looking at Jim's pictures I was looking at the screw. if the end of the thread is ball shaped it would allow the cap to self level.

What are you looking for?

My question above was related to the Stanley 51. The miter fence on the top would not be used, I assume, and that instead, you would flip the...

How about, I'm the kind who has spent a lot of time, energy, and money building up a very nice workshop where I occasionally produce something I'm...

I'm in for a couple...

I lost 40 pounds since I went on a KETO diet. Seems to come off easily enough with this diet. I can eat all the meat, fats, cheese, fiber, etc I...

Tom, They look great, and given your skill, I expect that they will work as good as they look. You did good at the swap meet too. Good job! ...

You can’t see it in the picture, but the tool rests are adjustable. That said, most of my lathe bits are carbide insert based so I seldom need to...

I’ll take at least one if you can have them made.

I had one that came with my Minimax CU300 combo. Never used it and sold it for $400-$500 several years ago. With Domino never felt the need for it.

@Keith.... CafePress does mugs... lots of other places do it too, but Cafepress has been doing it for a long time. I've ordered Custom printed...

FWIW, I have one of the 8" DeWalt grinders. The tool rests were total junk, so I removed them. Installation of the Oneway Shapening Jigs (around...

Now that's everything I was hoping for! So many great techniques. Naively, I didn't know I should have to plane the edges to something useable. ...

That looks like a classic "casehardening" result from improper ion operation. I've encountered it in lumber bought from some small independent...

very sad and surprised hearing this, RIP brother. I was just looking at his classes about two weeks ago.
