Agreed, and that's what I was trying to illustrate in the first photo. No stain = uniform appearance even in porous wood. I like fuming both Red and...

It takes just a few minutes for a bank to verify if the check is good before cashing it.

I think I have a few abandoned woodworking projects that predate this discovery.

Anything I sell online I list as " cash and local only." There is no issue of them physically picking up the product. Cash may not be practical in...

Not seen one of those Bill, is there an off the shelf thing to have a gawk at? Tom

Yes you're right about Oak and my process. It's such a good wood and hard to quit on. It's a wood that demands very careful grain matching and stain...

I'm thinking of replacing it with a custom profile, maybe 5/8" x 1 1/4" high with a rounded top. That should let me make a better corner joint and...

Well, it's easy enough to try it both ways and make up your own mind. And please let us know which you prefer.

I worked with a guy that was offered the same deal forty years ago, i guess after the check bounces, the person cashing the check, is on the hook for...

These are a bit pricey: >...

Yeah, it's a bit of a double edged sword. Governments need to encourage the switch to EVs while at the same time figure out how to switch away from...

Where I live both gas and electricity are expensive. We have a 12.3 kW solar array and just got a (non Tesla) EV. The car charges at home for free...

Also, the article explains the method used to date the pieces found.

I like it. I'm searching for some now..

They have shortened the hex section so it is too narrow for adult fingers or even a crescent wrench. You have to buy a service wrench to get it...

Sorry I can’t really understand your comments. However, I just installed my new carbide knives and I’ll say that it’s much better than the m42...

Good to know its real name. "Hooked skew" is what I've always called it. I have the Ashley Iles and OCC Tools versions. ...

I have some woodcraft catalogs from the 70's. Back when it was just the one store in Mass. I haven't thought of Silvo for a long time. 1977 or 78 one...

My experience is that unless there is a gross mis-sizing on the choice of equipment mini-splits will exceed your expectations. Bruce’s idea on the...

Baxter does come with a 'stop block' which is made from aluminum. It does work. Some day when I get a 'round 2 it', I will make a better one. I will...

All i got is it was the other way around the washer in the hose wouldn't come tight to make the seal. Maybe someone else could chime in.

As noted above you can read the NEC and other codes for free on line or speak with a professional and they will likely let you read their purchased...

Is it quarter round, or shoe molding. There is a difference, with my preference being shoe molding. Generally you can find shoe molding in oak. ...

If you want to try a challenge you can try using veneer. Instead of doing a 'V' shaped pocket and corresponding letters you make normal pocket. I...

I have several stanleys with pmv-11 blades that work great. I must admit it is the esthetics of the Bronze that makes me want it (as much as I hate...

It has been a month now and I have eaten enough crow to confess my ineptness and apologize to PSI. PSI did well. I wrote to them explaining in...

Found Silvo catalogs from 1979 on eBay. Thanks for this. Will bring back lots of good memories.
