I'll suggest that hand wringing be reconsidered. 37 Years is but a blink of an eye for the earth. Want to impress me? Let's see 37 centuries. This...

Sorry to be slow. But are you asking how to tell which material yours were intended to cut? Or whether you can cut both materials with the same...

Any "saddle soap" available at your local Target or Shoe Store?

Good ideas above. Another idea is a car care product like this one: LINK I have not tried it on tools but I have used it on a car. They sell it at...

Tidy. Nicely done. Kudos

Better to prepare for the coming Storm and hope for the clear days thereafter. (Don't buy that suddenly affordable Ocean front condo.)

When drill presses first appeared in garage shops and hobby basements, they were an industrial fixture. Now, it's a relative rarity. Lower...

Have you had this conversation with your electrician? As the saying goes, no battle plan survives contact with the enemy.

Melamine is surprisingly durable. Part of my outfeed table is melamine and has take a beating for years and stood up well. Most of the extension...

Sounds like a steal to me.

Can you tell what type of blade made the marks on the extrusions? The knurled washers seem odd, as I can't see a function for the knurling. Also,...

They do have a lot of metal in them, and they require a lot of labor and machining. Just a thought.

That's my plan too!

I have a 50" straight edge and a feeler guage. I don't know what I would do without them

Here is my RAS setup. Sorry, I am not very good with attaching pics. This obviously is not a Craftsman, it's a DeWalt 7790 12", but the setup...

Have cleaned a piece of veg tan leather that got soaked in oil. - Wash with cold water to remove loose stuff. - Use dish washer soap (few drops)...

Look up a product called Hotfoot...perhaps at www dot hotfoot dot com. Comes in caulking tubes and you just lay down a bead where you don't want...

Some nice finds Richard. With removable handles it would likely be fairly simple to make a pair of handles for the draw knife that would angle it for...

A local sporting goods store should have baseball Glove Oil or Glove Cleaner (not to be confused with a Twilight Zone episode) that will do the...

Nice work Stan!! I see you have one of the smaller digitizing tablets (in addition to your Jumbo setup). My smallest tablet is 12" x 18", and comes...

I couldn't tell if you were just kidding with your question. Keith - I'm pretty sure I have seen a large cnc plasma table in Stan's shop (along with...

That could be. The piece I sliced up was about 1" thick, and air dried indoors about a year at the time I cut it. The slices were stacked with...

Interesting. The cut is fairly smooth but II assumed a smoother surface would be needed for decent adhesion. These slices will be cut to shape and...

Running it above 125 or so is a waste of money and reduces continous flow rate. Regulate for a max psi slightly above the desired pressure then...

Thanks Phil, at 72 I think this will be my last upgrade.:D At least, for a router cabinet.;) BTW, I'm near Kings Mill, Lapeer County.
