I tried to start my Bostich Air Compressor and it would not start. I am making a swmbo suggestion and trying to
nail a drawer for my workbench. SWMBO suggested and when she suggests I do, the compressor would not start. I looked on line and saw a local purveyor of tools, er toys, had one and was about to go buy a new one.
I thought maybe the switch or pressure cut off has a problem. I picked the compressor up and dropped about two inches and VOILA!, it started.
If your interested, I milled some 3/4"thick wood to 1/2" thickness and made drawer sides. I have some drawer slides. I milled 1X6 to 1/2" thickness, rounded the top edges and ripped a 1/4" drawer bottom groove for 1/4"plywood bottoms. I went three of my favorite purveyors of lumber looking for drawer side wood and nobody knew what I was talking about. If the drawers were going to be mistreated, I would put 3/8" bottoms on the drawers.
I do have drawer slides though. I also have a planer toy, er tool. It sits on a wooden stand I made and I kept the box it came in that I cover it with when it is idle. I am using my folding yardstick which is half of a 6" folding rule that broke.
