Looking for a new project to do. I've been spending a few months upgrading the workshop / fixing minor annoyances, and really need to actually build something. I ran across this in a magazine ad. The furniture is supposedly solid teak, though I don't think that will be in the cards for...
Last Post By: Alan Lightstone Today, 2:51 PMI have a 2019 Grasshopper mower with Kubota D902 engine that suddenly won't start at low throttle. I have always started it at the lowest throttle setting and it started just fine. Now, it simply won't start at the lowest throttle setting. I thought something was seriously wrong, and I was just...
Last Post By: Curt Harms Today, 12:00 PMI've seen threads discussing the pros and cons of straight-sided versus bevel-sided mortise chisels. The big takeaways seem to be 1.
