    Forget 'Baby on board'

    Thread Starter: Rick Potter

    I need a bumper sticker that says 'Nobody on board'. Tesla has opened up the 'self driving' app on newer Tesla's for a free 30 day trial. It is factory installed on all of them, they just don't turn it on unless you pay, which we didn't. All of a sudden there is an octogenarian who cannot...

    I have a 1/2" sorby detail gouge that I have ground at 40° (also removed the heel) and it works ok now that I moved away from the jigs and started sharpening by hand... but it's still just an ok tool. I now have a d-way detail spindle gouge (1/2") on the way and was thinking about trying a 25°...

    Hot water sulfur smell solutions

    Thread Starter: Ron Citerone

    My cottage is on well water. Several years ago we started with the dreaded sulfur smell, hot water only. I had a plumber replace the anode. Smell came back eventually. I found the model of the anode he installed and see that is just aluminum. Seems like the one I need is aluminum/zinc? Has...

    Spindle gouge bevel angle?

    Epoxy glue joint opened

    aluminum or steel?

    Ken, I built a table using this very system, some years back. I did not use any material other than wood. Works fine.

    aluminum or steel?
