We have Amish in Missouri and I used to see many at the woodworking shows when I used to go to them. A lot who look Amish are actually Mennonites...

Looks like a very interesting project.

Yes to digital calipers. Mine seem to walk away, so I have several, somewhere. The not so glamorous tool I find myself using daily on every...

We have standard red oak floors in our kitchen. Pros are that it's warmer than tile, and less breakage of things that fall. And no grout lines to...

Maybe we're heading toward the end of the "plaid-talking-salesman-guess-what you're-going-to-pay-for-this-car" model of selling cars. No reason why...

Similar issues here. KC Royals games are only available on BallyTV Sports (a Sinclair company) and none of the locally available streamers except...

The state of the art in water treatment is that they can treat wastewater (98% H2O) to be better quality than raw water out of the river. Fear of...

Yes to veg oil cooking spray.

I've made several with just unfinished curly maple. I will sand them up to the highest possible grit I have on hand - at least 1200-1500. If...

Isn't that what GOOP is made of? I understand some people are allergic to lanolin.

I think it's a well known truism that economists are better at explaining what happened, than they are at predicting the future. The economist I...

Not here in Missouri/Kansas.

For irregular gaps (if they're small enough) I will often use a piece of masking tape as a dam (on the inside of dado) and fill the gap with CA glue,...

I tried three different brands. I would buy one, try to get it to work, but ended up throwing it in the lake. Then I would get determined and got...

you can often find leftover decking material cheap at Habitat Restore.

I already have a set of those.:(

I think that is why they add black to tires.

I like to use WATCO danish oil with the Dark Walnut tinting to help keep it darker longer, and more uniform between pieces. One step, or add another...

Outside the box idea - since lateral movement would be restricted for all but the top shelf, how about big rare earth magnets?
