I built a Paul Sellers style workbench using his YouTube videos as a guide. i customized the bench size to my needs (as I understood them at the time). As a beginner woodworker I was able to chop...

I've a Stanley no. 985N brace which has a gummy gear mechanism I'd like to clean out.

I can't figure out how to get it apart though. I tried pushing on the ping seen in the gear, but it would not...

I decided the most interesting part of the problem was that the saw started up once I pushed the armature in.

When I took the motor apart, I had to remove a spacer on the blade end of the...

I'll take a look at the switch - I've got the motor dismounted.

The spindle is a bit stiff - it rotates when I turn it - but stops quickly if I try to spin it. Is this normal - or could the...

I just picked up a 1980's vintage Craftsman Radial Arm saw. It sat in in the previous owner's damp garage for probably 10 years. There's some surface rust on the post and the particleboard table...

I've power washed my carport roof. I first ran some test on sample shingles. I didn't see a huge difference in the coating afterwards. I was careful to use a wide angle nozzle and only got close...

I'm building an extension for my contractor table saw. The saw is currently mounted on an HTC2000 mobile base.

While there are extensions available for the base, I'm curious if anyone has...

I've mounted a Delta T2 fence system to a older Craftsman contractor table saw.

I noticed yesterday that I can't adjust the angle of cut to 45 degrees. The motor mount is hitting the back rail. ...

I imagine you grin everytime you walk up the front walk. Great job!

Very nice. Thanks for sharing!

I'm in the same boat Jason. Could you let us know what you find out?

We ran down to East Carolina University to retrieve my daughter from their summer band camp program. She had a great time and made good progress on her saxophone playing. My 18yr old son helped...
