I always liked the window awnings , now they gather ….yawnings. AC cooled down the fad.

For only $ 461.99 ! Get ‘em while they got ‘em !

The gov -ment don’t allow no GOOD Paint . I would use painted canvas covering . Old ,and still works. The canvas soaks up paint
and becomes stronger, and gives Cush . Some years ahead ….you...

MORE great stuff ! Mike , I think some have fixed that ‘kickback’ by drilling a hole in the back of the case, That makes for air
de-compression. I’ve seen it in old furniture.

Lot of the old pattern makers vises have been broken. So any of them can break . I was always told to use only enough pressure to
hold the work. I’ve seen old timers be careful with tightening ...

I used a black lawn and garden bag, in 2 ply mode and enjoyed it all. I enjoy noon marks more, it’s a show every sunny day.
This town has a 90 foot pyramid noon mark with a special feature . ...

Pretty sure I haven’t seen one like that before ! The wood looks likes the old cloth on new Radios and Television, but it’s stronger
and harder to make ! Clever , interesting stuff.

If you have the directions read them . Then let us interpret what….anything means . I think that used correctly they are safe , any
thing that is not clear will be answered here.

YES , but some of the lesser art work can be painted over ,and the steel will not have been eaten up by rust. I think even Mike
Angelo painted over some of HIS work. Can’t resist posting my...

Thanks ,Eric but I’m retired ….so I started hoarding a long time ago. You can also cut the saws down between any bent sections and
make smaller saws . If you don’t want to re- tooth them ,easy to...

You can always make ‘card’ scrapers out of them, especially the ones that “don’t shoot straight” anymore. Be sure to get an agate
burnisher . They are the best , and they also burnish your...

If you are gluing pieces together lay them out like you want, put lite pencil lines across the whole thing . Joint one face toward the fence,
next board face out , all will flat….except …your...

The grooved roller can be adjusted to give more pressure. Some just lift the other end of the board a little to give a little more pressure,
If you are good at facing on the jointer , and if the...

I like Powermatic planers . Used them in several employments, some of the shop owners had trouble with them . I convinced them to
buy M-2 or T-1 knives and the planers worked much smoother, and...

Nice work, but my guess is that you will think they match ….while she will inspect both and choose the one she likes best !

Agree with Warren . You can speak “in tongues” ….but you can’t speak…without a tongue. The Indians, proved that.

I would just warn clients that it needs more than one light bulb.

I don’t think the dowels swell much . I’ve got a piece of scrap steel about an inch thick with slightly undersize holes. All the old timers
I worked with had them . Holes had flared EZ to start...

Thanks, Jim , Interesting and all new to me. War is not all , “Green Acres”.

I like it as is. Look in some old books on antiques, nothing odd about it . Modern tables often have smaller tops , and it’s not for looks .

It’s to keep them cheap. Your table is just right for...

Cypress is good ,when it is old enough. Young cypress has little resistance to rot.

Some years back there was a new glue , and everyone bought it. It was easy to use, only problem was the work fell apart.
The Stradivari violins were glued with animal glue, when they need some...

Well now we have 2 hot glues ! They need 2B differentiated ! The REAL HOT GLUE is the old animal stuff. Has No Odor…

IT’S A STENCH !

I guess everyone knows new framing squares are much worse. Bought a framing square to use on first job . Tested it at home and saw
it was off. Told an older guy on job that the square was off ! He...

I think it works best hanging loose but you can’t always make that work . It’s expensive, I’ve bought it from places that tried to sell
too many hideous colors of cove base and saved money. Quiet...
