I wonder if the quality of pressure treating has decreased, at least for what is sold at the box store. I had a low 10x10 deck for the dogs not in contact with the ground - PT deck boards rotted in...
Did you mean to write “recess” instead of “spigot”? A spigot is another name for a tenon.
All my chucks are Novas and I’m used to and have come to prefer the clockwise turn to expand into a...
When I was at the wood industry at Berea College in 1968 they used a LOT of mahogany (plus maple, cherry, walnut, etc). The ground floor was equipped with a huge bandsaw and other tools for initial...
My biggest bush is a Duke but I don't remember the names of the other larger bushes. I read that it's best to get several varieties for cross pollination so I plant different types. I read the...
My copy came today too.

Blueberries are starting to ripen here. I've picked a few cups recently but picked 5 cups just this afternoon, mostly from three bushes - many more on the bushes to ripen later.

Might ask the local electrical inspector.
A quick look on Amazon shows a small 3m (dual scale) Stanley.
https://smile.amazon.com/Stanley-6992705-Pocket-Length-12-7mm/dp/B0009VX1ZQ I didn’t read the reviews. I have some dual scale...
Don’t worry, I won’t give my reasons (again). The fact is he whose circumstance doesn’t make many chucks useful certainly doesn’t need them.
I actually have just eighteen Nova chucks in my shop...
That well answers the cut question!!!
Opinions vary. I have 20 Teknatool chucks in four "flavors", some bought used, and I'm extremely happy with their quality. I've measured runout, etc. And yes, I've used Vicmark, Oneway, and other...
More and more intriguing.
I'm curious about how you made the cut. A fine hand saw, some power tool, magical incantation?
Either you got lucky with the Nova screw or something has been improved. I have a dozen or so, most look like this:

The surface looks cast rather than machined, for example look at the...
I don't know, never used them before. They are much smaller than the wood trusses. What got me interested was a guy down the hill who had a big equipment shed put up a couple of years ago. Someone...
The screw appears to be machined from 3/8" stock. (I can't measure the part secured in the chuck without removing it but holding the points of the calipers close 3/8 looks believable, and Hitec says...
I know the original Jerry Glaser info and the Hitec both say hardened stainless steel thread, but I used a small triangular file and unlike a hardened tool steel tool, I easily scratched the end of...
I couldn’t find it on the Mobile style with a quick look. You may have to go the the Full Site (click at bottom of the screen, but the text might not be readable on the phone.)
I set mine up for...
Yes, I’d sit down with the truss manufacturer for recommendations. On my shop I used 4’ spacing, 2x4 purlins, a layer of OSB sheathing, and felt underlayment with metal roofing on top. I chose 5v...
It’s a rare day that I see an unwanted email in Gmail on my computers. Sometimes I’ll notice one on the iPad that goes away after a bit, odd, maybe when Gmail syncs all the devices?
Another odd...
Amazon carries the book too.
Also, this article on the Wood Database web site on mahogany mixups/substitutes is good: https://www.wood-database.com/wood-articles/mahogany-mixups-the-lowdown/

There's a shoe repair store not far from here that looks like that inside (except for the cigarette). I took a pair of otherwise good boots with the sole coming loose on one and they fixed it for...
Haven't seen that and don't know the answer. Plenty of memory in the machines? Might hit ctrl-shift-esc (Win10) to open the Task Manager and look at the memory Firefox is using on the Performance...
Good point. I haven't run into that for a long time, more useful perhaps with green, large, unbalanced, odd shapes. These days I rarely rough out a bowl, almost always turn dry wood and from...
Eric,
My good friend Pete Kekel still has Honduran Mahogony. If interested you can look up his web site: Big Monk Lumber or just give him a call at 859-653-3520 and see what he has in stock. He...
