If it goes past the TSA, I’m in. It could be my travel knife. Of course there will be plenty of pointy things that could be a weapon. For that matter, it wouldn’t be hard to come up with some sort...

I’m a big fan of the stuff from the early 20th century, particularly when it was over-engineered.
Check out the Jupiter pencil sharpener. I wish I had space in my shop for one of these things....
I’m curious, the navigation system learn routes from manual driving? When I’m driving home, I often use a particular highway and the gps in our Chrysler wants me to use what looks like the most...
Heck, yeah! I’m in northern Virginia so if I can get away, I’ll come get it. Let me know if it’s all there or even mostly.
I work with a kid with cerebral palsey. He doesn’t have the coordination to turn in the traditional way. A duplicator divides the turning into more manageable challenges. You design the template,...
I had a Vega table saw fence once and was really impressed with it. The Vega duplicator looks well made but ent made anymore. I also like the shape ov the carbide insert on the Vega versus the pointy...
Growing up, my dad had a table saw. It was probably made in the ‘40s. The cast iron table was maybe 20” square. 8” blade. No throat plate and a really crappy fence and miter gauge. I don’t think...
When we built our house, I had the builder omit returns in my basement shop. The two hvac vents down there do a great job of heating and cooling. The return is a filter size hole in the stairwell....
There’s a big difference between rfid and NFC which is what’s in your wallet. Both use the same underlying idea. A powered device (the initiator) transmits some sort of challenge to your card (the...
oops. Remington model 12.
I don’t care about the key. I threw the keys away. If I ever want to assemble it, an angle grinder should cut the cable. If that doesn’t work, cutting torch.
A friend gave me a cable lock so I had the gun out. It’s a Winchester model 12 22 long rifle. Based on the serial number, it was manufactured in 1920. That jives with my dads story. He would have...
I was aught to stand aside while the bench grinder is coming up to speed. I’ve never seen a wheel fail but not being in line with it is no bother.
Couldnt you stick a flat blade screwdriver in the slot and turn it just a bit?
Sonce we have veered off topic to beer reviews, I submit a story that is not urban legend because I was there. Full disclosure, I don’t drink and never have.
I was in college at Emporia State...
A relative of mine works in cyber security at a major corporation. He recommends the Brave browser which is wired up to protect privacy. It blocks ads as well.
one thing I notice about ads and my...
This came from a microbiologist down the street:
When she was in college in Colorado, students there wanted to brew Coors-like beer. So they wrote a letter to Coors requesting a sample of their...
Warren,
id never heard of dux seal and had to look it up. I would kind of like to add some soundproofing to my bandsaw. I see that dux seal is a putty. How would you apply it? Now I wonder what...
There’s been discussion of minors. My living situation is a bit unusual. We built a house on our daughters land in Falls Church. We have no minors in our house but there are 4 grandchildren in the...
I found a gun store in Arlington va. The guy says that the danger is pretty minimal (which I knew) and that he has some sort of cable lock I can put on it. He’s not comfortable working on a gun that...
Yeach, my bad. Mistaking caliber for gauge tells you hat I’m not really a gun guy.
I called the local police department and they couldn’t tell me anything.
I just read that Virginia requires safe storage. I have my dads 22ga rifle that he had when he was a kid. I don’t know exactly when he got it but it’s pretty old. He was born in 1908.
the gun...
+1 on staying away from bargain basement carbide insert router bits. Ask yourself where that insert is going to go when it breaks loose. In a planer, it’s going to rattle around a metal enclosure...
When we were moving from the Kansas City area to the DC area, we were discouraged by the high housing prices. I required a basement shop and we just weren’t finding anything. Land is so expensive in...
Where do pieces of medical equipment go? My dad was a dentist and I would love one of those lights. Or use the lift part of the chair for a workbench…
BIll,
I don’t see support anywhere on either the Darex or Drilldoctor web sites. Could you be thinking of split points?
