Again, thanks to all for the useful suggestions and experiences. I expect we'll end up going with an online auction, but per the moderator's suggestion above, I'll just mention a couple of the items...

Small price to pay. I'll do that. Then I'd like to come back to this thread with a list of what I've got. I'm not in a position to offer the stuff for sale at this moment (depends on decision of...

Thanks for the tip. It might have taken me weeks to figure that out on my own.

Thanks for the offer. I'm trying to figure out how to send a PM— apparently it doesn't work as stated in the FAQs. LFM

Thanks, JM. Your compliment led me to look up Flint the city to see if maybe we had an ancestor in common. Nah, Flint's named for the stone abundant in the area. I'm named for some flinty sea captain...

Thanks, everybody, for the thoughtful replies. They seem to confirm my main suspicion, that a one-fell-swoop sale would be a real long shot. Looks like my best bet will probably be to connect with an...

A relative recently died, leaving behind a complete shop's worth of stationary tools: saws, planers, shapers, sanders, dust collector, etc. It's mostly Grizzly, and probably around 30 years old,...

It's encouraging to see so many people have their TV usage under tight control (although it would be even more so if we knew these were all teenagers who responded!) I never watched any TV until I...

Yeah, clever, and strangely entertaining. Seems there's a similar contraption at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUOMmO09LvM&feature=fvw (w.better sound track.) Wonder who invented it? And one for a...

I'm experimenting with kerf-bending thinner hardwood pieces into a tight radius, where steam/heat or ammonia techniques (or multi-ply laminations) are not an option. For strength, I was hoping to get...

I did this, more or less. Started with a skil-saw plywood blade so worn out I'd been using it for cutting aluminum siding (i.e. running it backwards.) Nominal kerf (caliper across 3 teeth) was .08...

FWIW, it was the Oshlun SBNF-072560 aluminum-cutting blade that I was first looking at, with 60 teeth, a .075 kerf, and- to judge from the picture - a slight negative hook, which would be...

Also just came across the Freud Diablo DO760X. It's their economy line, I guess, but this is definitely a light-duty application. It's also ATB, with a .059 kerf. The 10 degree hook wouldn't be my...

Hey, thanks for the circular fret saw suggestion. I've skulked around the Stew-Mac site quite a bit, but was still unaware that there was such a thing.

.023 kerf would be nice, but seeing the 75...

I'd like to use my radial arm saw to cut a series of slots across an 8" width of hardwood, shallow (3/32") and the narrower the better. Considering using a 60-tooth aluminum-cutting blade, for its...

Thanks for the comments. I suspected the official numbers were for the extreme case; and I couldn't really see why a crushed UF molecule would be any stickier than a normal one. Especially since...

To test a construction technique, I recently laminated a 16"x8" length of commercial veneer to a similar size I'd sanded down (rather unevenly) to 2-ply from a 1/8" veneered piece, using DAP Plastic...

FWTW a few of my thoughts on the matter (which I was studying for ideas on enhancing my own dc system):

a) if Iturra thought it important, the flange probably did enhance dc efficiency, but
