We have one full of antique family furniture that we don't have anywhere to use but don't want to get rid of it. They have a couple of small vents built in, but they're probably only good for...
Years ago my Dad came to where I was working and told me that the oil in my truck wouldn't touch the dipstick, and I'd been so busy that he changed the oil in it for me. I had just changed it and...
No problems with the two air compressors I run. They aren’t in an industrial process though. The John Deere hydraulic oil I run in the tractors is some darker than most of it.
Here's the link:

Petroleum based dye sold on Amazon for just that purpose in a choice of colors. Don’t know how to copy and paste a link on my phone.
Logo looks like the same company that made drill bits. I'm sure they will work fine.
I bought one of these packages because any thick stuff I ever used is not used frequently and it always sets up before I need some again. I noticed when I went to get this link that it says package...
I'm copying and pasting my post, no.30 in this thread. This is what others were agreeing with and saying that other manufacturers supply over-length bits to start with too.

I looked one up, but only lasted about 20 seconds into it. Just not for me to spend time on.
I've never watched a woodworking youtube video, or rather been able to watch one. I started on a couple, but I have no interest in watching someone stand there and talk, which seems like the way all...
I have a version of that tool. No way would I want to do a deck with it. It throws everything it takes off back at you. You need to be wrapped from head to toe and I only use it with supplied air....
My only experience was replacing some hinge halves of broken ones. Reproduction ones must have been cast from the old ones because they mated up just fine. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
I really like the Star M Japanese mortising bit and chisel sets. Not only are they very good quality, and hold edges good, but the drill bit comes long. It takes some careful fiddling to cut the...
Doesn't exist.
Any burr on the outside of the chisel makes both in and out aggravating. The gap is important. Set up correctly, it should be no problem. If I'm doing a long run, I keep an extra fine diamond...
We actually use and like that HP Instant Ink deal. I don't do much printing at all, but my Wife does a fair amount with the dog business. Puppy buyers get a small book that Pam prints out with...
I don't believe wood will be stiff enough for keeping long term tension in the cables. BIL used it on one of their porches some years ago that had 4x4 posts, and he ended up changing it all in just...
Sorry that I can't make a recommendation. I have a Drill Doctor that I bought probably 35 or 40 years ago, still in the Silverfish eaten unopened box. I also inherited a yellow Darex, and a Black...
I like those US General tool cabinets, but I didn't like that you have to raise the lid to open a drawer, so I disabled that function. If they don't move, I'm not worried about the drawers opening...
I know the feeling. I have one small storage building just dedicated to old boxes of nails. I spent an hour every morning in the main shop for a couple of months doing three things. Organizing...
Many thanks for that Fuller link!! I have this set that must be 45 years old and still fine. I'll be spending some money with them again.

Lucky that one was in a can. I just installed some of the canless retrofit ones in an old bathroom ceiling this past week. The attic in that rental house has blown in insulation in the attic. I...
I don't believe I've seen a nicer one, and that's one of the few times I've ever seen a chip brush used for its intended purpose.
I can find what I'm looking for usually easiest in our local Ace Hardware aisles. I gave up trying to keep enough here other than fasteners I use frequently.
