Another option is to buy a wood tap sized to your spindle and make your own. You can leave roughed out green turnings on it. I use SS lag screws, mostly 3/8" but have used smaller ones as well.

How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive: A Manual of Step-by-Step Procedures for the Complete IdiotThis book is updated and still available and covers anything you would ever need. My experiences with VW...

I use the item pictured. You can make the radius anything you like. I first establish the rebate edges with a wheel marking gauge and use the tool to remove waste by starting very shallow and tapping...

I paid $783 for a 3HP Enlon saw in 1993 and purchased the Enlon because it was about $50 less than the Griz. I subsequently found out the saws are mostly identical.

I finish mostly with shellac and save the remnants. When I plane the top every three or four years I use the leftover shellac and lightly sand the finish with 60 grit paper to reduce slips. This...

The reproduction Stanley 750 chisels are good for the money. I use them and have no complaints about sharpness or edge life. I also have some Narex (not Richter) and they are about the same as the...

I use WellerMart super blonde almost exclusively for finishing and dewaxed orange for shop tools, etc. They ship quickly.

We have similar sized cars from 3 makers and I am not in love with any of them. But I cannot say anything bad about them either.

We purchased an Ego 21" mower this year and have been happy with it. It is light enough to push easily around tight corners and move backwards. It is rated to last one hour and it approaches that. It...

The handle angle dictates bevel up or down, but either works. Curtis Buchanan has a sharpening video that will tell you what you need to do extra for using bevel up.

I made two benches based on this idea. I used larger section legs and stretchers to get some extra weight. I put wheels on one. It is labeled as $175 Workbench but will probably cost more now. I used...

Spectrum Supply sells a blade called Kerfmaster that I have used for resawing with success. I have used the 1/2" X 0.022 3/4 tooth. These saw easily as well as the wood slicer at a much lower cost. I...

This is old so the costs will be more. You can adjust it to any size you desire. I built two along these lines and have never had an issue. I used leg vises vs what he recommends here because I had...

Hey. Mine was done by a contractor who installed tapered strips from the high to low end on about 12 inch spacing. He then used a grout made for large machinery bases to pour and screed between the...

I use Kerfmaster blades from Spectrum Supply. I originally bought them to try to get away from the high price of Woodslicer. These are 0.022" and cost about half of a Woodslicer. They perform just as...

Agree with using True oil. Scratches do not show white.

There are motor current draw tables on line. You can compare your nameplate data and supply voltage to get a better idea of what your motor draw should be. Varying supply voltage at your house could...

One for each child and a few others for presents. First one maybe 15 years ago and last this past winter....

I have a Stanley plane I can't identify. It is similar in dimensions to a 5-1/4. The only marking is "Stanley: across the toe. There are no casting marks. The frog is adjuatable fore and aft, but has...

Thank you, Jim. This is more than I have been able to fined. Your comment that one bolt has to be loosened while the other is adjusted is what I have experienced. From everything I have seen on this...

I'm looking for some advice on adjusting a Sargent 708. It seems to me that the top piece (unsure of name) floats on the blade and must be adjusted by pushing it up and down with the blade not in...

I'm unable to figure out how to attach a photograph.

I looked closer and one leg has "Vocational School" and the other has "Charleston W. Va". I see no other markings. ...

I have an old set of very nicely made dividers marked "Vocational School". Has any ever heard of these?
