According to the paper I linked, 3-5 days at 0˚ will do it. doesn't mention the oxygen aspect.
Since the wood is finished, the eggs were likely already in the wood.

Looks like powderpost beetles. Small enough that heat treatment could work.

Did you try plugging the heater into a known good outlet? Did you try another appliance in the bathroom outlet?
The most likely issue is a tripped GFCI. The backstabbed receptacle suggests that...
Another mention of the Delta 1160 saw. Compact, and quite capable (except for the tilting table, and lack of dust collection).

I spent all weekend helping my son redo the water pipes in his house. One spot is a tight squeeze- neither of us could fit until relieving the framing at the waste pipe to raise one end 1/2"or less....
Yes. the screen will bow in the sides without.
There's not much you can screw up. To true the tables after cleaning up, if necessary, slipping pieces of feeler gauge shims into the ways of the outfeed table works well. Because it is rarely...
IMO, the reason for hollow grinding is make it easier to maintain the angle on thin blades and to have less metal to remove while honing The thick Japanese ones have a much bigger surface to...
Looks good. I read about a fence company up your way that sets (1 1/2"?) pipe in concrete and then end-bored posts are slid down over that and pinned. The posts don't rot in the ground and can be...
Yes, good point, however Cliff's pool of potential buyers likely contains almost none who recognize that maker name, or any other Japanese one.
I'd say if you want to sell some chisels, it's important to look at what the market is.
Chisels could be compared to wine- you can spend $$$ for wine, but it might not win a blind taste test, and...
Hida has prices on their website for their several levels of chisels, for some data points.
Some Ebay comps:

That may however, be a symptom of the problem of the iron tending to not stay in place, leading to overtightening.
I would bend it back with wood blocks and a hammer.

I had a scrub plane at one time and had that problem- seems like a poor design- heavy cut, larger forces, but only a small amount of friction holding the iron in place.
Maybe scuff or grind the...
I just bought a +$100 box of concrete anchors as I thought I was out of that size, and found a mostly full box after. Now there is an 8 year supply instead of a 3 year supply.
For me, It's often...
Wider treads, but loft ladders I have made were not that different in pitch from an extension ladder. At 60˚ like Bill Howatt's, the rails are 6" out of my reach when standing straight and the...
After many weeks of struggle to restore power at the rural property that I inherited from my mother/grandparents, I've stripped the insulation from the large wire salvaged in the deal.

I've built several over the years. Treads 4"-4 1/2", basically a ladder with wider rungs and attachment method at the top, and maybe additional grip rails.
Why not just use a ladder?
More nerdiness...

I use it as a block plane, with the ability to clean up a rabbet.
Derek those are lovely & have no doubt gotten some good use since then.
The smallest box in particular is quite handy to take to where you're working for selection & place to put the tools back...
I didn't know those were still made. In general, label makers i.e. Brother are the standard- multiple tape colors, print sizes, type faces, etc.. The labels last for many years in the weather.
It never occurred to me to lay the plane on it's side when adjusting the blade- I just go for an even shaving and the blade centered in the body.
Rafael Herrera makes good points.
These are all the boxes. The lower middle ones came in their box, I made the other ones. There are some others in rolls.
These things are sharp, & would not do well banging into each other.
