Sounds like you might have been ordering lumber for the school also.

These aluminum shimms are 1/64" thick. Convenient as I measure in inches and fractions.

Yeah, making a kill shot on a fast moving dog while missing the person or pet he's attacking (especially if that's the gun holder) is a low probability thing. Bear spray seems like a better option.

Measuring carefully still left the fronts just a little misaligned. Here's my approach to getting the left and right sides to hit the stops evenly.

This drawer could be pushed in about .050" on...

There should be no lubricant on the nut, spindle or washer. A toothbrush a rag and the right solvent will fix it. Dish soap should do it but since it is also a lubricant it will require sufficient...

Best advice yet. And a nice bag.

I make bits like that from bar stock. Sometimes need to make 2 or 3 to get a good result but learning is part of the reason I have a shop.

Mitering provides the most glue surface

None of the surfaces are strictly end grain.

Adding screws adds strength.

Screws can add clamping force to improve the glue up.

There are dogs in the world and sometimes they attack. That is not going to change. So here is my question. If I have no weapons and no objects within reach how can I best defend myself? Maybe the...

Don't miss out on the option of variable speed on a table saw. It runs much quieter, makes bigger, more easily captured saw dust, throws stuff more gently and is just a more mellow machine. And the...

One more way to go would be a birdhouse hinge. Just drive a nail thru each end into the lid. You will have to round over the back edge of the top. This works great for the front of a birdhouse so you...

Very handy stuff for misc tasks.

Agree on the small bottles. Mine last a year or so after opening but I am careful to open, squirt and close. No open on the bench time.

To moisten a big...

Jason that is a very nice looking chair. I like how you used the sapwood. The seat is beautiful.

This is a great idea, I'm going to make some. V seems easiest.

However you do it, make a few practice runs first. A drill this size will tend to wallow out the side grain. And if the grain is not straight and of even hardness it may vary from one test to the...

Top it with a baking pan or tray flipped over to shed the meltwater. Add peel and stick sandpaper if you need traction.

Just guessing here on the practicalities.

Installed 7 drawers with Accuride slides. Now fiddling or fettling them into perfect alignment. Feeling very patient with this task.

I'm having trouble calling it Maple based on the redness of the bark. But that may just be bad lighting.

Part of something heavier than a backhoe, dozer maybe or something from the age of steam.

The orange paint should help but I don't recognize the shade.

Likely lead paint.

I'm sure it makes...

Mitered, glued and screwed is probably the strongest joint.

A couple of things may help

Thicker boards of course but you won't want the extra height. Can you add something to the underside between the wheels? 2 x 4 or plywood

Apply the load to the edges...

For car tires I use a hand pump. Good exercise and quiet. I keep a compressor in the basement but it takes something more than one tire to motivate me to carry it up the stairs.

My tool cabinet is 74" tall and has 17 drawers. Straight grained KD Ash. It has no cross supports. All the drawers work perfectly after 20 years. If I built it today I would add a cross support about...

Or you can start with longer piece and cut off an extra 1/2" when making the miter cut.

You said the tree is 20 feet tall. How are they getting the high fruit?

Maybe you have persimmon locusts or bats.
