Copper is good.
Yes, Type L.
You’ve probably researched this Chris, but I’ll still add… Slope to drain, take all drops off the top of the pipe, etc. Lots of info on this here and at FWW too.
Chris, you might consider that on the scale of a basement shop you could run the majority of your black piping with lengths that come off the shelf. The relatively few (?) pieces that would need to...
Lookin’ good Tyler,
And I really like that wiring chase under your box.
‘Round these parts I am still shoveling snow and chipping the ice below it from our welcome melt. Maybe tomorrow I can get...
Fascinating thread Belinda…
And John Schreiber, I appreciate your observation of the powers of modern sorcerers. Alongside Clarke’s observation, is Crichton’s concept of “standing on the shoulders...
Thank you Keith, Dave, et al, but I cannot see the Second Amendment guarantee of the citizenry’s right to bear arms “As a well regulated Militia…” as an invitation to overthrow the US government by...
Keith,
“…the only protection”? “…our means of protecting our right to overthrow the Government if necessary.”?
I have long thought that the checks and balances of the three branches of the USA...
I undid em myself at a very young age, Ken.:cool: :eek:
Hey Steve, speaking as an old dog myself, I can see how your canine friend my not be quick on learning the new tricks you have to offer. If you are still young enough to learn new tricks, I suggest...
John, great thread, and I sympathize with you for your problem. Between this thread and another I have been grubbin’ my belly so hard cuz of laughing that I really thought I was gonna crowk.
I...
Nice Bob,
Better than Dali.
Gail,
Please accept my congratulations on your successful marketing effort! I don’t watch TV, but recently someone told me that it is really big these days. Should this be true, many, many...
Cliff, assuming equal tolerances between tenon and mortise with Domino and slot mortiser, and assuming that the joint is glued, why would a longer tenon be superior? Were we talking moments on timber...
Rob, nice work. I particularly like how the mirror frame is set on two planes, and the grain is terrific too!
I haven’t mustered the moxie myself to work wood with a drawknife, but admire you for...
Cool jig!
Larry, I tried googling and yelling but could not find Fred in NC.
Could you provide a link or company name, please.
Thanks
Wayne Asteser has been politely asked on more than one thread to elaborate on his views, yet he remains entrenched in his position of brief slights against posters. I suggest that he be removed from...
Tom, that is an extraordinarily beautiful case for your inherited compass. While I hope you find a need to use it someday (drafting is to CAD as Neander tools are to CAD-CAM), I am glad to see that...
Keith, I admire those clamps… nice work, even if you powder coat them white and don’t gold plate them, they look like they will be a nice component in your beautiful shop.
I used to weld a lot…...
One more time please Jim… Who is that skinny longhair wearing a white Creeker shirt??? He sorta looks familiar.:cool:
Glad you all had a good time.:)
Gosh Will, I feel your pain.
One thing I have discovered is that Home Depot has an extraordinarily generous return policy when an item is brought in through the door. Simply present the substandard...
Trick photography.
Ben,
For obvious reasons, “grainery” is a woodworking term. The derivation of “granary” is from matriarchal societies where the eldest of the women were responsible for storing and dispensing food...
Anthony,
Use the 5/16” drill for your pilot hole before you seek another solution to your problem. The 3/8-16 tap you are using must have material to cut threads into, and a 23/64” drill leaves...
I have the feeling we’re lucky that Al wasn’t around in the “Thong Days”.:eek: ;)
[EDIT] Al, just search Tyler Howell and thong ifin' you want to get the joke.
I second that.
And Travis, I agree with you in that people had best be aware of the capabilities of their machine as well.
