Thanks, Patty. I used to wonder about that Burma Shave stuff and looked up Burma ,but failed to find info on their shaving cream
operation .

Barbasol sign boards were the last beacon of free News ….and always had a bit of Shakespeare-like comedy, with GOOD spelling.
In school I always resented him for getting great reviews for such...

Lot of the old books suggested beech , cuz it was plentiful and cheap. None of them suggested rosewood, mahogany, or the finest of
anything.

Patrick, most of the dowel plates are just too thin. Get a piece of scrap steel that is at least an inch thick, drill holes , champher.

I used to do a lot of lock miters , and I offered some help here that some found useful. But that was a long time ago before I retired.

One thing that stops the square corners from ripping off...

Thanks for new information. Might just call that old boss and tell him to go back to school . But I do think he must have found some
archaic , or just plain nutty ‘ home-made’ info.

There are lots of flowers and native plants that have for centuries made beautiful meadows. ‘twas the Home associations and lawn
mower manufacturers that ruined “the ecology”….

California is bringing in a lot of labor to cut lawns at low prices. That Newsome guy is a genius ! And using the tops off canned food
to cut grass instead of traditional lawn mowers will greatly...

Fine Woodworking is good at scary minutiae. Lots of work is done with just rub- glueing ….but that doesn’t clamp fear into anyone !

Yep , and my guess is it has a different name in every town. “Grass board”, “Thing a ma bob” “The stick” “that’s the stick you
borrowed from me 2 years ago ! …. and when are you gonna return...

Just googled and it says it’s derived from oil. The guy I worked for was careful about the big jobs , he had to be extremely
careful with specifications. I think a call to an Acetone...

I’ve used acetone , but I’ve been told it has some oil in it ! Pretty sure the info was good , and MEK is probably better. But haven’t
had any failures using the acetone . Probably won’t need...

You have to know where the Public Right of Way is . The fence has to be entirely on your property, or it’s an “obstruction” and you
might have to move it.

Those knuckle planes are fine users, Haven’t seen any for sale in a long time , much easier to use than those “ puzzle planes”.

I think it’s under-cut to make water drip off instead of running down the face of the building. Remember they were heating with coal.

Old timers used to always put planes side down not bottom down in storage they were frugal and careful to not scratch them ….
Today we have lots of old worn out tee -shirts and underwear. Hey,...

You can make the pieces long as possible, ripped square. Then hold them together, flip and repeat. Having a helper , helps.

I think the “slicks” are 3 inches wide or more.

I listened to Zappa , he was even better than Captain Beefheart . Died of prostate cancer . If I remember right ,he was telling Docs
he needed help and didn’t get any until it was too late.

Well, If Paul Harvey , ….(Old Radio Commentator )was still Around he would recommend Bar Keeper’s Friend. It’s made of a soft stone
that doesn’t scratch stuff like “ Other Bathroom Cleaners” . ...

Here’s the pitch ! Unless the material has pitch , I would ‘be sure I’m right …. then,go ahead !

Beautiful work , and a Clock is a wonderful companion. I bought an old one many years ago . Haven’t had it running for quite a while
because it needs cleaning and oiling . Did it twice myself ,...

Early tool Glam… ‘. and nothing more’. But really interesting odd ball piece. At an auction, it could incite a riot !

I’m sure they have some good stock, but I don’t like the “genuine” mahogany ‘info , It’s all genuine, let’s hear more about what they
have for sale . Has anyone here ever heard macrofyla...

I recently saw a vender on line selling small pieces at high prices. Google it. GOOD macrophyla mahogany is still great stuff, I would use that. A good horse is better than a newly painted...
