I am curious. I have a completed, well almost completed Morris Chair in my shop just waiting for the final finish. I have been debating using lacquer or polyurethane. I spray lacquer frequently,...

That is funny in a way. I never go anywhere without $50 - $100 in cash. Just for use at the places that don't take credit cards. We have a few stores that take cash and debit and old fuddy that I...
I thought all real BB came out of Russia and as such was banned by US trade embargo. Has that changed, or is BB being produced outside of Russia?
Introverted engineers getting a bit of revenge on annoying extroverts.
Just saw this and was frankly surprised. He was pretty young at only a year older than me.
I had the opportunity to take two different classes from him, one in 2004 and a second in 2006. He was...
Is there any way to download a large thread rather than going multiple prints? I would like to capture the entire Great Morris Chair thread in it's entirety but it is long. And if possible grab the...
Michael, the only thing keeping me from moving back to Montana is the winter.....OK and that four of my five kids live close in Utah. The winters can be, well difficult as you know. Yet the same...
I have lived in MT, UT, FL, RI, WA, UT, MT, UT, CO & UT in that order. I can say that as much as I would like (I think) to live in TN or KY for the weather it won't happen. All my kids are in the...
It might seems strange to ask this question in the 'Off Topic Forum' but I see the uses for chips as off topic.
I am wondering what other do with the perhaps bags or bins full of wood chips. It...
It feels like this is a reference to one of my favorite movies......which I just happened to watch this morning while doing some stretching.

Lowell - It sounds like you are getting bored not having projects to make. At times I find the same thing happening to me. My kids have most of what they might want and I find myself lacking...
I had to put on a new roof last year due to hail. Someone suggested I put on a metal roof as it would have a 50 year warranty and last forever basically. I asked why? I am 61 and will be dead...
I had the same experience about six months ago. I had just put on my dado stack and turned on the saw. The blades had enough time to just start to turn when the cartridge triggered. The blades...
If you haven't had a reason to notice, the price of all construction materials is going up, and is getting scarce. A friend who is a general contractor, mostly does concrete and asphalt work, tells...
I read that one of the biggest drivers in the price spikes of lumber is that supply has dropped a significant amount. Canada, like the western US, had many forests hit hard with beetles in the...
Thanks for the video link. That is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks all other too.
I am looking to make the bed of my pickup more usable, but after looking at the cost of the systems, I am confident I can make something better for much less. Anyone ever make a set of drawers that...
I am doing a mild remodeling job on half a duplex for designer I work with. She originally said to do the ceilings the same color as the walls, a medium tan color. Then just before I started, she...
A good friend of mine had parents in the late 60s living in AZ. They hit a small lottery, I believe in the $40 - 50 million range. He was an only child and had a great relationship with them.

I don't ever let that bucket overfill. Knock on wood, so far at least. I have thought about various ways to drain it out so it wouldn't freeze and be far from the concrete but no bright ideas yet. ...
The system produces about three quarts of water a day in the winter when running. I don't have sewer in my shop and I don't want to drain the burn water directly outside as is would likely freeze...
I am running the system at 20 psi. Again, the guys that designed the system said it would take about 12 - 15 pounds to to raise the water up to the highest point, which is about 7' on the wall. ...
I forgot to mention that I pressurized the system prior to pour concrete. City inspector required it to be taken to 100 psi and left there for a few days. He then returned and checked it. No drop...
Yes, it has an expansion tank. See photo below. I does over time drop to zero, or at least to 2 -3 psi. There are four loops, each about the same length. Each has a cutoff valve so it can be...
Answers to a few questions or points.
1. Pretty much this has been going on since I first started using the system about 18 months ago, but it seems like it is worse this winter than last.
