Nails may be nails (other than HF) but guns have really gone downhill. I remember saving for a long time to buy my first pneumatic gun. I wish those old workhorses were still available. Parts are...

Black locust is very peel-able. The sap wood is very thin and is not a problem. I can get one peeled with an axe and draw knife quicker than I could get one centered up on the imaginary lathe that I...
I will tell my Instrument maker friend to take a look at your post. Looks a lot like a Violin, Cello, or Bass scroll.
When the center tap of a transformer is zero volts, it is not a ground or vice versa. My Brit and European friends say "American 120 volt circuits are a cheat".
For scarf joints in material less than 3 1/4 inches I use a purpose built sled as described by Roger and Chris. I get a light prof joint right off of the saw. If needed the joint can be touched up by...
One of mine that gets a lot of use is a very rustic wedge maker. I made it 20 + years ago when I was out of shims and late for work. It keeps evolving. Every time I need a new angle I add another...
Maybe slide some stickers under and put a fan on? Masonite has quite an ability for wicking moisture.
Ground and neutral should only be common at the main. Observing this rule is becoming more important.

Be safe.
For me a miter gauge is a necessity as well a sled. Purpose built sleds provide safety, repeatability, and accuracy for creating parts that require a difficult and dangerous cut. In a production...
Sleds are very important for the things I make. All of mine are home made.
There are several tasks that I can not find another way to accomplish, other than using robots.
I wonder if it could be a bridge part? I fished a not too dissimilar looking hunk of steel out of Salt Creek, under a bridge demolition on Old Bloody 40 (old US 40).
Driving at night is back to normal for me now that I have had both of my cataracts removed. Dealing with discomfort from dust, pollen, and worst of all fiberglass is a new challenge. I can drive at...
Swirls from fresh 100 git on a R.O. go deep. It is very difficult to get rid of them. I am sure they can be measured, A few ten thousands of an inch... they do not go away when followed by finer...
It seems like a 1 axis problem?
I am working on a way to slow down our 1983 LT 30 WoodMizer. One idea is to use a variable speed, heavy duty drill in place of the feed motor.

I do not have a whole lot of experience with 3 phase. I did work in an old building that still had its own transformers from before WW II, There were 2 legs that would provide 120 volts to neutral...
I am trying to get educated on CNC. It may be beyond my ability. I wonder if an analogue duplicating lathe could work for drum shells? It might be several thousands of dollars less expensive?
I like...
Nice! It looks I bit like something I made in the past. Mine only held 3, the Daisy, the Crosman, and the Winchester 20 GA.
What do the Pirates and Michael Jackson have in common?
They all wear gloves for no apparent reason
My random orbit and orbital sanding starts at 120. Pryor to 120 all sanding is done with the grain. Bigger RO sanders leave bigger swirls.
Welcome Greg. If the woodworking shoe takes a moment or two to break back in look for Case garden tractor. They are a worthy distraction from the couch, Woodworking is equally rewarding.
Excellent! You are a friend indeed! I have a hard case that I put pannier hangers on for transporting instruments on a bicycle.
Silicone is one of the few sealants that will be food safe.

Bills info + A thread gauge will help.
