Just one of my reasons for purchasing the Veritas version was the lower price. It is now about $250 lower.

After trying the LN #51 at a tool event the ease with which it cut through end grain...

Was looking at one of my regular search notifications (Stanley #4) even though two have been acquired recently. Just looking can be fun.

It can be real strange when something like this pops in:

Every jurisdiction; township, city, county or state may have different specifications. In the area where I used to reside the specification for asphalt on most through roads was 4" thick as measured...

It took some work to find the spot to look.

Candy wants to get gravel on our driveway.

I don't know how to let her know about gravel having a tendency to fly away as cars drive over it.

There may not be a good reason. The only thing that comes to mind is if the code at the time had neutrals tied to ground at the entry panel to homes.

One problem of the neutral wire is it can have a voltage different than the ground.

Even though at some point the ground and neutral are bonded the distance from ground, an imbalanced load and the...

Never thought about weighing mine. They are all users. No room in the den.

When curiosity about the weight strikes, they are looked up on Patrick's Blood & Gore.

When young my father often had me along as a helper when installing washers & Dryers. In those days most wall outlets were two prong instead of the three prong grounded outlet. Also in those days...

Perpetual motion machines are fun to watch. It always makes me wonder on where is the magnet.

The Buck Rogers eggbeater drill, #104, was made from 1915 until 1935. Its bigger brother, #308, has an odd situation. Oldtoolhaven.com says it started manufacturing in 1915 and ended in 1922 though...

The old side boards from my pick-up were replaced after more than a decade in the weather. My plan was to use them to make birdhouses. Now my thoughts have turned to the possibility of making some...

Something so beautiful, welcoming and comforting will never be a passing fad.

I don't know about passing fads, but Stickley, Arts & Crafts and Mission furniture is some of the most comfortable...

You are right Luke. Well after posting it occurred to me the question should have been, "Who Would Buy This."

It was an advertisement that popped up on a page being read and it struck me as insane...

Planes can be used to remove a precise amount of material from a select area....

What amazes me is not so much what is selling, but the prices.
