The only professional Hockey Game I ever got to see was in Tampa. The Lightning Vs the Canucks. Tampa won, it was weird. We happened to be sitting with a Canadian co worker, I told him I felt bad....

That is cool! Here is the toothed surface zoomed in (in case others are as slow as me in figuring out the zoom feature). I have used the corner of a file as a scraper to create tooth on plastics that...

I see "Tube End Leveling Mounts" but not in 5/16 and plastic wont be up to the task. I would try welding a Tee nut or washer with a nut welded underneath to a ferrule made from EMT or tubing. This...

The two gentlemen I learned from both have sanding machines for thicknessing so big planes are not used much. Here are images from the same page in the Guitarmaking book....

I am not sure if this applies to working with veneer. I have yet to create a toothing iron for any of my planes. A book I have refers to toothing as process to create a visual guide while creating...

We used it at the mandolin factory for backs and sides. I have not tried chiseling it other than to carve a little without a mallet. The pieces I have had all had cracks. There is often waste...

Norberto Coutinho, I have read some of that Gentleman's posts in the archives. There is a lot to learn here at SMC.

Brazil = Yes, we have snow

I tried Google Lens and learned that nettles are thriving in the garden. I have had several fun phone calls from the parents as they sit outside alongside their smart phones while they all listen to...

Its rugged work and a difficult thing to get correct. The fuel gauge and tire wear are good indicators of how well you did. We have an old fashioned alignment and frame straightening shop in town...

Here is an interesting product offered by Menards. It won't do much to sound-proof the building but would be a bright and tough insulation protector.

I sprayed a lot of Deft "Clear Wood Finish" over the years , mostly satin. It is a very soft finish. I switched to M.L. Campbell for better durability.

My experience has been that 400 may not be coarse enough to get the damage gone and its not fine enough prior to rubbing. You can certainly try starting at 400, if it is not aggressive enough go to...

This thread has me thinking about that idea too. My 14 inch bandsaw is on 4 swivel casters. I have never tried sawing by driving it around. I can imagine that working if it moved much more freely and...

That is excellent and outdoors is a great place for it. That old pillow block and shaft is a dandy. Does it have any markings that indicate a brand?

Here is a visual of what the yuck that comes...

Is there a router capable of cutting 3 inches deep? I wonder if one could be used in conjunction with a clever guide fixture that could be clamped to either side of the 6 X 12 (using multiple passes...

Did I hear the siren of an emergency vehicle pas by not too far away from the Canadian couples cabin site? The thought of packing in concrete mix makes me sore just thinking about it. I hope it was...

Those videos of CNC bandsaws come to mind. A portable CNC bandsaw that clamps to the beam would be a neat invention. Its s too bad budgets force themselves to be considered.

I have an interesting pine tumor that I may need a chain saw for. I have a little 18 volt Ryobi chainsaw that would be a good candidate for lathe work. It is very toy like but has done some...

The multiple tripped breakers does sound like you had a lightning strike. Did you have a storm? Lighting damage created several very puzzling problems for us. The strike at our house made its way to...

Wooden Boat has an active Community section that includes classifieds. Creating a listing there would be my suggestion. There is also Boat Angel, they operate mostly on eBay. After winning a Boat...

Life is rich and full! The old analogue electric meter we have as a novelty on our grid tied PV system came from eBay. It was not very expensive....

I sure hope I do not need long ones again. My biggest bench is 5' X 9'.
10' and longer clamps were helpful for big mantles and architectural wood work. Pipe is hard to replace for those types of...

I have come full circle on pipe clamps. I thought for a long time that I would eventually upgrade to I beam clamps. 25 years ago I had two co-workers show me how to use a window or a light table to...

The Eastern White Cedar shingles were a joy to work with. YouTube's algorithm has an easy time getting me to click and put this video in my up next. There was a thread not long ago that showed a...
