The label appears to read the year 1749 which is interesting because Stradivarius died in 1737. I'd take it to an antique dealer for an appraisal to be sure.

If you have a Table or Radial Arm Saw you can make progressive cuts to exactly the dado width you want. You can also sneak up on the correct width with an undersize router bit, say half inch in this...

USN, Submarine Service '61-'69. Thanks.

Bill, I disagree. Running a power tool on 220V is more economical in the sense less power is wasted heating up the wire, connections and possibly the tool. The simple formula is power = current...

Since a 220V tool draws less current for a given wattage there will be less power lost to heating the tool, wires and connections. The loss will be greater as a 115V tool approaches the maximum...

Dennis, when we bought our house it was all electric and had a heat pump heating-cooling system. Everything was OK until it got really cold out, then an auxilialry electric heater in the air handler...

Mine is a 16" plywood square with 1X2 rails at that meet at 45 degrees at the bottom center. It has a channel on the back thats rides the saw fence.

Why bother when they can be found at most Flea Markets for as low as $10.00, that's where i got mine.

Assuming the quality would be no better than the better imports, the price has to undercut the competition to tempt me.

I made mine from a 1" walnut dowel, tapered with a spoke shave and sanded. I put a fairly standard grip on mine because it's more comfortable and easier to control.

I was picturing solids to filter with a screen or sintered trap. If it's all sludge your kind of stuck with a fabric or paper filter I imagine.

By the way, Simple Green is great for cleaning...

Art, we have a cathedral ceiling on the upper level of our tri-level and the thermostat is on the middle level. That configuration makes it cold on the loser level and hot on the upper level. It...

To build on that idea you could add a cleanable trap ahead of the filter to get the larger stuff and prolong the filter life.

How fine are the particles you want to filter? You aren't likely to get the solution clear with an automotive grade filter but you will get the big stuff out. To do better you need a filter rated in...

Submarine service '61-'69 including training time. My old boat is on display at Naval Serviceman's Park, a museum, in Buffalo.

I haven't seen a new episode in about a year. I quit watching that and the woodturning program as well a long time ago. The only the pseuo-design programs seem to survive. Probably have a bigger...

Actually the hinge screws are in shear, the shelf is a cantilevered beam and represents an overturning moment. That design looks fine as long as you don't lean heavily on the edge of the shelf, it...

Thanks Gary, have to plan a long weekend trip again.

Last August around the 19th I was at a wood crafts show and sale near Amana Colonies, Iowa. Does nayone know of this event, what it's called and when it is in 2006???

Mark, I don't believe there is any measurement in a wood shop that requires anything better than a HF dial indicator. It's great to have names like Starrett scattered around the shop but why not...

When the project calls for a slotted screw to match the existing hardware, I use them. I don't care for them either, must not have the right assortment of flat blade screwdrivers since I never get...

I work out of one-half a two-car garage and need both mobility and quality. I have a pre-Ryobi Rigid contractor's saw on their hercules base that cuts very accurately, holds it's settings, including...

I built and use the jig Randy mentions and it works just fine. I believe it cost me on the order of 6 or 7 bucks. I have a Woodcraft 2 speed 8" grinder on it.

I like to understand who paid for the studies, how they were conducted and exactly what was studied when I see results that contradict widespread beliefs. I might be cynical but I've seen a lot of...
