As stated by Jamie Buxton the paired 2x6 have the same stiffness as the 4x4. However the paired 2x6s have greater strength. This is more important. And as you suggested they can overcome local...

I am mostly a tool collector. I build things to hold my tools. It makes me happy when I have the tools to do something. It makes me unhappy when I know I have the tool but can’t find it. I have built...

"Bear in mind - those "in the know" at one time said a train could never exceed 25 miles per hour because that would cause all the air to be sucked out and kill everyone inside.
IIRC, they also...

I wonder how often that happens. The same thing happened to my kids and me. They gave us a couple of go to the front of the line passes to other rides.

I have a silver Honda Accord. I had to memorize the license plate since it looks like a quarter of the cars in a parking lot.

Yeah, but which half?

Thanks. Lots of good ideas. I am going to try the fender washers first.

I am looking for some pieces of iron or steel the size of a coin or thicker. I want to embed them in wood to attract a magnet. I haven’t guessed what to google.

When making a Christmas present for my daughter I bought 200% over the needed board feet. After cutting to length and width and around defects I still had a generous amount. But after I lined up...

I don't know how many times I have dug a piece of wood out of the trash basket that is just what I now need. Perhaps because I recently handled it.

I like drawers for below waist level and shelves above. I don’t have enough room to use pegboard.

A mouse with buttons for your MacBook laptop is cheap.

It depends. Put a thermometer in the attic and outside in the shade. If it usually hotter inside the attic then opening the skylight would help. There are attic fans that turn on when it is hotter in...

I would not make curved doors and three hinges.
How hard is it to push the sides to straight? If it can be done with reasonable force then straight doors and several hinges as suggested by Dan Hahr....

BB plywood does not expand enough to bind due to changes in humidity. That why I can use a two runner sled. In my opinion even a one runner sled is better than a sled guided by the fence.

What size can you store? If you can store 4x5 then cut half as 4x5, 4x3 pairs and half 4x4. Otherwise cut some as big as you can store and the rest somewhat smaller.

I agree with the idea of having a small charge for emails. It would reduce but not eliminate criminal emails and cause ads to be much more targeted.

I can’t see the attachment but there are two general rules.
Route in the correct direction for each section of the wood.
Take most of the wood off before making a final cleanup pass (or passes).

There are many online resources for how to survive a zombie attack. In general mobility is the key. Don’t try to defend your house or shop. The zombies aren’t likely to steal or damage anything. My...

Two things to remember.
At least one offsite backuo.
Occasionally test your backups. That is restore some file from each backup.

It looks good to me. With my skill level I would use just one fence. The router will pull to one side. It would be a bit trickier for me to get the two fences parallel and the right distance apart. ...

Heat shoud work with white glue

I use small blocks of wood with magnets embedded in them. It is easier to clamp when the blocks stay in place by themselves.

A torsion box type beam is much lighter for a given strength. 2x4 top and bottom, plywood sides. I would have 8 inches between the 2x4s. The plywood does not have to be thick. The attachment of...

If you have a dog, it will encourage you to go on regular walks, rain or shine.
