Studies say the lawn is arguably the largest irrigated crop in the US, with more acreage than the the next eight crops combined (corn, wheat, cotton, etc.).
Pumping water is the largest single use...
Riding mowers is a different issue, but push ones do OK. Here in California, lawns are dwindling anyway, mostly due to water. The guy that takes care of neighboring properties has a battery...
There's the band saw upgrade discussed elsewhere; got roped in to hanging and installing an exterior door for my son- I replaced his entry door a while back, & made the sill & threshhold from teak...
"The hydrocarbon emissions from a half-hour of yard work with the two-stroke leaf blower are about the same as a 3,900-mile drive from Texas to Alaska in a Raptor," said Jason Kavanagh, Engineering...
Looking good. Putting the fastener box on top of the sandpaper is not bad as the weight keeps the sheets flat.
There are two approaches to the grain orientation: rift sawn, and flat sawn. The flat sawn I believe is more stable, or at least moves more uniformly, and the rift sawn wears better. The vertical...
Interesting, but I don't see the connection to Japanese planes.
I've been looking for a larger, but not too large, band saw for a while, and one finally showed up that's a good fit.
About a mile from my house, I was able to buy, load, transport, and unload in...
IME, height is the main actual rule, with the rest to be worked out by the party or parties involved.
Property lines can be tricky and expensive. I built a house where the survey from one...

From the Craigslist post:
"I've been a hobbyist woodworker and collector of woodworking tools for the past 45 years and it's now time to thin the herd."
Bunch of other stuff too, including old...
I'm a fan of the tilde, since I often speak in generalities, or more precisely, approximatalities.
Oops, this was meant for 'neanderthal'.

I was going to say hot knife as well.
I have clients that wanted me to replace their seal-failed glass panes in custom made wood windows. A bunch of 6 & 9 lite upper sashes and more. Dozens,...
I made this to hold wood in the '80s, in probably half an hour, partly from concrete form boards.
It's been in seven shop spaces, and lately filled pretty much solid with 3-4' long scraps and stock....

For #66 but should be similar process.
Here's someone who replaced the contactor with a different switch.

This was part of a mixed lot of tools that I got recently. There appears to be a fracture in the cutting edge, which hasn't affected the light use it's gotten so far.
Three passes with a beading bit in a router table should do it.
Now that's a jobsite saw!
Nice Powermatic saw. I also wouldn't replace the switch, but then I probably wouldn't replace the fence either...
Personally I would say zero coats, although the solid-core door outfeed/assembly top is getting some finish over time from drips and rags used to wipe off finishes- it has relatively thin veneer. ...
A slick is by definition a "big chisel" so included, but I think we are talking about woodworking so not stone chisels, cold chisels, air tool steel, etc..
Richard's 4 lb in the lead, but maybe...
I'm getting a bigger band saw, & so working on the far corner of the shop, where the least functional stuff drifts to, including the two systainers mentioned upthread.
I measured the one that...
My entry:
11 1/2" long, 1 7/8" wide, just under 15 oz.
