Hi James,

I have way to many hundreds of hours running small and large angle grinders.
Current grinder is a 4.5" Makita with variable speed on a dial and soft-start.

Hi Frank,

Topic Swerve -

Do you know of any high-CRI (90+) shop lighting that is modestly priced?
3000~4000K would work well for me.

Hi Bob,

As Mike and Julie note, you don't want to be overloading your pump circuit.
One way to deal with this is to have your pump on a breaker in your sub-panel.

Hi Curt,

The Ego mowers do a good job of mulching and they cut tall grass, though
you do have to go a bit slower than a corded electric or gas mower.

Hi Folks,

A wire nut is a compression fitting that changes the shape of the wires to
fill the gaps between them for extra contact area.

Hi Malcolm M,

I agree that all splices can only be in accessible boxes, not in conduit/wireways.

Hi Folks,

In my opinion, scotchLoks and their ilk are only acceptable for
non-important, temporary, low power use.

Hi Bruce,

I've been working with woods, metals and some plastics for about fifty years, so have a feel for what will work.

Hi Josh,

The Renaissance wax seems to last longer on jointer tables, etc. than Johnson's paste wax, so over time maybe not so much more expensive.
It would be great to see a test of various...

Hi Michael,

On occasion I've run in to the same thing with both manual and hand flattening.

Hi Folks,

I remember years ago reading that, generally, a beautiful boat will sail well, an ugly one won't.
Am guessing this holds true for furniture - good lucking furniture will stand...

Hi David,

Sliding dovetails fascinate me, particularly tapered sliding dovetails, for
the possible 'knock-down' aspect, and that they can be maintained over time,
with the addition of...

Hi Alexandra,

I suggest a thin, stiff top for better music box amplification.
'Aircraft' Birch plywood could be a good choice, though thin Redwood could work as well.

Your box...
