My father died of a heart attack on the floor of an oil rig in 1972 6 weeks before his 48th birthday. I am the oldest of 6 and still had 3 siblings in HS at the time. Now in my mid-70s, I am grateful...

A fellow Creeker, Tyler J. Howell's mother lived to be age 92 IIRC. He said her favorite saying was "Getting old ain't for sissies!"

I am finding her opinion appears to be correct. :eek:

I used the William Ng 5 cut method and am happy with results. Use whatever method you have faith in. There is no right or wrong. It's purely subjective! It's merely a matter of personal opinion and...

Running the grain across the table top and using breadboard edges has been a really extensive learning experience for me. The table top is in 3 segments, 2 are the extending/retracting segments and...

I completed my first ever breadboard edges on one of the 3 pieces of the tabletop for the dining table I am building. The first one was a real learning experience! I mean a REAL learning experience!...

I've gotten them but never used them. It seems like I have no needs when my birthday occurs.

My 40+ year old Stanley combination square is having difficulties and I am in the middle of a build. Though in the past, I have been able to make minor repairs to it, I think it's time for a new one....

I have borrowed tools and when I do or have, it always came back in good shape. One time a neighbor loaned me so pruning shears and I broke them. I bought a better pair to replace them and gave them...

Disclaimer, I have never used a Festool sander or any other Festool tool. I have the Bosch and I have a Dewalt. After reading a review I bought the Bosch and have since retired the Dewalt. It's in...

Glad you were able to get it flattened Mark! As suggested, wax it and enjoy!

I attended a Mississippi "in-the-ground pig" BBQ among a bunch of neighbors outside of Meridian while stationed at the NAS there. I helped dig the hole, line the pit, make the coals and lower the hog...

As someone said, heal completely and quickly!

We live in a town stair stepped up the side of a couple hills. It's 800' down to the main part of town. Most of my driving is in the mountains. I am at 87,000 miles + on my Honda Pilot and on the...

Great photo Lee!

That does include the printed subscription too, IIRC. I find it, the videos and access to their previously published magazines invaluable. I paid the $99.

I'll bet you could order one from Amazon.:D

As my experience and types of projects have grown, so has the need for certain changes grown in the makeup and layout of my shop. I truly enjoy the time I spend in my shop.

Last week we mowed, trimmed and I put down soil sterilant on the driveways.

In the shop, I got all 3 sections of the tabletop sized to final dimensions. I got the 6 pieces of breadboard ends sized...

This afternoon I completed mortising the 6 pieces for the breadboard edge on the 3 sections of the table top. Wow! What a mess that 3/8" straight cutting bit caused! I will be putting a 3/8" upcut...

Mark,

If the fence needs to be jointed, take it to a local machine shop. That is something they should easily be able to do.

I watched as a PA put 13 stitches in my right wrist and then she said "I don't like that number!" and then found a place to put the 14th stitch. This caused by a router that had been turned off,...

Mark,

First, have you checked the fence to insure that it is straight, not twisted?

2ndly, there has to be somewhere one could place shims though, personally, I worry more about the fence...

I'm in the middle of a build. Though I have an Oneida DC on my larger tools, my portable power tools have always lacked DC. I look at my shop right now, and I could easily spend a couple hours just...

A few weeks ago, the mowing season began here. While in the shed, I was looking for something and checking the open containers on the bench in there and I noticed a right-angle adapter. Looking at...

Nicely done Mark!
