Then to represent the "if it ain't broke" end of the spectrum:

this has been in use since the '70s, made from a scrap of countertop (remember 'harvest gold'?) with the router screwed on. I used...

Couldn't this thread have been just as well titled....?

Using Ziracote. Not good!

A tee nut that size is available at pretty much any hardware store, cover with a copper pipe cap or equivalent, or a coupling nut epoxied into a hole in the broom handle or paint pole..

Clean the cracks including with solvent, glue/ clamp w/ shaped cauls, let in butterfly keys on underside, reattach top with buttons where needed. Live with remaining cracks/gaps, possibly sealing...

A quick count shows at least 20 channel-locks, in eight locations. One time while crawling under a house, I found a pair that I had lost ten years before.

Good used condition, cleaned and lubed. Weighs 3 3/4lbs. 16" long. Chuck has some wrench marks.

I've had a fully stocked work van for many years & would go crazy if I had to try to predict and load up everything for jobs. Larger jobs have their own screw guns, saws, etc. so many things are...

Try a handsaw. If that works, a circular saw should work. Or a sawzall.

I see there is a scrail- across between a screw and a nail that can be driven with a framing nail gun.

Depends on what kind of work you do, & how much you sweat. In an air conditioned office, a wallet will last. Outdoor work in a warm or wet climate, maybe twice as long as the work boots.

Drilling a number of smaller relief holes might work better than the 40mm one.

Lotta tongue biting just now...

Happy Birthday!!

Jack, to be blunt, I think that statement is meant directly for you.

I've not found a time to listen to podcasts. Don't drive much and mainly use the phone as a phone. I used to climb a lot & listened to some while driving to the mountains, but they had been put...

At least ten years. I like a tri-fold, always in the front pocket. I try to get a spare if I see the right thing.

I identify with 'Pigpen' from Peanuts comics, as there is sometimes a small pile...

Part of getting good performance from a chisel is getting to know it and then sharpening to it's best angle and edge condition, as well as often multiple sharpenings to get past the initial material,...

Yes, that was definitely a cringey part...

One of those was for sale on Craigslist near me recently. Good for decorative corbels, but it's been years since the last job with those.

Kind of cringey but harmless, something to watch if you're desperate for woodworking content, something to make if you're desperate for material for your Youtube channel.

9 times out of 10 the problems are at the ends & connections and not in the middle of a wire run, so carefully check at both ends, including for nicks where the wire exits the box.

If you do...
