I Don't Have a Cell Phone

My grandson who's 13 thinks I'm really odd. He has no idea how well people got along before cell phones came to be. I don't feel the need to make or receive calls when I'm not home, so I'm happy. We keep a land line for the faxing I need to do and we pay $22 a month for it. Is there a cell...

It seemed to take longer to grind than my other blades, and after that is taking much more time and effort to sharpen on my stones. I...

Rusty Jointer still good?

I have a chance to buy a Craftsman jointer that looks like the fence & Bed are rusty. I haven't seen it in person, just a pic, don't have much info other than it belonged to someone's father who died & he rarely used it, and they aren't really interested in woodworking/carpentry. I thought I...

That is doubtful.
