Those are the ones that have been sharpened the least, and are close to their original length. The first is from the set that I purchased around...

Been using this further, including truing the edge of a ~10' 2X6. I set the fence to act a a kind of hold down to help keep the piece in place while...

I agree. I have two systainers, that the Domino and tenons came in. The tenon one is sort of OK, but takes up a lot of room, needs a big place to...

The angle of the hone is not critical, IMO. I put them in the drill press and apply the chisel by hand- easy to see what's happening.

I use WD40 after every use, & don't bother wiping it off- just run a few seconds and put the plastic guard back on. The pump sprayer refilled from a...

I'm guessing that you mean that Japanese planes are more complex than western ones, and so not worth using. I'm curious if the comment is based on...

I've had 8 1/4" and 10" Makita portable saws, and the 10" is way more useful in general utility, and blade selection/availability. Rip capacity on...

Looking good. There appears to be a bunch of math, followed by direct measurement.

I have planes with very close mouths, but these are some that I use the most, for heavy, and medium utility cuts. IME, final, high level smoothing...

Looks like the Dominos pulled out of their mortises. Probably would have held a lot more if those were glued. How thick was your popular board?

No, not really. A bunch of 1/2" brad nails from the front might work sort of.

Glue. (characters)

This is more of this weeks accomplishments, but it will be last week soon... I've worked on this property since the '80s, and built the...

One at least half a dozen mishaps over the years- mostly strippers. Still, that's only one every 7 years or so, on average.

I wouldn't be surprised that if you asked on Craigslist, someone would give you one. Lots of those on shelves collecting dust.

I have some of those!

I have twice traced dead circuits to the refer receptacle- vibration and/or cycling had work hardened the wire at the terminal causing it to break.

Reading a bunch of Youtube comments, one benefit that stands out is connecting stranded and solid wires together. In this test, high current was...

From the paper cited in another current thread on powderpost: "Prevention: ...Wood that is suspect should not be used, especially if fresh...

Other Wagu-type connectors are pretty much the same as back stab receptacles They often come on recessed light fixtures these days. They are...

I've long identified with "Pigpen". Pulling out my wallet at sales counters regularly leaves sawdust which must be brushed away and apologized for.

"...lyctid beetles typically start emerging from wood within a year of processing. Thus, infestations usually are encountered in new homes or newly...

According to the paper I linked, 3-5 days at 0˚ will do it. doesn't mention the oxygen aspect. Since the wood is finished, the eggs were likely...

Looks like powderpost beetles. Small enough that heat treatment could work. https://entomology.ca.uky.edu/ef616 "The pest control industry...

Did you try plugging the heater into a known good outlet? Did you try another appliance in the bathroom outlet? The most likely issue is a...

Another mention of the Delta 1160 saw. Compact, and quite capable (except for the tilting table, and lack of dust collection).

I spent all weekend helping my son redo the water pipes in his house. One spot is a tight squeeze- neither of us could fit until relieving the...

Yes. the screen will bow in the sides without.
