I would recommend anyone to look for a primary care doc who is practicing with a "functional medicine" certification. From what I've been able to tell, these are generally ... general doctors...

Gonna be unpleasantly noisy in there; between the hard floors reflecting noise and everything rocking and crunching and splintering on that floating lauan. What about throwing down cheap carpet...

No woody jokes yet?

That ad is a frustrating example of a real common misunderstanding of the way advertising and selling works. And it's a direct result of people who are not advertisers or sellers by vocation,...

I'm uncertain about that cat, myself.
I was taught the "blow" method, but to me they just look different. Plane a couple different faces in the grain and red oak should look like ... oak. White oak...

Is the wood cupped at all? Hard to think 1 by boards that wide wouldn't be cupped. You'll just need to decide what finish you want for this floor and then proceed. Any local lumber yard or cabinet...

After 11 years, finally finished up a couple of lingering details on our bathroom/laundry room build (1 piece of baseboard and trimming 2 outlet covers to notch over some tile). I don't know why I...

Let us know how it goes and post pics!

I actually did a google search to find out what a caul is; turns out I've been using them for years, using the warped BORG board - some of which I got from the cull pile. (Cull/caul. Coincidence?)...

Thanks, David. I'm ignorant of machinists tools, but that looks like an excellent use for a dial indicator. I think I'll pick one up and give that a try.

Picked up the hardware and assembled a mobile base for my Unisaw. Fittingly, I used old wood for the base. Twelve years ago, I had torn the roof off a 70-year-old shed 10 or so years ago and as we...

The "Mr. Sawdust" table is a lot of work but if you plan to use your RAS for more than basic crosscuts you will want a non-flexing, dead flat table. The guys who do all the fancy cuts with their RAS...

Thanks for all the good input.
In fiddling around with the motor, I noticed that the centrifugal switch wasn't quite making contact with the rotating plastic/phenolic disc. So I epoxied a bit of...

I should edit my original post. After looking more closely at the frayed "netting" this is definitely string. Unless my understanding of conductivity is wrong, trimming off the frayed strings is/was...

I'm still not sure we're talking about the same thing here. Here are a couple diagrams I found. I'm still not sure that the "netting" is the auxiliary/starting winding. All the diagrams seem to show...

Thanks, David. Lol - yes, it's a dual voltage motor. But I will definitely try a different capacitor first. The one on there is in the 500uF range! This gives me hope. Man, it's easy to jump to a...

329965 Hi Frank. When I say I trimmed wires - I mean ones that were already frayed/broken and sticking out. There was already no continuity in anything I trimmed off - I just removed any portion...

Don't get me wrong - I love my DeWalt GP - but it has mass on its side and holds adjustments under pressure (so as not to turn boards into projectiles).

This situation sounds dangerous, Jeff. I think we're all having trouble understanding from your description exactly what is happening but I wouldn't plug the thing in. There is a reason RAS saws went...

The other day, I was puzzling through how I was going to lift up this old set of kitchen cabinets I use as a workspace. Your post reminds me that I don't have to lift it - I can just add a layer on...

I recently picked up an old (1953 or 4, I think) Unisaw. Some time ago, the motor had been replaced with a 1 hp Leeson. The motor was wired for 115v and the capacitor is new. Wiring is correct –...

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I didn't want to leave a bad impression about the Parks, since my last post was about expecting trouble after I got it home and it wouldn't fire up. The Baldor...

Kaleb, what do you want to do? If you want to work with dogs, chisels and hand planes your bench will be a lot different than if you plan to use it as a general work table. Height, depth and top...

Lots of interesting perspectives here. One person described using a small saw and contacting his jeans with no harm to the skin. If that had been a larger, heavier, more powerful saw with a more...

I have one almost identical (but not restored like yours.) They sold a lot of these old "battleships" for a reason. They are strong-framed, easy to adjust and maintain. Great find. Now you need a...
