    That could be--during the manufacturing process. I am surprised the would need to poke a hole to build it, but it could be a way to cut costs... Though not homeowner maintenance cost.

    In case it...

    Bob, Thanks for the reference. I spoke to a guy at a professional plumbing supply store, when I was picking up a gasket for the rear outlet (wax ring is not recommended). He said he has seen it...

    here is a pic of the bottom of the toilet. the hole is in the middle, right between the floor bolt holes on each side. I guess what I really need is to figure out how to seal the hole so I don't...

    Right. Not an external trap. It doesn't seem reasonable as an actual clean-out. The ptrap is internal to the toilet. It is a rear discharge toilet, and i can only see the ptrap after removing the...

    My thinking was that other toilets--floor mount like mine--do not have this. Rather than run around the house pulling up toilets, I thought someone with deep experience would have a good...
  6. why a clean out plug in toilet p-trap?

    Help! looking for some knowledge of plumbing--someone who has seen a lot of toilets... intimate with the porcelain god, so to speak.

    I just removed a kohler toilet from the wall (wall mount, rear...

    Good feedback. Took me a while to get back to gather the comments. I think my next step is to get a thicker iron. And not worry further about flatness.

    flattening a cheap plane

    Home depot plane. Haven't done it before so I wanted to start with this plane before the LN. Very not flat, but it wasn't too hard to fix with 60-grit and granite surface. My question is about the...

    Jamie -- I guess you are right. Most of the pics in their brochures are for applied fronts, and they talk about inset drawers and overlay drawers. I had it in my head that I was going to make an...
  10. help with sizing Blum Tandem glides... am I reading this wrong?

    I spent most of my shop time last night scratching my head over this one... I can't rationalize the reality of the hardware to the on-paper specs. Can anyone with Blum experience help me out?

    I...

  12. cases with frame and panel sides

    I like the look of panelled sides, but accommodating the cross grain bottom and top seems to require floating the bottom and top, as well as any fixed shelf. I have used frames to create strength,...

    well... both batteries on the new Makitas died tonight... surprised me--I didn't think I had used them too much. Perhaps they were not fully charged to start. I will give them a full charge and...

    Larry's experience with the Rigid lifetime seems just plain wrong... How could a retailer do that? A 5-year warrantee is one thing, a lifetime warrantee is another thing. Different. Not the same....

    batteries vs. new drill: Makita?

    I have been saving my pennies (literally $20 at a pop), and I am now ready to either replace the batteries for my dewalt drill/driver, or get a new drill. I saw the typical retail price of $120 for...

    I think you are right... I like the idea of dowels... easier than scraping. I am going to do that. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks!
