Apparently the gentleman can't read the note that says the crib complies with the CPSC specs.

I've kept some HSS straight cutters going for years with touch ups from a diamond hone. True the don't get real heavy use since I turn to my carbide bits as a first choice. The carbide also has been...

Thanks. I got mine and put in on top of the DVD player with the intention of watching it but forgot all about it until this thread reminded me.

About a year and a half ago Sam's Club had the drill for about $45. It came with a nice case and a lot of accessories. Four or 5 months ago I got a notice from Sam's Club that there was a recall ...

Has anyone found a way to make the stuff last longer in the bottle? I've tried squeezing the air out and storing the container upside down. It still hardens in the bottle. I like the way the stuff...

I have used left over latex paint (liberally applied) on ash, butternut and catalpa. I waited a couple of days after the trees were taken down and most of the surface moisture was gone from the...

The worst example of a IA teacher was the one I had in 7th grade. When you started the class you were handed 3 pieces of pine to make a bench hook. You had to hand saw the pieces to a set of given...

A friend has had good results using 'Simple Green' to remove pitch from saw blades. He says a brief soak and the stuff wipes right off and the product is supposedly more environmentaly friendly than...

Perhaps it is not obvious but the reason for sand as a fire extinguisher is that a magnesium fire must the smotherered. It burns too hot for other extinguishing agents.

Around here most schools have eliminated both Industrial Arts (my I.A. friends hated being called 'shop' teachers) and home ec. Those things are mostly confined to the county vocational school. I...

A 4 drawer oak filing cabinet (2 drawers high by 2 drawers wide with a top to hold a printer), a 4' wide by 3' high by about 5" deep wall hanging display rack for the wife's plates and a trestle...

I sorry but it is correct. Current in an AC motor is held down by the back EMF generated by the AC. The higher the frequency of the AC the more the back EMF. A 60 Hz motor winding is designed for a...

In England and Germany, Americans use 220 to 110 transformers but you get 110 at 50 Hz. A 110 or 220 motor induction designed for 60 Hz will overheat if run very long on 50 Hz current. Universal...

A friend and I went shooting to sight in a couple of rifles. He had his first pair of noise canceling muffs (about $60) and a second pair he had gotten at Harbor Freight (on sale for under $20). I...

On the old Badger Pond web site there was a link to an article by a college professor. He pretty well disproved the notion that there were explosion problems with home wood shops. I though I had...

After many trial cuts I finally got the height right on both of my Freud panel bits. I then cut pieces that I marked 'SAVE for setup". Now I adjust the height to fit the samples and away I go. Of...

I purchased a set of 8 Energizer NiMH cells plus charger for a digital camera and was very disappointed at their self discharge rate. They were less than a year old when I complained to Energizer...

I did a google search on PEX and it would appear that it is not considered suitable for air applications. It is also noted that it is for indoor use and if stored outside should be covered. If the...

My first suspect would also be the belt. Some years ago my jointer started to vibrate so much that it practically danced across the floor. A new belt smoothed things right out.

Hank, you sound like a lawyer with some sense. How sad there are not more people with JD's that think like you do. It might cut down on the 'not enough dead lawyer' jokes.:)

I don't think you need to laminate both sides but I would seal the underside with paint or several coats of varnish. This would, I think, prevent moisture from being absorbed on the underside which...

You might try a boat repair shop. I found a 2"X8"X9' teak plank at a cabinet shop that had formerly done boat repair. I called in the Fall and found they had teak and said I be there to get some in...

My thought as I read your question about spacing was "if the vise has 6" of travel then I would put the holes at about 5"". That should ensure that you always have enough range to tighten up on any...

For smaller work I have a set of French curves that come in handy. When I built my wife a wall mounted 3 shelf plate holder, I just played with the French curves until I got what I wanted for the...

Because of the pressure rollers in a planer any cup or twist in the board is flattened out and when the board exits the rollers the defect returns. A jointer will knock off the high spots of the...
