Patty, when I first began using Min-Wax fast drying poly years ago, I had to thin it. Then I noticed it seemed to be thinner than previously. I began wiping it on without thinning it and experienced...

I have had no issues wiping on Min-Wax fast drying poly, full strength. I question if our local Ace hardware moves enough product that the product is "fresh" so I had been buying it from HD. When HD...

Find a method that works for you and use it. Which method is best? Best is subjective. Just a matter of personal opinion.

I just went to the VA Medical website. This should be no shocker but the eligibility requirements are quite complex!

Here's what I was able to copy from the eligibility portion of the website.

I am bimodal with both a cochlear implant(CI) and a hearing aid (HA). My sound processor and the HA talk to each other. 3 years ago when I updated my hearing gear on both ears, Medicare Medigap Plan...

Nice looking cabinet! I am sure it will be equally useable! Nicely done Michael!

Started the sanding process on one of the 3 pieces of the tabletop for the dining table I am building. I ordered and received a new Metablo 3x21 belt sander that has dust collection and some...

Brian, they do consider anyone who served a veteran. There are, however, different types of discharges. I proudly was honorably discharged and have my DD-214. There are several types of discharges...

About a year ago I was reading and found that Vietnam veterans qualified for VA medical benefits. About the same time, I was talking with a neighbor who came over to ask me about hearing aids. I have...

Nicely done Jim! I have been looking at one of those leveling systems for the table I am building. Boy, none of them are cheap! Some just more expensive than others.

I don't have a jackplane yet,...

Over the 41 years we have lived in this home, I have done several upgrades to it including adding a 30' x 24' standalone shop, always doing it by code and call for inspections as soon as necessary or...

As devices spin up to speed, it's not unusual for them to vibrate as they pass through speeds that are not their final run speed and to do similar things as they shut down for the same reason. It has...

Do a search for "rubber bushings". There is a bunch on Amazon.

Beautiful yards!

Maurice, I have watched this video a dozen times, at least. It was one of the things that inspired me to build one. My wife and I are at an age that getting the extensions up and down the stairs from...

Richard, again, you want to call them "geared or equalizer slides" but in fact they use a form of rack and pinion as I showed in the illustration.

Here's what I am using....

Jimmy, the reason for the wear strips is minimize any wear on the mechanism should there be any sag in the system. I might be making it overly complex. I can do that! :o

I won't tell you that I...

Richard it's a matter of which words you and I choose to use. Here's a illustration of a rack and pinion assembly.

That sure looks like what is you are calling a gear slides or equalizer...

I am building a butterfly extension table. The 2 pieces of the tabletop that will extend and retract are 36" w and 33" long. They will be connected to a rack and pinion wooden assembly so if either...

The table I am building has a 3-piece tabletop, with 2 pieces attached to a rack & pinion assembly and the 3rd piece butterflying up from underneath the table. On the top edge of the table frame, I...

Steve, I couldn't comment about others. I was gifted by a bunch of turner Creekers with the "Bomb" a Jet 10" EVS. I suppose you could search for the thread concerning the bombing run as they called...

Here's the two sources I found. https://www.osbornewood.com/products/table-slides/fixed-frame-table-slides-equalizer and https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/hardware/table-hardware

Steve, that Jet is a good beginner's lathe. That's what I was gifted and started on. If he lives near a Wood Craft store, you could purchase it through that store and have him pick it up and save on...

If it was me, I would use 2 similar sized wedges, place them parallel but on opposite sides of the arbor (capture the arbor shaft between them) and gently tap each one trying to apply equal and...

That's a heck of a score, Robert! Congratulations!
