At work, my guys run two 23" monitors and one 19" 4:3 monitor. They have Dell Latitude 7240's running Windows and a docking station. The person who set it up tells me it won't run four because the...

I got my BS the traditional way at 21, straight through after high school. I then entered a field where degrees were not required, or so I thought, until I was 35. Then I was up to become the...

The old house in NJ was 2100 sq ft on a half acre, four bedrooms for three of us, plus cats. When we moved to Texas, we got a 4100 sq ft, five bedroom house on postage stamp lot. First floor master...

We used to go to Maine every summer (New Harbor), but haven't been since we moved to Texas. This year we are driving up to NY, picking up our daughter, and spending a week at Lake George and a week...

Cool to 78 in the summer, heat to 73 in the winter. Separate zone upstairs is one degree warmer. I live in Texas. When we moved here from New Jersey seven years ago, we cooled to 68 and heated to...

While I am undecided about GMO food, I would like to point out that GMO e. coli and yeast (depending on manufacturer) produce the human insulin that keeps Type 1 and many Type 2 diabetics alive with...

Yes, and yes. And sending support jobs offshore. And servers well past normal service lifetimes. We have no rule, however.

A fair point, but the company I work for has 114,000 employees, and that stuff can add up. Also, the original objection was not the volume, but the distraction to the recipient.

We once had an...

I will send a "Thanks!" email on occasion if I received significant help, but never as a "reply all". Almost never a "You're welcome". That's just a distraction.

It's been pretty much proven that there's no health effects from living near a power line http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/emf.html However, that doesn't mean everyone else is...

You're not alone. My job is highly stressful (I'm an IT manager), and I am just too tired and irritable when I come home for turning to be enjoyable. I live in Texas so it is too hot to turn in...

I had a set of these that came with my Craftsman lathe in 1989. I was a rank novice, of course, with no DVD's, no internet, and few books. I found the tools to be of decent quality. I really liked...

Very nice! The needle storage is a smart touch.

And for those without metalworking facilities, this http://bestwoodtools.stores.yahoo.net/onepihetachr.html is available. Not cheap, but cheaper than a machinists lathe.

Wood Turners Unlimited.
I regularly check AAW and WR, and less often WC and SMC. Occasionally WTU and IAP.

A couple less common things to consider:

If you are using your drill chuck in the headstock, and the chuck is connected to the shaft with a Jacobs taper, that can also come loose, until less you...

I solved that annoyance by grinding my "skew" straight across with only one bevel. I know that technically makes it a bedan, but I use it like a skew, with the bevel down. I also have a bedan that...

I had the same problem, and discovered the nitrile glove method Tony mentions. I removed the mandrel from the spindle first, and a couple stubborn ones required a glove on each hand. I did ruin a...

I have a similar problem. I believe I know the cause but the parts are too rich for my blood. Is the sensor that tells the ice-maker that the door is open function correctly? When you open the...

There is also an Android phone app, not free however at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodturnersresourse.stavecalc

On the ethical question of how donated items are sold, if I donated a bunch of stuff as way clear my house and do good at the same time, I wouldn't care how they were sold as long as whoever I...

I know a fellow who has Essential Tremor. He has great difficulty sharpening without the VG2. Otherwise, VG is what I have, as it seemed to me more flexible.

I like the look of Cape Lookout best, but I think the narrower form of Cape Canaveral would be more convenient as a pepper mill. There are lots of other lighthouses you could make. For a real...

Do they actually intend to put books on these or "decorative accessories"? A couple of those shelves are rather long to hold books unless they are built very strongly or firmly attached to the wall...

So now you need to make another one...
