No kids here, and not nearly that many blocks :)
I'm messing around with a few designs for modular-ish storage and organizational pieces for the house and maybe my office. The blocks can serve as...
Thanks everyone. I'm stuck with standard angle planes for now, aside from a low angle block that's giving me fits. I'll try to set this up on the shooting board this weekend. If not having a low...
What's the best tool choice for 1/8" chamfers, running both with the grain and across the end grain?
I've got several small blocks to chamfer on all edges. The blocks are about 1.5" x 1.5" x 2"...
So simple, yet so useful. I keep meaning to make a set of spacers, and keep forgetting or putting it off. Maybe this time I'll get it done. Thanks for posting this!
Thanks guys. I'll give the Vari-Grind a shot.
Right now I'm working with less-than-optimal tools (read: cheap imports and some older Craftsman stuff). I'll spend some time grinding on those before...
Hello all,
I'm finally getting ready to do a little turning. I've bought the basic Wolverine system (arm and platform), and am getting ready to add to it. I'm new to turning and sharpening lathe...

For all of your Rube Goldburg needs. :)
They have a couple of garage door motors available, some regular gear motors, and all kinds of power transfer stuff (chains,...
+1 for the Battery Minder.
I bought one to keep our dive lights charged (SLA). I've got (4) 12v packs daisy chained together; the battery minder does a great job keeping them charged. I also use...
If a bracket will do the trick, how about using adhesive instead of drilling? Something like the 3M strips for the wall hooks? A thin piece of sheet metal, shaped and painted to blend in with the...
I've got a less expensive Sperry purchased from either HD or Lowes, somewhere aroud $50 IIRC.
It's not going to hold up to commercial or heavy duty use, but it's been just fine for the house. The...
Is the threaded rod flexing, or is there slop elsewhere in the system?
Perhaps the addition of a bracket and bushing near the top edge of the housing would help? I hate suggesting that for a...
Does this mean that it only happens when you are using the mitre gauge, and not when you use the fence?
Does it happen with both miter slots, or just one of them?
Is it possible that the motor...
My favorite is a Browning Buckmark, but my sentiment is the same. If you just want to plink, get a decent .22lr rifile or pistol. Tons of fun and cheap to shoot!
There are a couple of clubs near me...
Outstanding!
I think that's the same guy that wants to buy the stove I posted on Craigslist. Don't worry, he's assured me that he's an honest, God fearing man and will have his shipper pick up the item as soon as...
:eek:
I hope I don't have a pile of worthless outlets. I bought most everything I would need about a year and a half ago...
Thanks guys.
I've removed the neutral / ground bonding strip, and will move the box bonding lug from the neutral to the ground bus so that I can tie it to the panel box (grounding the enclosure).

My long-awaited basement wiring job is finally underway. I'm using a 100A main panel as my sub; it's adjacent to the house panel and will be fed by a 60A breaker. The pre-installed 100A breaker will...
Yes, the hood for the NB works on the older 2012. I recently picked one up from another forum member for my 2012...
I've been using one side of a face vice during dovetail practice. It works, but I like the Moxon idea a lot better. The downside: that thing has to be rock solid, and it's got to be fastened to...
Lol, Yeah, I'm going to have to clear that with my boss and my employer :D
I live up in Buford, so the road trip's a possibility. I'll check in with bosses #1 & #2 and drop you a line early next...
That's second hand information: I have not checked to make sure that it's fact.
I'll take a look at their website and see if I can confirm that statement.

A friend of mine told me that you have to be a member to get into the tool meets. Membership is $25, and he seems to think it's worth the cost. You can sign up...
Good to know. I was considering going to the meet in Madison Georgia (Area M), Feb 2-4. I have no idea what to expect, but it sounds like I ought to go.
No problem there. My wife has waited this long for one, another day won't make a difference :D
(Kidding. She doesn't even know she needs one of these yet. It'll be great if I can beat her to it!)
