http://www.electrician2.com/vd_calculator.htm is useful for calculating voltage drop. Less than 3% VD is your target.

You get about the same voltage drop across a wire for the same current,...

I vote for bugs. Maybe millipedes? Centipedes?

Ospho is a mild phosphoric acid sold as a rust remover / converter for steel. You can usually find it at marine stores or some hardware stores. It turns copper green pretty quickly. I'd start with...

Seems like a lot of detecting to stuff into one package.

Tomorrow I drive up by Atlanta to look at a sailboat, and buy a 14" PM bandsaw from Jay(!).

Sunday will be spent cleaning the garage....

+1 for buy a decent jig saw. Clamp your work, and for about $50 you can cut most of the curves etc. that you'll need for grips.

A scroll saw may even work well for what you're looking for, and...

I bought an extra router sub base plate and put two rollers in it. This makes centered mortises pretty easily. For offset from center mortises I clamp a shim equal to the offset dimension to the...

Well, up until now, I had never had a problem with the titebond caps unless it was self-inflicted (saw something shiny and got distracted, had to go open a jar or something, left it open overnight). ...

I can't wait to get LOML one of these. Stop her fussing.

I think I agree that if I saw "Introductory Price" on an advert, I'd tend to assume:

1) It's not the regular everyday price that it will be selling for, otherwise why bother typing anything in...

Wow, thanks Howie. Neat book, and site.

Looks like best practice would be to at least scuff the surface with some fine sandpaper. Going back to reading the handbook of wood now.

Are you talking about shaping the grips in addition to just the outline?

I have a 1/4" collet for my rotozip saw that will take rotary rasps. That will remove the material pretty quickly and...

+1 for epoxyshield

I used hot water and TSP (trisodium phosphate) with a stiff push broom to prep the floor, worked well, doesn't chip if you drop a tool. Next time I do a shop / garage floor...

If it absorbs the water at all (or at least faster than glue set time) it won't affect the joint. If water gets absorbed into the fibers in the burnt area, so will water-based glue.

A better...

Please count me in.

Also, if anyone needs help with the wiring, I can do that.

I have. I went through Alibaba.com, which is pretty much a clearing house for matching suppliers to buyers. Just be sure you're certain of the specifications on whatever you're looking for. I...

Packing tape is an interesting idea. I use parchment paper to protect the work surface (plywood on saw horses until I build a bench) from drippings. I saw your post after I bought some paste wax. ...

Hadn't thought of thinning the wax. That might work, like a sealer coat of varnish. This isn't part of the project, just two hardwood pieces that work together like a press to keep the boards from...

I made a couple supports for panel gluing out of oak. I'd like to saturate the wood with wax to prevent glue from sticking to it.

I have in the past impregnated maple with paraffin (for acid...

I'd use CFL. There isn't enough mercury in them to pose a health threat. Even the larger fluorescent bulbs, as long as you buy the ones with green ends, can safely and legally be disposed of like...

Might be worth buying a CL skilsaw and a diamond blade and experimenting on scrap to cut T-Track slots. Should be doable, if you make a jig to control the side to side travel of the skilsaw base.

Someone should start a NetJigs company. $25 a month and you can use any one specialized jig that you only need for one job and don't want to spend $400 on....

Thanks John!

I'll trt to form an opinion and take pictures. After I check the TS alignment.

And to get my two cents into the thread, AC induction motors like in our DC's have an upper speed that is limited by their construction (number of electromagnetic poles) and frequency that is...
