Jon, I have that Porter Cable drill press that I bought at Lowe's in July 2015 for a great deal; fully assembled by them and delivered to my basement workshop for <$250. I saw several posts on...

Just to be clear....nothing on this watch is made of wood....correct?
This is a typical English fusee style watch in my opinion and yes they were made in the 1600's, 1700's and 1800's. Mine are...

Dan, perhaps you can get a clue on revising the dust port from looking at the new Rikon 10-326 dust port, which is supposedly redesigned for improved dust collection. You can see it in the Rikon...

Hi Rick, sorry to hear about your clock's trouble. Without actually observing the movement and running some tests, it would be purely speculation as to why it has stopped, and there could be dozens...

Brian,
I am in STOW, OH and so is my LOWES store location. I just checked their website and they are showing it as unavailable, but the stores in Macedonia and Streetsbore both show one each...

I bought one at LOWES just a few months ago, have you looked at LOWES on-line site.

I would suggest that you do a couple of things: 1. Get tested for diabetes (my father sweat profusely, and was always thirsty until he was diagnosed with diabetes and medicated). 2. I learned from my...

Kees,
This is a superb piece of work showing your many talents and imagination.

Carl, while I am not sure what you intend to make with the setup, I can suggest a Sears Router Crafter to do all the decorative patterns that would want on a spindle. They are semi-vintage from the...

Mel, I use to sing in the shower, but that is the extent of it.
I have taken some photos of the spool cabinet drawer interior configurations, which I am now attaching. One photo shows the divider...

Hi Everybody,
I really do appreciate the kind comments.
I am now going to add some additional photos showing the sides and back which depict the birdseye maple panels and the vertical beading...

Hi Mike,
The rope twist half spindles were made on a Sears vintage Router Crafter. The crafter is basically an indexing fixture that has a router mounted on a platform. The platform moves along...

I got two short sleeve pullover shirts: 1. Shows a pile of sawdust and reads "SAWDUST ENGINEER" 2. Shows a hand pushing a plane and curled chips and reads "CARUSO WOODWORKING Stow, Ohio". I also got...

I thought that I would share a couple of photos of the spool cabinet that I created for my dear wife's Christmas present. The cabinet is hard maple throughout, with birdseye panels on three sides....

Mike,
In my humble opinion of dealing with bearing replacement needs for my 45 years career in automotive design and manufacturing, I would recommend the following. Remove the bearings out and read...

Greg,
Woodworking aside; what is your source for the clock works, weights, dial and pendulum? Is it a striking clock of any sort (I cannot tell from the angle of the photo of the museum clock.

Hi Dan,
Yes, I have just completed a six drawer cabinet build using the 3/4" thick hard maple T&G flooring that was excess to my kitchen flooring installation done four years ago. The wood was very...

I bought the 1 HP motor equipped Porter Cable PCB660DP at Lowe's in July. It has 12 speeds and a quick change belt setup with the flip of a lever. It normally sells for ~ $330, but I acquired...

A glass pie pan would be my choice, like I use to de-rust clock gongs with a naval jelly like compound.

Hello George, I restored my Craftsman lathe, which is a 1938 model, and in doing so I found that Sears still has the bronze bushing available, so I ordered them on-line. It was a simple task to drive...

Hi Robert,
Congrats, reducing noise is very important for your long term hearing protection. As a mechanical engineer, I worked on reducing noise in a newly refurbished automotive engine...

Greg, I would advise that you do some research on the case construction that was used for a clock of this style and period, before finalizing your design and materials. Use the NAWCC (National...

I have my own gripe with Lowe's 10% discount policy for veterans, which they brag about and, which I, as a proud veteran and American Legion member have availed myself to. On my last trips to...

Brian, I know the feeling having had two premium cost experiences with the vet. First was my dog, Buddy, a couple of years ago. He passed away shortly after. In the last month, my wife's cat, Tiny,...

Steve, I regularly use my 3 jaw and 4 jaw chucks on my Craftsman wood lathe without difficulty. My lathe dates to 1938 and was designed for the hobbist as a wood or light metal (aluminum or brass)...
