Solar panels generate electricity- I don't see a problem with that.

One was supposed to infer the irony emoji in my post. I have not heard a battery called a generator.

Thanks for the info. I did not know that there was a Tokyo Chisel Group.

I just got one from there the other day. I don't find much difference between the cheap bits and expensive ones aside from the guide bearings don't last as long.

I'm about to try this- good reviews in recent discussion here.

As a kid, I found a large hook in the shed. I tied a rope to it and then thought I would hoist myself up by running the rope over a tree branch, standing on the hook, and pulling on the far end.

Good point about generators. I got one earlier this year due to a downed tree epic power outage, and got a $300 rebate from the utility company.

Hollowing out the log to make a tube with somewhat uniform wall thickness and open top & bottom should work OK. The top & bottom could have separate applied pieces.

Look up 'band saw boxes'. ...

Studies say the lawn is arguably the largest irrigated crop in the US, with more acreage than the the next eight crops combined (corn, wheat, cotton, etc.).

Riding mowers is a different issue, but push ones do OK. Here in California, lawns are dwindling anyway, mostly due to water. The guy that takes care of neighboring properties has a battery...

There's the band saw upgrade discussed elsewhere; got roped in to hanging and installing an exterior door for my son- I replaced his entry door a while back, & made the sill & threshhold from teak...

Looking good. Putting the fastener box on top of the sandpaper is not bad as the weight keeps the sheets flat.

There are two approaches to the grain orientation: rift sawn, and flat sawn. The flat sawn I believe is more stable, or at least moves more uniformly, and the rift sawn wears better. The vertical...

Interesting, but I don't see the connection to Japanese planes.

I've been looking for a larger, but not too large, band saw for a while, and one finally showed up that's a good fit.

About a mile from my house, I was able to buy, load, transport, and unload in...

IME, height is the main actual rule, with the rest to be worked out by the party or parties involved.

I'm a fan of the tilde, since I often speak in generalities, or more precisely, approximatalities.

I was going to say hot knife as well.

I have clients that wanted me to replace their seal-failed glass panes in custom made wood windows. A bunch of 6 & 9 lite upper sashes and more. Dozens,...

I made this to hold wood in the '80s, in probably half an hour, partly from concrete form boards.
It's been in seven shop spaces, and lately filled pretty much solid with 3-4' long scraps and stock....
