Thank you for the suggestions!

I have plenty of nuts and bolts, even low profile nuts and locking nuts. Unfortunately, there is very little to no clearance. However, the rivet fasteners look...

Actually, the original pins/fasteners are still okay. I would need to remove them and since they are one-piece, I wouldn't be able to repair or reuse them. You have a point about making them on a...

I've collected several old Millers Falls and Goodell Pratt "eggbeater" drills to refurbish for my sons. Some have missing or torn up handles, so I'm making new ones.

I'm looking for a way to...

Charcoal. I owned a gas grill for about 3 years, but it just wasn't the same. When I went back to charcoal I realized the extra work was worth it.

Wow. I can understand why it still looks good! I'll bet that's a really pretty coating. I may try that. Thanks, Jim.

Jim, how many coats of WOP did you use on your daily grinder?

David, I was hoping this was the case. I just wanted to confirm that there would be no issues.

Thanks for the replies.

My favorite peppermill finish is tung oil. I recently acquired some gorgeous peppermill blanks that have voids that I will probably fill with inlace or equivalent. Would any of you recommend using...

Roger, I may try one of these. Were you able to achieve a decent finish after using it?

Thank you, Kyle.

It's probably more work than it's worth. I guess the hardest part is to see an incredibly spalted piece go to waste.

I'd like to get started turning peppermills, so I purchased a few spalted maple peppermill blanks. They all have "punky" places throughout, but the one I'm worried about is the most spalted - the...

John, those pens are exceptional. You are very talented!

May I ask if you used the Alternate Casein or the Ivory Casein? How did you make the grooves in the casein, or is that the way the blank is...

I bought a Laguna LT18 Bandsaw 3 years ago and received very good service and support. A switch was damaged in transit, so they sent me a new switch at my request and talked me through the wiring...

I glue an "auxillary faceplate" to the workpiece: When I glue it together, I use a thin layer of glue on the workpiece and a thin layer of glue on a small round piece of wood that is to become the...

It sounds like the G3 is less expensive & more versatile. That is what I was hoping to hear. Will the G3 mount without any optional accessories, or is the basic chuck all I need to get started?

Delta's 46-461 Chuck appears to be a Nova G3, but aside from having set screws (to keep it secure while in reverse) is there any reason I should buy this one rather than a regular Nova G3?

I have...

My Delta 46-460 Mini arrived yesterday. My wife gave it two thumbs up.

Today it's my turn.:D

I bought the LT18 two years ago despite all the warnings of terrible customer service.

I had trouble getting it into the garage; it didn't quite clear, so I had to struggle with it. When I tried...

Barry, while kiln dried is generally trusted more than air dried, don't be afraid to air dry your lumber (or some of it.) I have 2 large lumber racks loaded with about 2,500 bf of various lumber. 60%...

I've used my Dewalt on three major projects in the 5 years I've owned it. It came in very handy for each of those projects.

Even though I use mine infrequently, I'm glad I made the purchase.

Woodworkers are self-taught leaders at improvising. But when you're working on problems outside of the "workshop" and you have all those power tools at your disposal, anything can happen.

I just...

John, you can build a makeshift ramp to get it out of the trailer. I've helped others unload some pretty large equipment that way.

Or if you know someone with a "tilt" trailer you can borrow....

Very good point!

My garage door doesn't seal well at all, so I get a "slight breeze" through some of the cracks. This was enough to ventilate my shop. You may need to slightly crack a window....

Mine would use about a gallon in two days of hanging out in the shop, 10,600 BTU model) but it depends on how far you turn it up.

When done for the day, you simply shut them off & let them cool....

I agree with Dean, many people aren't taught to respect the bandsaw as they would a tablesaw.

I had a bad experience on the tablesaw 6 years ago because of a deadly mistake that is too common: I...

I used a 10,600 BTU Kerosene heater for about 3 years in my shop (attached garage - no insulation on 3 sides.) Inside measurements of my shop are 19' x 23'. It worked great, but it took a while to...
