I’m curious, the navigation system learn routes from manual driving? When I’m driving home, I often use a particular highway and the gps in our Chrysler wants me to use what looks like the most...

Heck, yeah! I’m in northern Virginia so if I can get away, I’ll come get it. Let me know if it’s all there or even mostly.

I work with a kid with cerebral palsey. He doesn’t have the coordination to turn in the traditional way. A duplicator divides the turning into more manageable challenges. You design the template,...

I had a Vega table saw fence once and was really impressed with it. The Vega duplicator looks well made but ent made anymore. I also like the shape ov the carbide insert on the Vega versus the pointy...

Growing up, my dad had a table saw. It was probably made in the ‘40s. The cast iron table was maybe 20” square. 8” blade. No throat plate and a really crappy fence and miter gauge. I don’t think...

When we built our house, I had the builder omit returns in my basement shop. The two hvac vents down there do a great job of heating and cooling. The return is a filter size hole in the stairwell....

There’s a big difference between rfid and NFC which is what’s in your wallet. Both use the same underlying idea. A powered device (the initiator) transmits some sort of challenge to your card (the...

oops. Remington model 12.
I don’t care about the key. I threw the keys away. If I ever want to assemble it, an angle grinder should cut the cable. If that doesn’t work, cutting torch.

A friend gave me a cable lock so I had the gun out. It’s a Winchester model 12 22 long rifle. Based on the serial number, it was manufactured in 1920. That jives with my dads story. He would have...

I was aught to stand aside while the bench grinder is coming up to speed. I’ve never seen a wheel fail but not being in line with it is no bother.

Couldnt you stick a flat blade screwdriver in the slot and turn it just a bit?

Sonce we have veered off topic to beer reviews, I submit a story that is not urban legend because I was there. Full disclosure, I don’t drink and never have.

I was in college at Emporia State...

A relative of mine works in cyber security at a major corporation. He recommends the Brave browser which is wired up to protect privacy. It blocks ads as well.

one thing I notice about ads and my...

This came from a microbiologist down the street:
When she was in college in Colorado, students there wanted to brew Coors-like beer. So they wrote a letter to Coors requesting a sample of their...

Warren,
id never heard of dux seal and had to look it up. I would kind of like to add some soundproofing to my bandsaw. I see that dux seal is a putty. How would you apply it? Now I wonder what...

There’s been discussion of minors. My living situation is a bit unusual. We built a house on our daughters land in Falls Church. We have no minors in our house but there are 4 grandchildren in the...

I found a gun store in Arlington va. The guy says that the danger is pretty minimal (which I knew) and that he has some sort of cable lock I can put on it. He’s not comfortable working on a gun that...

Yeach, my bad. Mistaking caliber for gauge tells you hat I’m not really a gun guy.

I called the local police department and they couldn’t tell me anything.

I just read that Virginia requires safe storage. I have my dads 22ga rifle that he had when he was a kid. I don’t know exactly when he got it but it’s pretty old. He was born in 1908.

the gun...

+1 on staying away from bargain basement carbide insert router bits. Ask yourself where that insert is going to go when it breaks loose. In a planer, it’s going to rattle around a metal enclosure...

When we were moving from the Kansas City area to the DC area, we were discouraged by the high housing prices. I required a basement shop and we just weren’t finding anything. Land is so expensive in...

Where do pieces of medical equipment go? My dad was a dentist and I would love one of those lights. Or use the lift part of the chair for a workbench…

BIll,
I don’t see support anywhere on either the Darex or Drilldoctor web sites. Could you be thinking of split points?

Someone wrote that if you are the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room. That’s why I like the Creek so much. I’m at the left end of the bell curve.

Removing the electronics was easy. You unscrew the panel, unscrew the board and throw it away. There are 4 wires going to the motor. The black one is common and the other three are for the three...
