I'll give that a try. As much as I dislike pulling that cover off, it definitely beats spending money unnecessarily. Thanks.

The last time I put a blade on my Unisaw, I noticed that the insert was difficult to remove and place back in. It was mysterious but didn't seem to be of critical importance. I rarely use the saw,...
I use two methtods of power sanding; a drill, and a Grex pneumatic Random Orbit Sander. This applies to both:
Sanding the outside of a bowl on my 3520B I go in reverse. I have never used grub...
Have you sharpened it? Makes a huge difference!
Dan,
When I bought my McNaughton a couple years ago, Randy Privett told me that he had an adapter to fit the Monster Laser to the McN tool. I never bought that adapter and haven't needed it, for...
Dan, it kind of depends on how much trouble you want to go to and whether or not you have spray equipment. If you are set up to spray, you can be creative and disguise the CA with a detail gun. Then...
Gary,
That is truly a work of art. I hope you get compensated well for it at the show.
The whole "ultra thin vs. not ultra thin" thing is subjective. Truth is, it's a bit hard to ascertain the...
Bobby, why do you need air conditioning before you can use your lathe?
:D :D :D
Oh wait......I just noticed you're in Texas. Nevermind........:rolleyes:
Great interview, Pat! And great to have a supportive wife, ain't it!:)
Where my folks live, they have set a record for number of consecutive days over 100 with no rain and no relief in sight. I could not pick a worse time to visit. Welcome to hell.
No amount of...
If that's your idea of "summer" I could handle it as well. I am definitely in the wrong location.....:(
See a few old friends, do some woodturning, and sweat like heck.
Wow.....I was :mad: 'd about the heat in Virginia. Now I'm visiting my parents in 'Bama and it was 106* today. I was outside until about 1130 when the sun came over the side of the house where I...
The question is actually confusing the way the answers are worded. Both "The Husband" and "garage used for shop" are true for me as I suspect they are for most others.
your WHAT?
Wait......don't answer that......:eek:
:p
Nancy, nice job and nice to know that JH is still among the living!
I turn a scrap to just under the size of the opening and use some shelf lining material (or tool box drawer liner) between the HF and the scrap, to give a better grip to the jam fit and to prevent...
I was approached just yesterday by one of the ladies in our library who asked me, "Why do you wear a [sport]coat on a day like today? A tie I can understand, but why a coat and tie?" I just laughed,...
You're reminding me of my Dad. He worked for decades in the auto repair business with no air conditioning. I worked for him for 6 years; I vividly recall one day when it was so doggone HOT that I...
Gee whiz.....I really hit a nerve....this thread really took off!:p
Another "dog day" today and again tomorrow. When the forecaster talks about "cooling down to 88 on Saturday" something is...
I get close to what you do sometimes. I've been known to brew coffee and take it with me into the shop, failing to eat breakfast. Then around 10-ish I start to wonder why I'm hungry.:confused:...
Yep.....dunno how you deal with it.:( LOML and I did our honeymoon in Savannah 9 yrs ago and it was a wonderful place to visit. BUT.....it was November, not August. Big difference!:)
Curses!:mad:
It's 99* outside right now. Heat index 105*. Last night I couldn't even finish turning a bowl and tonight ain't looking so great either. I don't know how you boys further south are...
Looks like your 70% chance of rain has morphed into a 100% chance of mayo shavings. Congrats Terry!:cool:
Pat,
Your idea of a measuring stick is great, but the grind angle changes as you dress the wheel with that method (because you are reducing the wheel diameter with each successive dressing, which...
