I had a corded blower that would do that, but like Lee, I only used it one time. Just didn't see a lot of value in it.

I used a corded blower for years and the cord was a real PITA. I'd prefer a cordless blower that was inferior to a corded just because I hate having to deal with the cord. But the 60 volt DeWalt I...
Good idea. Thanks.
Mike
Thanks, Cliff. Since you alerted me to the way the ashes are handled, I'm going to stop at a mortuary near me and see if they use the same size in this area.

I have the DeWalt 60 volt blower. It's as good as the corded one I used to use. The batteries are a bit expensive - I have three - but they've lasted quite well. I've been using them for a number...
That's good to know. Yes, please send me the dimensions. You can post the dimensions here as information for others who might also need it.
Thanks for offering.

Thanks, Bill. I looked at the Instagram posting. Very interesting.

That's really good work, Ted, and some good ideas. I like what you did for a hinge - Brusso hinges have gotten really expensive.
Thanks for posting that.

That's really a nice box memorial, Andrew. The issue is that she wants something that she can use until need - so the box doesn't have to be put into the attic (for example).
But I really like...
LOL. I think I'll stick with rectangular for ease of construction.

A friend recently asked me to make her a cremation ashes box (for herself). I did some research and the recommendation is one cubic inch per pound of body weight. All fine.
But then she...

Time magazine published an article about this - seems like a reasonable answer. https://time.com/4292844/420-april-20-marijuana-pot-holiday-history/

I've had very good experience with PEC tools, also. You'll like the square.

That's an interesting idea about on demand recirculation. I'm going to look into that.
I really like my tankless water heaters. In southern California we can mount them on the side of the...
I often think about that with every project I do - more furniture than turning. As the project develops you have more and more time and effort invested in it. A mistake (such as cut something too...
But what do you do when your water heater is a tankless, as mine is? My original water heater is tankless and the second one I installed is also tankless. Seems that if the flow was sufficient to...
My father also died too soon, but he smoked and didn't really take care of his health. I've survived long past his death age.

[Incidently, very good thread. I've learned a lot about an...
If you get tired of waiting, consider a PEC 6 inch combination square. I found a blem here.
My experience with PEC blem tools has been very good.

Our situation was that the hot water heater was on one side of our house and our master bath was on the other side of the house. Took forever to get hot water.
I had the plumber split the system...
I've tried scratching the inside of the socket but didn't seem to make any difference. But maybe my scratches were not deep enough.

I've made a lot of handles for socket chisels, both antique and modern. The antique chisels with the rough interior sockets hold a handle well - I never had one come loose. I did have trouble with...
I made replacement handles for my LN chisels from cocobolo which is an oily wood. Had some problems with the handles staying in the sockets so I used epoxy. When I had to remove one handle, I...
Look at the tools the prospective borrower has. If they're good quality and well maintained, I'd be more willing to lend him/her a tool of mine.
When the Domino came out, I borrowed one from a...
While not a break-down, I had a .22 rifle in my youth and I could remove the stock, which would make it shorter to store.
Things were a lot different when I was a kid. As a senior in high school,...
