I've had 8 1/4" and 10" Makita portable saws, and the 10" is way more useful in general utility, and blade selection/availability.

Rip capacity on a bevel is a factor, and I've ripped lots of 6X...

Looking good. There appears to be a bunch of math, followed by direct measurement.

I have planes with very close mouths, but these are some that I use the most, for heavy, and medium utility cuts. IME, final, high level smoothing is only 10% of hand plane use.
They each took up...

I came across this Ebay seller who is knowledgeable, skilled, and has good prices on planes that he has sharpened and tuned.

Buying here would save hours of work vs other used or new and are...

Looks like the Dominos pulled out of their mortises. Probably would have held a lot more if those were glued.

How thick was your popular board?

No, not really. A bunch of 1/2" brad nails from the front might work sort of.

Glue. (characters)

This is more of this weeks accomplishments, but it will be last week soon...

I've worked on this property since the '80s, and built the garage/guest house in 1990. A giant bay tree just fell,...

One at least half a dozen mishaps over the years- mostly strippers. Still, that's only one every 7 years or so, on average.

I wouldn't be surprised that if you asked on Craigslist, someone would give you one. Lots of those on shelves collecting dust.

I have some of those!

I have twice traced dead circuits to the refer receptacle- vibration and/or cycling had work hardened the wire at the terminal causing it to break.

Reading a bunch of Youtube comments, one benefit that stands out is connecting stranded and solid wires together.

In this test, high current was run through wire with various connectors, and they...

From the paper cited in another current thread on powderpost:

"Prevention:
...Wood that is suspect should not be used, especially if fresh emergence holes or powder is present. Many of the most...

Other Wagu-type connectors are pretty much the same as back stab receptacles They often come on recessed light fixtures these days.

They are handy in crowded switch boxes, but I have limited...

I've long identified with "Pigpen".

Pulling out my wallet at sales counters regularly leaves sawdust which must be brushed away and apologized for.

"...lyctid beetles typically start emerging from wood within a year of processing. Thus, infestations usually are encountered in new homes or newly manufactured articles. In almost all cases,...

According to the paper I linked, 3-5 days at 0˚ will do it. doesn't mention the oxygen aspect.

Since the wood is finished, the eggs were likely already in the wood.

Looks like powderpost beetles. Small enough that heat treatment could work.

Did you try plugging the heater into a known good outlet? Did you try another appliance in the bathroom outlet?

The most likely issue is a tripped GFCI. The backstabbed receptacle suggests that...

Another mention of the Delta 1160 saw. Compact, and quite capable (except for the tilting table, and lack of dust collection).

I spent all weekend helping my son redo the water pipes in his house. One spot is a tight squeeze- neither of us could fit until relieving the framing at the waste pipe to raise one end 1/2"or less....

Yes. the screen will bow in the sides without.

There's not much you can screw up. To true the tables after cleaning up, if necessary, slipping pieces of feeler gauge shims into the ways of the outfeed table works well. Because it is rarely...

IMO, the reason for hollow grinding is make it easier to maintain the angle on thin blades and to have less metal to remove while honing The thick Japanese ones have a much bigger surface to...
