Hi fellow Creekers.
Does anyone have experience with Ryobi battery operated snowblowers? I have one, the largest single stage available here in Canada. I have problems with ice accumulating in the...
Thank you, Tony. Same to all my compatriots.

Hi Steve
No absolute need to mortise the hinge, but surface mounting would leave a gap between the door frame and the carcass. If this is objectionable because of dust getting in, you could stick...
Hi Steve,
Have you considered a brass piano hinge? That would be very easy to install and very sturdy. Also the look would be classy.

Hi Bert,
The internal storage is the memory installed permanently in your phone by the maker. Once an microSD is added, you will have the possibility of storing your data into the internal memory...
Hi Luke
I suggest you search "twist drill bit geometry" that will give you great info about twist bits. The required relief angle, IMHO, will not be achieved with your method.
Have a look at a...
Hi Al
Maybe you could use a 3/4 inch flush trim bit such as this one:...
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.....unless it's to have fun with hand tools !!,
When I still had a land line, I would often receive calls from "Microsoft Windows security department" (definitely from a call center in India) telling me my computer had got a virus and they would...
Unfortunately Mike, the vacuum cleaner you mention is a corded model. I have their 3 gallon battery operated Cordless Wet/Dry Vac WD0319. Quite handy, but a battery hog.

Bonjour Ernest,
In French, it is generally called "fil ŕ plomb". There might be a more specific name. I will research that.
Have a nice day. André
I wanted to try that on a Bailey plane but I changed my mind when I realized that moving the frog to open or close the mouth in front of the iron would result in the screws not being in line with the...

Hello David,
I use citric acid in a slow cooker ("crock pot") as the heat speeds up the process a lot. However, I once forgot a Union 4 1/2 iron at the bottom and only fished it out after two...
+2 on Bruces's reply. I also have a Craftsman mower with a Briggs and Stratton engine. My neighbor also uses it and at some point, he added too much oil. I guess that was the source of the oil that...
As others have suggested, how about drilling a barely undersized hole and use your handy press to set the nut, THEN add expoy to keep the nut captive? If that is on the showing side, I am sure you...
I have fixed a few broken totes where some wood was worn out from the joint because the planes were used with the broken tote. I used clear epoxy glue tinted with cocoa powder and the resulting glue...
Hello Tom,
I don't have an antique Stanley Tools catalogue around, but you may want to check yours to see if the awl was sold by the box (half-dozen or dozen) as I believe Stanley did for small and...

As Moses said. Also, I would wear rubber gloves. A decoction of rhubarb leaves can be used as a natural pesticide in order to rid of aphids on garden plants. I don't think that there is any danger to...
Kim,
Oxalic acid is indeed great as a rust romover, but it is toxic, so I trust you are using great care handling it. As per Wikipedia's article on rhubarb, most of the oxalic acid in found in the...
Quoting Steven: "Size of the hardware suggests ...Frankenplane, as in someone made NEW bolts and threaded new holes. maybe to fix the rusted up old ones."
The plane has a nice patina, but very...

This is my first post on the Creek. To introduce myself, let me say that I like doing things with tools but would not qualify as a real woodworker. I have built props and specialized equipment during...
