Robin,
What a nice job you did on the chest! Why is the routered portion of the raised panel a darker color than the rest of it?
BTW, I also like the raised panel work on your walls. I have...

OK, I need some help here. Sorry ahead of time, ....no picture.
My brother has a grinder that he offered to me. He inherited from the previous owner of his house who stole it from Kodak in the...
Jay,
Are you sure you weren't in the same woods 9 months ago???? :D

Guys,
I'm freezing my stones off here in Upstate NY and reading this thread brings a question up. My shop is unheated, so I put a couple of 18v Dewalt batteries I have on the charger with a...
Don,
The only thing I would add to Howard's post is when you are vacuuming, try to use a dusting brush head that is either new or one that you have cleaned well. Also, try to get the vacuum to...
I think it's an interesting design. Not my style, but I like the organic nature of it.
Now as to the price,..... 28 dollars maybe,......but 28 MILLION DOLLARS????? It only proves that this world...
Art,
Too funny!
Now I have a built in reason for going back to visit in the summer!

Joe,
Strictly my opinion here. You are doing God's work and if you can afford the time and cost, I'm sure the church would appreciate your efforts on their behalf.
I love your idea to sort...
Tyler,
Gotta love those big framing saws! I used to work for a firm that built TF homes. Loved the art of timberframing, but not the business or the owner of the company.

BTW, while driving in to the city I happened to notice a Lee Valley store. I yelled to my wife that we needed to get gas and pulled off! After getting gas, I innocently commented that we should...
Neal,
While I have no plans to crash my truck into the building, your point is well taken. I guess I will just take them down carefully and make sure the brick is structurally sound before...
Adam,
Glad to know you didn't break your arm. I'm sure that bruise will remind you for a long time to be careful.
Here is my sort of kickback story. Many years ago, I was ripping some cherry...
Thanks for the additional info guys.
I think I may have just gotten lucky. The chimney I tore down last week, I left the portion in the basement in place until today. I found a band about two...
Here are a few more. The first three are of their governmental library and the last is the entryway over their House of Commons.
I had the pleasure of visiting Ottawa last weekend during it's Winterlude. What a great city, the kids and wife had a great time skating on the Rideau Canal.
The reason I'm posting it our visit...
Jim,
I go to as many tool auctions as I can. My experience is you can never tell if you're at a "good" auction from a price standpoint. The last good one was on a Sat., usually not a good...
Thanks Thomas, I'll check them out.

Ken and Tom ,
Thanks, all good points.
I have to assay the mortar as I don't know the ingredients or the combination. I knew that the old mixes are a great deal softer than today's mix.

Ken,
Good thought, but there are no outbuildings or other places to grab bricks. I tore down a chimney and hoped to salvage those bricks. Unfortunately, they were so badly degraded that it was...
I know this is off-topic for this forum, but you guys have been so great in advising on other questions I've had, so maybe someone can help.
I've been restoring an old brick home, built around...
Louis,
I think Roger has it right. I've had very good luck just using boiling water. It softens many layers and isn't harmful to your skin or the environment.
Of course you can use any...
Geez Biil, that is a simple and well executed idea. I really like it!

Brian,
I have had good luck cutting large diameter cast iron pipe with a 3M cast iron cutting blade and my circular saw. It's an abrasive blade that wears away as you use it. It is loud and...
Cody probably has it right. But to be honest, it's anybody's guess. To do it right you really need to get a good piece of end grain, a magnifier and Bruce Hoadley's book. Even then, it is not easy.

Thanks guy,
I'll try the heat. If it comes clean, I'll snap a pic and post it.
