    Why not just sand off the little ridge? I doubt it would take much more than a minute.

    It is funny -- I did almost exactly the same thing last week. I had a DW 18V drill/driver for about 6 years that served me very well until I dicovered that there was a lot of smoke and ozone (plus...

    Personally, I would buy a bunch of ebony scraps and cut them up instead. Why would you want to cut up a board that probably costs well over $1,000 into little pieces?

    If any of your kids are baseball fans, Cooperstown (MLB HoF) is great. I have only been there in summer, so I don't know how it is in winter. If you spend a day there, you could go on to the VT/NH...

    C'est rien ;) Personally, I would just ask for "sauce."

    Thinking more about "chase lounge", it is not pretentious, because people are not saying it to show off, but the sound does grate on my...

    "Au jus" isn't a thing, it it as an adverbial/prepositional phrase. Could you have your "a la mode" on the side? ;)



    The problem is that "lounge" is a bastardization of "longue" -- changing a...

    I can't get too worked up about "The exception that proves the rule," because the contemporary (if inaccurate) meaning is useful and makes some sense. Specifically, if a theoretical exception is...

    If you could post a full-ish recipe, that would be awesome. I have tried to mimic the taste of real German sauerkraut a bunch of times. But I have never been able to reduce the acidity that makes...

    1968? Assuming we are talking about AC/DC, I don't think they formed until the early to mid-70s. Had you seen them in '68, Angus' shorts would not have been worn for ironic effect!

    But if he didn't hold, Romo would have been toast, and the TD never would have happened. I can't argue with the call there.

    Do you have insurance coverage on your tools? If so, I would ask the carrier what to do.

    The other thing to remember is that it can be H-O-T down there in the middle of summer. We were in Virginia Beach a few Julys ago, and we took a day trip to CW. It was about 98 out, and felt a lot...

    I wouldn't even worry too much about it's being smooth as long as you get it flat. By that I mean all the bumps have to be gone and the tables level, but any little pits and nicks are probably not a...

    The odd thing is that the 22 Amps @ 110v make it almost unusable in the normal home environment -- unless home wiring has shrunk dramatically in the past 35 yrs.

    Old elec. motor value

    I have an older (ca. 1973) Westinghouse motor from a Sears air compressor. It is rated at 1.5 hp, and draws 22 amps at 110 volts (it is dual voltage, but lacks a wiring diagram). And the amp draw...

    It is also nice to have one thing that you know is square, and that you can test everything else against.

    Honestly, I probably use my 12" Starrett more to confirm that my TS blade is 90 degrees,...

    Jim -- thanks so much for the help. The nuts actually are in the trunk compartment but double as hooks for the cargo net, and I didn't realize they served a dual purpose.

    Hearne is very highly regarded (and pretty expensive). I bought from them a couple of times and was satisfied.
