I'm certainly not clear on what is happening.
You got arcing and it was hot enough to melt and burn your fingers? Was there a load on the circuit like a incandescent lamp?
Unrelated breaker tripped...

The input impedance of a digital multimeter is constant across the ranges. With the old analog meter, dropping the range down reduces the input impedance (ohms/volt) so if you have some high...

When alkalines first got popular they seemed to be the answer to the carbon-zinc leakage problem. But, no longer, although not nearly as bad, and Duracell are no better than others from my...

The illuminated switch lights rely on a current path through the lamp filament when the switch is open. A tungsten filament has very low resistance when cold. The construction of the LED bulb driver...

Well, at least you admit it, Pat. I have now filed you under my "pixel watcher instead of content watcher" list. :)

I'm not unsympathetic to wanting good quality video and audio but I cannot...

"wicked shaap" is not as interesting as the pretty young lady at the Logan airport car rental booth trying to tell me to take the "fork" in the road.

My approach is almost the same to Roger's. I have used Chair Doctor and it works but doesn't seem to be a good method for long term repairs, possibly because you are doing a repair blindly. I think...

Involving the drilling company for further treatment, if required, is a good idea. They have seen it all before and likely are familiar with the water conditions in your area if they are relatively...

I don't know about such machines but that looks like a very nice, well-made piece of equipment and I doubt would be cheap to replace with an identical one if that is required compared to a more basic...

Been on the news the last few days about long (3 ft) flat-head worms showing up in some places in southern Ontario for the first time. Lots of things moving up due to warmer winter temperatures -...

Mine is deep at 425' but the water ingress likely is less deep. I don't think deep or shallow matters but rather the source of the water itself although it may be more likely a problem for wells at...

I thought sulfur rods were just pure aluminum.
We had the problem and could just detect it in the water from the well. Had a Cullligan Rustmaster installed over 25 years ago. It is a fairly simple...

I always re-use them unless it is obvious they don't grip and I don't know if I've ever seen a plastic-only one.
However, since I'm not trying to make a buck at this, I always take the time to twist...

80% of the rated amps has little to do with it, you would have the same problem on a 20A circuit with the same type of connections. The problem is the back-stabbed connections got bad and went from...

This would be good information and if I were to guess, I'd say something is plugged in. This is the only way you can get 120V to ground off the neutral since the 120V has to feed through a device...

I should probably just leave this to the owners of your make/model of your saw but I have a 2HP Taiwanese contractor's saw and the motor does jump on startup although yours looks little more severe....

No doubt in my mind that Norton (Symantec) software from years back was crap, it bogged down machines and it required a lot of frustrating work to get it off a machine. I think Symantec took/bought...

I have one of this style mounted on the wall (not the same make/model). No batteries and the overwhelming positive feature is that is is always in the same place....

I think this is an excellent idea to consider.

No harm done. You aren't the first person to do this.
I wish they would make the threads read-only after some period of time after the last post but that approach doesn't make everybody happy either.

Tomorrow was about 11 years ago - old thread.

Losing the work you've put into it is how view routers :). Really bugged me watching router-based TV shows years ago when they'd zip the thing around with no issues at all which didn't seem to align...

You are probably thinking of cutting the logs into quarter-sawn pieces. Just Google it, there is a lot of info on how to do it if it meets your needs.
Regular WD-40 doesn't have silicone but their...

Agree with John. Cracking is always an issue when turning starting with green wood. IMO, it is too bad the OP didn't leave the lengths longer - I always do with my green turning wood tree-trunk...

I've always been happy with the Tripoli, White Diamond and Carnuba but I don't doubt you can get others that might suit your taste better. The only problem I've ever had buffing came from buffing too...
