Spars more likely would be my guess.
Add a few drops of Japan Drier to the BLO. You can get Japan Drier @ the big box stores.
It's variously called a Panel Gauge or a Veneer Cutter. Some have blades in them & some have marking pins. It works like a regular marking gauge only (usually) much larger.
Luke is correct about commercial BLO. Typically Cobalt and or Lead salts are added for driers. Neither one is good to eat. Some time ago I got a deal on a 5 gal can of raw linsee oil. I use it...
Phil is correct about blocking. 22 & 25 ga studs are not designed to hold attached loads. Most drywall supply houses also sell 18ga metal in 6" or 8" wide strips which is screwed across the studs...

I'd ask over on OWWM. There are several members in Indiana who are running 3ph machinery on phase converters.

So... your doors are kind of like a UN General Assembly.....
I used one on a Buffalo DP for several years. The results were fine. Caveat - be careful with the set-up and check it often. They do come out of line.
Well it's a production machine. If you have a moulder you can run your stock off to whatever length you can handle in your shop - like 20' lengths. Then just run it through the pin cutter & the...
I have almost all babbitt bearing machines in my shop. To check the condition of the existing babbitt bearings try your hardest to move or wiggle the shaft in the bearing. it should move a bit...
For those of you interested in this sort of thing here's an interesting machine I picked up @ a flat belt millshop that had closed. It cuts round tennons on the end of the louvers for shutters. ...
Maybe rebuild the one you have? They're not very complicated.
I've had set decoarators rent tools & machinery from me for sets. Some of my stuff was in an episode of 'Law & Order; Criminal Intent' last year. Of course when the tools were returned they were...
You're going to need one of these.....
