So, maybe, "morning coat" is a code for "raw fentanyl?" Could be - stranger things have been true. But in this case, I'm more inclined to think it's bad AI translation of a mistyped unusual word...

The rules on feed in tariffs in this country are a complete mess, with both solar advocates and the utilities arguing for - and in some places getting - absurd positions. The advocates think you...

Yeah, although I at least know what that might mean. I really have no idea what they were after with "drilling on wood, with a mill or a morning coat," or why it doesn't go equally well with an...

Doesn't take much looking to find absurdities on Amazon these days. The overseas sellers that have clogged up their (always rather random, now completely chaotic) marketplace just put all kinds of...

You might look again. The price on batteries has dropped dramatically in the last 3 years. What would have cost you $46K 3 years ago can probably be had for closer to $20K today.

Also, doesn't...

They've been available since 2021 from Enphase. If you have IQ8 inverters, those are grid-forming capable. Whether or not, and when, they will provide AC power absent grid input depends on how...

Since you've got something from Kent that works for you, this answer is redundant, but my solution would have been to make or buy a bunch of 3/16" dowel stock, set the boxes up on a jig in the drill...

What you see in the picture is basically that, except that we skip the aluminum, and our stuffing is sweet potatoes, figs, dates, and the like. We scald and scrape the hog, and when we bang it in...

Surely you mean whole hogs, not hot dogs.

Here's what that looks like in NE Iowa / Southern Minnesota. :)

Note the stuffing. Nothing against any of the various varieties of...

I don't know that I'd call it a gimmick, but I do consider them highly over-rated. I use mine very infrequently, preferring a low speed dry grinder for things requiring actual grinding, and...

Not sure I buy this as a general thesis. I've worked on a number of old machines that were beyond awkward to disassemble and repair. Just finished restoring a 60 year old belt sander that had...

Personally, I would not try to cut the U-shaped bends you've got on a table saw. Jim is probably right that with some help it can be done with reasonable safety, but it's not going to be easy, I...

The ubiquity of ethanol blend is exactly my point - whereas 25-30 years ago, even in a busy gas station, you might well see a tanker stirring water up from the bottom of a tank, it's just not going...

Again, I would emphasize that you can get the advantages of pre-bending with steam without a bag. Just take the strips out of the steam, and immediately wrap them around the form and clamp the...

Curious that in this whole thread, no one has mentioned that most of the fuel we pump into cars is not gasoline, but a gasoline-ethanol mix. Makes a big difference with respect to the water in...

Fascinating comment - not for its content, which is obviously true - but for what it says about the way people learn woodworking, and how we help beginners learn it. I suspect it's pretty obvious...

Yes, for sure. I have steamed and bent wood in bags. Works great for some of the bentwood basket-like projects I do, particularly as a final step to set the final shape. On the yarn basket I...

A couple of things:

First, I assume the maple was kiln dried, which makes it harder, as you know. Harder in this case means more springback, because the lignin is already set from the kiln. So...

Steamboxes always leak water. If you want to control the leaks, I would assemble the box with a temperature rated caulk or roofing compound in the joints (and, I predict, it'll still leak some),...

You could do it without any steam if you were cutting the lams down to 1/16" - simply bending them around the forms with a backstrap to control them would work. 1/8" with kiln dried, you likely...

Bruce - that's true, if the machine is designed that way, in which case the common bore between the bearings would be grease filled, and the whole assembly would work as a single, twin race,...

The interesting thing is that we start with different premises (tools are / are not inherently dangerous), and reach the same conclusions. You think they are not - the the danger is attributable to...

John - Everything you say makes sense, except that it doesn't apply to this situation . 3 of the 4 bearings I replaced had seals on the "inside", and the part numbers on the bearings are for double...

I've got a nice little Rikon 14" bandsaw - the 10-325 - about a dozen years old. It's a nice saw, for a mid-range import (I think I paid $800 for it new), and has served me well. It runs...

I won't argue that what you say is not technically true, but the part about getting into the blood and then the liver is a stretch, for sawdust. A particle needs to be less than .1 micron or so in...
