Re: Vernier tapes printing

I know this is a really old thread, (and that I could order Shopsmith's stick-on vernier tapes)but I am looking for the .pdf of vernier tapes for the adjustable stop collar.

I downloaded the file shown in the message above, but it does not open. I am hoping that someone may still have a copy of ...

I assumed you did not wish to recess the shelves into the opening. The 'false side' I was referring to would be parallel the the 'real side' when 'closed' and provide a mount for the hinge away from the wall(right side). Pivoting out from the wall allows greater swing angle(180+?)[less if hinge ...

My opinion is to use butt hinges on the right side. A fixed caster below the left side will do the trick. Maybe even a rolling ball type caster.

If you hinge the bookcase on the front, the left side of the case will have to be sloped toward the rear to fit into the opening. Hinging on the rear of ...

Differing opinions - always food for discussion.

I would hinge it off of the left from side of the bookcase. This might mean beefing up the wall to provide adequate support but that is what I would do.
Dusty - that also would require opening up that finished wall, which is not a good idea ...

I am not sure a 6' piano hinge is practical for this.

I do however think the hinge needs to pivot about the FRONT of the right side(swings AWAY from the left side wall out towards the 'rocks'. By hinging about the front, it can be rotated 180 degrees or more. That was my plan, whichever hinge I ...

Hinge Help Needed

The last major task in my new-house project is a hidden closet.

I built a coat/broom closet between the dining room and living room, and it needs, well, closure. I built it into unused space on the end of the pop-out that covers the steps down to the basement. I decided not to hang an ordinary ...

Sorry, Doug, that you missed that. And, she missed a zero. You'll find another one soon. Have found a couple more here in Pensacola for not much on Craig's list, but I don't have any more room or a need for them at the moment.


haha. I really don't have need for a second one, either, but at $25 ...

Funniest part was the comment by the lady on the phone. I said I was not surpised it was gone quickly at that price and she said "I wish we had had 10 of them!"

I didn't bother telling her she could have asked $250 for that one, and still sold it in an hour!
