Re: Adirondack plans

The best Adirondack chair plans I have found are from Rockler. Full-sized templates which do not require any complicated angle cuts.

Re: Lowes Demonstration

I went to this demonstration in Brevard as well. I arrived at just a little after 9:00 A.M., and the guy in your pictures must have been having a bad start to his morning because he was just on the edge of rude to me when I started asking questions. Must have caught him before his second cup. Disapp...

Re: Belt sander rebuild, cam lock won't

Ran into this exact same problem a couple of years ago and had to replace the whole assembly. Expensive, but not as expensive as buying a new one. Simple fix. Good luck.

Re: Down Sizing (Required Work Area) aka Floor Space

To paraphrase Winston Churchill: "Never give up. Never give up. Never give up." Never give one tool, one of anything. Take it all with you and sort it out after you get settled. It took you a lifetime to acquire what you have. Never give up.

Re: Scroll Saw Question

Scroll Saw Question

I have a grey SS scroll saw which I bought on eBay. In checking it out before operation, I noted the post which backs up the blade seemed worn. By worn, I mean the blade has worn a deep groove where the blade seats itself into the v-notch while in use. I can see it becoming a problem as the blade is...
