I am working on a 10ER with Serial # 34027 and having very little trouble with the disassembly except for the headstock pulley. I removed the two set screws (shown below) and the pulley doesn't budge. I know it might be stuck on with 70 years of corrosion and grunge, but I was first wondering if the...

I haven't followed the comments about Power Pro issues here on the forum (or elsewhere) because it's unlikely that I will be buying one anytime soon. But you might find good insights from forum member Tom on his Woodshop Nerdery channel on Youtube.

Hello Dennis. You will love these clamps once you start using them. Even though the prices have gone up recently (just like everything!), I think they are an excellent value.

My anecdotal observations about FB have been that only a few young people we know use FB ("young", meaning late-20's). Everyone else we know who uses FB is our age (mid-50's) and older. When the kids were younger, it seems like all the people we knew were on FB and it was used for everythi...

Russ, I lucked out and found the complete GWG II, with some grinding wheels. It was listed on Craigslist in VA Beach (too far to drive). I contacted the owner to see about having my buddy who lives in Norfolk meet up with him, pay, and get the item for me. By the time we finished our call the seller...
