"Mr. Paxton has accepted reassignment as Assistant Director at the Huntington VAMC in West Virginia." (From the link John posted, above.) John, if director Shulkin was REALLY trying to help, Paxton's head would be on a pike! Instead, he got ANOTHER chance to screw up Veterans' lives. At le...

My take on "pallet" wood. About 30 years ago, I lived in Lawton Oklahoma. Had a friend who worked at the local Yamaha bike shop. These guys got bikes shipped to them, on a pallet, with a frame to hold the top cardboard on. These were used, only once. I was able to score a whole LOAD of Lau...

My brother takes an Adult Ed night class,
for woodworking. The shop has a
Woodmizer as well. Great machine.

Major reason for taking the class, is to
use the Woodmizer, and the other LARGE
tools, he's been going for 3 or 4 semesters.

Didn't mention my "original,"

"We blew up Bimini island..."

Not quite. It was Bikini island.

Better and cheaper than Kroil, wd 40, or even Boeshield. (Boeshield is a rust preventer, not a rust remover.) Yes, it did s...

Francis, Gary, sorry to rain on your parade here, BUT, 80 degrees yesterday, and 78 today. Midnight to about 10 AM, heater on. 10 to 2, nothing. 2 to 6, AC. I've got a new Cast Iron 12 inch Lodge Deep skillet, I'm waiting to put a second coat of seasoning on. Soon as it is cool enough, the oven will...

Guys, "global warming" or "Climate change" is for real! Now, the REAL question, is it natural or man-made? Sorry to get political here, but AlGore SCREAMED global warming, and got an Emmy, Webby, Clio, Oscar, and a Nobel Prize for it. You want to see some REAL shockers, look at A...

Hi, My dad has an old Shopsmith Model 10E that I am trying to get up to snuff and it has a table saw that turns at a very slow crawl that I'd like to fix. I don't know if the parts are old or if I need to adjust something. Thanks if you can help. OK, looking at this picture, the speedchanger is set...
