SWMBO invited one of her friends over for dinner the other day(she is very large). There was a little mishap at the dinner table. A chair back broke. It was fastened with 4 3/4in tenons.

If the tenons are a little loose in the joints, a good way to snug them to glue is to take a hand plane that's sharp & make some shavings. They curl perfectly & you can wrap the tenons with them to tighten the joint. Thanks for the tip. I wanted the finial on my current project to be a fric...

A guy I found has a ss for sale, a 50th anniv 510, with dc and bandsaw. It has never cut anything or even been assembled! While cash is an issue, he may do a trade. Meeting this pm to discuss. 1k the figure he trhough at me. Has it been harmful for the motor and drive system to sit and be immobile ...

The other day I raised the headstock to the drill press position and my 2003 SS headstock locked up. After the initial panic and obligatory expressions were uttered the diagnosis was the inner spindle bearing failed. I found that bearing types etc. have been throughly discussed. This is my take on r...

SWMBO can't let her baby (Vette) get cold.
