Generally it is because the original poster linked the pictures offsite with a hosting company (like Photobucket) and they are no longer there or the site is gone. Therefore no pictures in the threads. That's why it is best to upload picture to the forum so as long as the forum exists we can see...

I bought a set of Phi rules from Lee Valley a while back when they were introduced. Measure along one edge and then the same number on the other gives you the second dimension. Easy enough to work with and not horribly expensive. I admit to only using them a couple times or so thus far. There is...

I wonder how they would work for wooden boat construction/repair? Pete

I would pull the white wheel off and run the grinder without anything on the shafts to see if it is still unbalanced and takes a while to slow to a stop when switched off. If it takes a while to slow to a stop the bearings are good. If it runs smooth then the wheel needs to be dressed. Unless...

If you are sure the original threads have not been damaged or altered the Nova lines of chucks can be purchased with inserts to fit your lathe. https://www.teknatool.com/products/chuck-accessories/nova-chuck-inserts/nova-chuck-insertsadaptors/ Oneway makes chucks with adaptors too...

I understand the difficulty choosing a DC when they appear much the same on the outside. Unfortunately the makers and sellers have a tendency to exaggerate and emphasize some aspects and ignore others. Of the two machines you're looking at the iTech has twice the horse power as the Axminster yet...

Variations used extensively in aircraft manufacturing to hold sheet metal parts and assemblies together for riveting etc. There might be other applications that used them too. Pete

You can cut threads with a router that will chip and crumble less. They are available to cut up to 1 1/2". https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/search#q=Beall%20wood%20threading%20kits&t=product-search-tab&sort=relevancy&layout=card&numberOfResults=25 When they first came out I offered to get one...

Did a search for wood threading tools and found Amazon has a few. Maybe they ship to you. A search of asian selling sites might have the same at lower prices...

I can't say why but when I read the thread title I wondered why anyone would want to soak a kid in herbs and flowers? Then I realized it didn't say infused. 🙄 My buddy gave each of his kids their own little tool box with a hammer, some screwdrivers, glue, pencils, tape measure and colouring...

If the moisture content in the slab is close to other wood you have in the house then attach the legs to the top with mortices, tenons (cut with a tenon cutter in a drill/drill press or doweled. The small amount of movement the top may go through will be "absorbed" by the top of the legs...

Try Annular Cutters. Example below. https://www.cutwel.co.uk/12mm-diameter-raptor-m2al-annular-cutter-50mm-depth-of-cut-rapl-series-rotabroach-rb-rapl120 Pete

If getting the jobs out of the way is paramount then send it back for a refund and drive to the nearest local seller and walk out of the store with it. I'm not sure how it is for you but there are over 20 sellers in Saskatoon (pop approx 300,000) according to Makita's website. Might cost more...

From the end closest to the camera it looks like the beam was notched to take the rafters (?) reducing it to more of a 47 x 100 beam. I not an engineer but I doubt doubling the beam would work long term because of the notches unless you can fit a deeper board. Maybe cutting a pocket in the posts...

I wonder if it was made of some spare parts by a home machinist. Maybe a kit? Pete

Welcome to the forum. Nice to see tools made that are functional and honest rather than fancy and pretty. Just so you know Dovetail is a she and not a Mr. ;) and probably got a chuckle out of it. Pete

Not a clockmaker myself but found a few that might fit your need.....I think. This side of the puddle I'm afraid. https://areksmurrayclock.com/movements-quartz/ https://timelyandtimeless.com/collections/all-replacement-movements-for-quartz-battery-operated-clocks My browser is a little too...

"Vibration wakes …well it’s a 750 watt sander and after 90 mins use I had some tingling in my finger tips for 5 mins or so after use." If you have tingling in your hands during or after use you are damaging the nerves in your hands. The amount of time you can work before the tingling starts...

Another option are castors and separate floor locks. Step on them to raise the machine off the floor. Step or kick the release and they come back down to use the castors. Some can hold up a ton...

In the early 80s my room mate bought a 26' fibreglass Folkboat off a couple that were going to sail around the world. They left Vancouver and got as far as Mexico before they had to come back. She got pregnant and three is a crowd. I had a great time sailing with him in and around the Gulf...
