BLO and other drying oils can spontaneously combust if you use rags and toss them into an open garbage can or leave in a pile. Make sure they are spread out individually or kept submerged in a bucket of water. They can't generate heat and start a fire that way. You can toss them into a wood...

Easiest is to click the Report button at the bottom of the post and ask a moderator to do it. They will usually oblige. Pete

Be happy to take the little beasties back as long as you come and get your Starlings, Sparrows, Thistles, other weeds and Rats your ancestors brought over. If the Indigenous Peoples had there way you could take all your ancestors back too. 😉 Pete

The ones I have seen and considered making were of White Oak (use the heartwood where the Tyloses have filled), charred lightly to make a decent black and the outside is an oil/bee's wax finish. Claimed the charred oak enhances the Oaked flavour of aged whiskey. I doubt sitting in a tumbler for...

I was taught by my Danish trained father to set the middle of the board down over the cutter head. Then cut the trailing end. Rotate and repeat. When close to flat, do the entire board. Basically Gap>>>Cutting. Rotate, Gap>>>Cutting. And finish Cutting>>>>>>>. I do the same if it is a 400mm or a...

Old fan may have been in tolerance so there was nothing to correct whereas the new one may have needed some work to bring into tolerance. Pete

There is a very good scroll saw for sale on this forum right now. You should be beating the door down to get it. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/hegner-multicut-2-scroll-fret-saw.146290/ Pete

I have, a 6" on my 1st table (cabinet, 5hp) saw. It worked just fine. I made throat plates and brought the dado up through it to create a zero clearance plate. Depth it would cut was limited and the bottom wasn't flat as the teeth could only be made to cut flat at only one width. I gave it to a...

Gents I have no problem with people having other ideas or reservations about what I suggest. There are so many ways to skin a cat with pros or cons to each. I have two other suggestions that might be more acceptable to your safe working practices. First, still with the table saw is to mark the...

Since you are only talking about a few pieces of furniture you have a couple options over and above or in combination with the router. First consider doing it with hand planes and sandpaper. Look for a wood plane with a round bottom that will plane a round bottomed groove. Sometimes you can...

Make yourself your own version of the Dust Deputy Bagger. I did. You want to look for thicker contractor type bags because some of the household ones tear/puncture more easily. Put it on a cart if you want to move it around. A link to a short video showing how it works. Pete

I know you don't need the power and torque but there are scads of free treadmills around with DC motors begging to be repurposed. With considering. Because of the water I would be looking for a three phase motor, sealed for wet conditions and a VFD to control it. Fractional horse power motors...

Wally you click on the Start Conversation and dialog box opens looking much like the ones when you post in the thread. Fill in a title. If talking to multiple people add their names. Write whatever you like in the dialogue box.\ When ready you click the Start Conversation button under the...

Was it Spectraply? https://www.cwp-usa.com/collections/spectraply-panels Pete

So are most of us and any that say they don't make mistakes are liars. Never too old to learn. Right? Pete

Wally it is dumb to post your information on the open forum. It give rat bags directions to come an take your stuff. Edit out of your post if you still can otherwise get a moderator to do it. Take care of all the questions and transactions via the Start Conversations button when you hover your...

Search out scratch stock or scratch beading tools. You can file the shape you need out of some steel (old handsaw for example) and replicate the profile exactly in the edge of a wide board (makes it easier to hold) then saw the moulding off. For a short run of material it is a inexpensive and...

As is a raised bed or a compost bin. Pete

Speaker ports are the right shape but hard to find in 150mm/6". 100mm/4" more common. Companies that sell parts to audiophiles carry them along with online sellers like Amazon, and the ones in China. I have not tried one so can't say how durable they will be...
