I have been working on various projects in the shop recently. Since I am retired, I basically work on whatever I fancy to do on that particular day. I have several projects to share today. I retrieved this blue medical cart out of the dumpster at work many years ago. I built the riser from...

Very handsome Canine! Never heard of the breed before. Thanks.

Daily walk... this time in the snow:

"Buddy" & "Bronco" enjoying the snowfall; both are now gone... 🙁 (130 & 110 pounds respectively. Tore a hamstring lifting the little one!)

My wife and I have been married for 33 years (or so, I lose track of the years :unsure: )... In that time, we have adopted 15 dogs and fostered another two. Sadly, loss is an inevitable part of the process. Our most recent and tragic loss was that of an "American Bully" Pit Bull named "Roxie"...

We miss them all... the more, the merrier...

Welcome on board. Looking forward to your insights. I hope to learn from you, as I have from many on this site. There are a great bunch of guys here. Too bad I would have a long swim to meet many of them... ;)

YES! That is the one! Thanks! Great stuff...

Yes, very similar! I would also like to put mine back into service, but it has a nasty kink in the plate. I need to do some research on how to remove kinks! :)

For those interested in Citric Acid for rust removal; watch the video below. I tried it and it works fabulously!!! I have ditched the "Evaporust", which in general works well, but I hate the yellow slime it deposits on tools (sulfur?), and does not last very long. Note: for some reason, the...

Yes indeed. The saw is clearly second quality. Thank you, Jacob. Your research capabilities are very impressive! :)

Greetings Brothers, Has anyone come across a saw similar to this, or by the same company? I cannot find it in my references. "The Daedalus Saw" "Made for Charles Mann & Co. "Harringay" "Sheffield Made". It appears to be an inexpensive saw. Perhaps a child's toy saw? It is approximately 18...

Thank you , John. This one looks to be appropriate. The saw-nut holes even appear to line-up properly. She will have to do without a real medallion however...

I have this old Spear & Jackson saw plate that I purchased as is; no handle or nuts. I cannot find the same trademark anywhere in my reference books. Any thoughts as to vintage? I suspect it is circa 1850 to 1880. Additionally, I would very much like to re-handle this saw, and get it back to...

By far, IMO, the best place to search for old manuals is a free site; Vintage Machinery. It is run by Keith Rucker, who is also on YouTube, with a great many educational machine repair videos. He is amazing! Here is the link: http://www.vintagemachinery.org Good luck. P.S. This may also be...

I have also found that the switches are usually the point where they fail most often. Replacements for older models may be hard to find. You may have to get creative... perhaps adapt a conventional switch to your RAS, but definitely worth the effort. I have had two RASs in the past. My first...

Agree with all stated... To quote a dear machinist friend: "You can do small work on a big lathe, but you cannot do big work on a small lathe"...

Very fine restoration...

Thank you for this insight. I have a lot to sell, but not a lot of time (or skill) to develop a website. Additionally, I have found that all of the IT people I know (friends) are unwilling to help set-up a new website. They are probably aware of the various pitfalls that you have mentioned...

Has anyone taken the plunge... and constructed their own website in order to sell items???? I am currently investigating the feasibility on Wix.com.
