I do humbly apologize again. :oops: here is a new one .... A very attractive woman goes up to the cash register in a restaurant. She gestures to a man behind the counter, who, after viewing her assets, comes over immediately. When he arrives, she seductively signals that he should bring...

Big humble apologies for posting this last one, had been posted. I must have had a senior moment! :oops:

A local preacher was paying a visit to one of his church members on a Friday night, and heard a loud party as he approached the house. He knocked on the door and the owner answered. Behind him, he saw a circle of naked men, with blindfolded women moving from man to man, fondling each man's...

Thanks very much. I will definitely look. Still trying to clean it up and get model numbers. :D

I was given a Rockwell 16" Scroll Saw. There is no motor or switches. What size motor should I fit, what size pulley on the motor and what electric switches? Many thanks. :o

Sorry, but I tend to be a bit old fashioned. What would one use a nail gun for? I generally use screws, dowls, biscuits and the odd panel pin. :shock: :?:

Evening I get some "raw" timber now and again. I seal the ends with PARAFFIN WAX", and leave it in a corner next to my lathe for a few months. depends on how thick it is. Just got to watch for borer etc. :D

very good! here is one on how to grovel! :) Dear Spike, I have been unable to sleep since I broke off your engagement to my daughter. Will you forgive and forget? I was much too sensitive about your tattoos and piercings. I now realize that motorcycles aren't really that dangerous, and I...

Sorry not wood related. What is the differnece between an accountant and 1 sperm cell? The sperm cell has a 1 in a million chance of becoming a human being. What is the difference between an accountant and a computer? The computer has a personality. :D :P :lol:

Thanks Scrit - i have been debating on welding up a new base, far more sturdier than the Mechano set that they provide. i have lost count of the number of bruises and cuts attributable to this saw, and yet it still does a GOOD job. :D (hammer)

I have used a chain saw to take down two large trees, and trim the limbs whats left. Just be VERY CAREFUL as it is more dangerous than anything in your workshop! 8)

Had my Dewalt Radial arm saw for 7 years. Great piece of equipment. Use it far all my cross cutting, angles and mitres. I have a Rockwel table saw for all rip cutting. A downside of the Dewalt is that if you bump the damn thing, OUT GOES the alignment, and it takes an hour or two to reset. :D

I am probably a bit old fashioned in that i prefer to draw by hand. (first computer was an APPLE IIE, and there was not much in those days, about 30 years ago!) The WWW has a lot of ggod stuff on it. Unfortunately i have to convert most of it from inches to metric. (hammer) :D
