Q:
Don't termites most often attack older buildings?
A: Termites have been found in buildings as early as four days after
construction. Every building containing wood is a potential target of
termites. Chemical

Hi all:
An interesting thread.
The way which I use to mark hinges in a true fashion (if
they are the butt type) is to open them out fully with the
round spindle away from the work surface, open the hinge to
more than 180 degrees, and carefully use this angle on the
edge of the door to true it with

Hi John,
I have been looking but can't find any reference to this peculiar and
apparently unique mitre slot arrangement. I did however find this, a rather
wonderful sounding mitre gauge from houseoftools.com pasted below. I would have
to buy a better saw for a tool like this.
I'll keep looking
I believe both LS&s group and Maxi aids have it.
the construction and techniques are very similar in both units, I
would not expect one to ware any better than the other.
I've heard though that cobolt is good about replacing inoperable
units, drop them a line and ask.

Hi All, My wife just noticed some light surface rust spots on my table saw.
There is an overhead cold water pipe. For a few weeks I didn't have the saw

Hi Jewel,
I like to use spring loaded centre punches to mark screw holes. These have a
cone shaped nose which centers the punch in the hole and as you press down a
little spring trips to add a punch to a pointed end. I often repeat a couple of
times. If necessary I then tap a small nail into th

I have some rust remover I bought from thesawshop.com last winter, it is a mild
acid so needs to be used with a little caution. You mist the surface then wipe
it away fairly rapidly, it sort of fogs the surface but if left too long it
also produces corrosion.

Probably the nose of the punch was too big for the hole so the taper wasn't
seating into it. I have four different sized spring loaded punches and a set of
about 30 of the other sort which are sized to fit exactly into the hole.
Impossible to miss with them.
