Nice table. A really beautiful slab and I like the under carriage as well. Ken

How do we know which space is yours?

Go to craft supply site and look up their pepper mills. Then download their instructions, they are the ones I have been using for years. There is nothing wrong with the way you were able to increase the shaft length. I have not made the 6", just the 8" but don't see much difference.

It's all grandfathered, as long as you don't touch it. But if you do a service upgrade, you may have to update a lot of it. The grounding electrode system is a system, using the cold water pipe and (probably) two ground rods 6 ft apart [NEC 250-56], but ground rods are the least of your worries. Depending on the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), you may have to install 120V smoke detectors in every bedroom, in every hallway outside a bedroom, and at least one on every floor, wired together so they all go off at once.

The kitchen and baths are way out of date, but I don't think the AHJ will try to make you update them. The K&T, though, they just may.

It's NJ. Strap on your cast iron underwear, hope for the best, and plan for the worst. You need to speak with them directly to find out what they would require, as the NEC does not have specific requirements as to what gets upgraded or brought up to code when replacing a service. That's usually up to the AHJ. When I lived in Edison, the building departments were a nightmare. Not as bad as NYC, but bad. Up here, they're really helpful and easy to work with, but I still had to wire for smokes as I mentioned above when I built my basement office.

And yes, I would think you'll be forced to use AFCI's for all of the bedrooms, and possibly more rooms, as that's how the wind is blowing these days.

But you really need to sit with them. If they'll do that. Or crack open your vault, and hire an electrician.

you may find that the rough elevation requires reaching under the table

I like the fine adjustment but have not used mine in a table

Kano Kroil you won't find better for breaking old parts loose, gunk and dried, locked up, whatever comes off easily. Guys at work use it for pump repair. Some of the pumps have been installed underground for up to 100 years. We make products from rendered down animal fat. You can't imagine 100 years of caked on, baked on, lard. Rust is easy

It ain't cheap, but wow does it work.

I have the Rolair and I love it.
Very quiet and dependable

WOW

Wonder how long that took to make?

Cool! Love the design.

Where do you get reliable clock mechanisms? The ones I bought at a local woodworking store were horrid. They came from Penn State...failed within a short time.

Probably better overall than red where working with an edge is concerned. Red can be sanded, of course, but the white I've worked hasn't needed it after the plane or scrape. Shines back at ya.

Its 200 miles south to get to white oak from here, which is why I use mostly red.
