  autostart generator Generac? Kohler? other?
Posted by: anwalt - 09-29-2015, 05:34 PM - Forum: Home Improvement - Replies (6)

Being a Generac tech I won't comment on the relative merits. Generac's sizing for gas sounds right but I don't have my tables at hand. I can check later. What makes you think you can run 60' of 3/4"?

  Router dust collection

My suggestion would be a shop vac, instead of a dust collector for that small of a hose.

  Stanley patent date question...regarding transitionals
Posted by: Scott W - 09-29-2015, 02:32 AM - Forum: Woodworking Hand Tools - Replies (1)

Interesting, Stanley produced the No.22 from 1870 to 1943.

I have a Transitional No.26 Jack plane that found for $20 and cleaned it up and sharpened the blade and it works as well as any of my other metal body planes.

I just had to reply, simply to appreciate your precision in specifying a three toed sloth, rather than the faster two toed variety.

  Rusty Chisels
Posted by: petertay15 - 09-28-2015, 10:04 PM - Forum: Woodworking Hand Tools - Replies (7)

I don't know if everyone has a woobie, but they are a venerable old shop rag semi soaked in whatever oil you embrace for hand tools. I like Camellia oil. I store my better tools (those I fret over if they rust) inside slightly oiled tube socks I buy on the cheap at flea markets for pennies a pair. I also keep those better tools inside a wooden tool chest. I check them twice a year and give them a light rub to re-oil them, and back they go. I also rub them well after use, and return them immediately to their sock. I am in SW Ohio, and we have wicked fluctuating humidity levels here throughout the year, sometimes into the high 90% range.

The only ones where I couldn't keep the rust off were the LN socket chisels, but I don't have any of them anymore. Not sure why, others don't seem to have a problem with them, but I sure did. For reference I have a few Blue Spruce, and LV PM-V11 chisels, and by far they are almost rust proof. YMMV

Read the specs for the sink. That should tell you what is required to mount it.
