Haven't seen this one posted before.











There is a rather badly repaired break under that tape that I think I can improve on. If not, I'm out $15 and some time and I'll repurpose the clamp and ball joint.
Anyone heard of this maker? Know anything about them?

  My idea for a shed base
Posted by: Jeremy s - 09-24-2015, 12:18 PM - Forum: Home Improvement - Replies (4)

I think your best bet is to auger 12" holes below the frost line and install 6x6 posts seated ON (not in) concrete footers with some gravel packed around the posts, then build your level on those. That's what I did anyway. I have a 14'wide by 12' deep shed. I put posts at each corner and one in the middle of each 14' stretch. The shed remains solid and level for 5 years now.

As for the gravel, I don't think they are needed for stability, but I wish I had did that to keep vermin out from under the shed. I still could do that if I take up some floor boards.

As for the weed barrier - not necessary. Weeds won't grow under the shed anyway.

yep, pegboard works for me!

unless, of course, you're looking for a reason to buy a template!

if that's the case, i think i'd go with rockler.

  Help a new turner out. Questions about Powermatic lathe.
Posted by: John Clifford - 09-24-2015, 09:58 AM - Forum: Woodturning - Replies (2)

The main components of the lathes are the same. Differences: on the A, minimum speed is almost 0, low range from 0 to 1500 rpm, and 0 to 3,000 on the high range, compared to 50 to 1200, and 50 to 3200 on the B. The tailstock on the B has a lid over the hollow part, and the top of the headstock is flat with a pad on it. The B also has an electronic read out for rpm. I liked the A better because of the lower speed range, which is necessary for sanding out my warped bowls. There were minor changes in the banjo as well. The 3520 is probably the most popular 'big' lathe out there.

  BS guide options
Posted by: SteveS - 09-24-2015, 08:48 AM - Forum: Woodworking Power Tools - Replies (4)

Not sure about the guides, except, can they be cleaned?

I would think a 1" blade on a 16" bs would be the max I would want to use.

  How to cap off unused chimney flue
Posted by: shoottmx - 09-24-2015, 08:34 AM - Forum: Home Improvement - Replies (2)

Cap top or bottom. Just be sure the fireplace is the only thing that uses the flue!
Family room. Fireplace. Blocking flue. Just doesn't sound right to me!

I'm now living in FL and miss having a working fireplace.

  Where do you buy 1-2 close match bricks for a house?
Posted by: Destinmatt - 09-23-2015, 11:10 PM - Forum: Home Improvement - Replies (11)

Find a brick supplier - they do exist. They may have old stuff laying around. I worked for a tile store that kept odd lots of old stuff in their basement. My dad got bricks he needed for a patch - of course that was 50 years ago. There are also places that sell used bricks. Probably your best shot.

That's cool, but mine is attached to my shop apron, which goes on as soon as I enter the shop to do any work. I always know where it is.
