Shower Grab Bars for Built-in Shower |

I need to install some grab bars in my inlaws' shower. It is a one piece acrylic/plastic shower unit. Typical install where there is space between the shower unit and the wall. It is only attached around the edges on the flange. I think the studs are 24" OC. I could locate them from the other side of the wall in the bedroom and then measure or confirm the location above the shower. What can be done/is typically done in this situation? I could open the wall on the other side and put blocking in if necessary, but I'd prefer not to.

One of my winter projects will be to build two saddle-seat counter-height stools, sorta like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Clas...9650&psc=1
Our counters are 36" high so I am thinking +/-28" height, seat dimensions 12"X16", splayed legs to maybe 14"X18". I have a ton of 5/4 prime straight-grained walnut that will be used, and I want to avoid the battleship-type construction used in most of my projects over 50+ years (no linebackers will ever sit on these!). M&T joints for stretchers and footrests. Maybe a 1/2" "saddle depth" across the width. Finish likely just Danish oil. Questions:
1) How would you fashion the "saddle" for this? My plan is to bandsaw out the general outline and then chisel/scrape/sand to finish-ready. I do not have any of the large-scale carving/shaping tools like a scorp but have a foam-pad PC ROS, a 6X48 belt sander, and a bench spindle sander. One thought is to make a sanding block from one of the bandsaw cutouts.
2) Would you taper the legs, likely to be about 1"X2" finish dimension?
Any other ideas or comments? TIA.

Delta Unisaw motor stopped working |

It has been over a year since I have been able to work in my shop and am now finally able to. I pushed the ON switch to my Unisaw, it powered up for maybe 1/10 of a second, and stopped. I then bypassed the switch and connected the motor wires to the power wires, and plugged it in. As soon as I did that, I got a spark from the plug, a little smoke, and the plug got really hot!
My neighbor helped me remove the motor and we visually inspected the capacitors, and there was nothing visible that led us to think they were faulty.
Is there any way to determine if they are faulty, or is there anything else I could/should do to keep from having to drop $1000 on a new motor?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I really like the digital readout by Wiley for my Sawstop
Makes repeat cuts very reliable.
I am running through battery’s fairly quickly forgetting to turn it off.
Is there a way to set it to turn off after a set period of time?
