Hello All,

Is there anything special about the Rockler Drop Leaf hinges? Do the big box stores have an equivalent?

Thanks, Bill

  General International 15-250-M1 Drum Sander (SOLD)
Posted by: RonB1957 - 07-27-2024, 06:36 PM - Forum: Tool Swap N' Sell - Replies (3)

I recently came upon a Powermatic DDS225 dual drum sander at a reasonable price and bought it on a whim/ impulse. Did I really need it?? Probably not. So, yep, I've lost my mind. Anyway, now I need to sell my 24" General International dual drum sander. They will not both fit in my little shop. There are no issues with it. In fact there are a couple of things I like better on it than my newly acquired Powermatic, but that's the way it goes. It is a long shot but I thought I would post it here. Price =$1,800.00. I am located near St. Louis Mo. Edwardsville, IL. zip 62025. I am actually closer to a little town called Moro, IL.

More Specs: 3 HP, 15 amp, 220Volt. Serial # 16474504
Sander is SOLD.

  Sold Assorted lumber 8/4 Walnut,oak etc NW of FTW
Posted by: Robert Adams - 07-27-2024, 11:17 AM - Forum: Tool Swap N' Sell - No Replies

Located West NW of Fort Worth west of Lake Worth TX.

I'm freeing up space in the shop and since I haven't been doing any woodworking for the past 10 years or so I need the space and less lumber in the way. Used to make $ from woodworking and no longer enjoy it. No big amounts of anything and I haven't gotten to itemizing what's there. 
 
    One board of black Walnut 2 1/8" thick 8.5x11'3" There is another smaller piece as well. The long walnut board is rough sawn not planed. Just under 19bdft and locally rough walnut is going for $17bf so around $320 retail locally.

     There are a few white oak boards should be some red oak, hickory IIRC a couple 14" wide ash boards which were all one board at one time but it was over 16' long and didn't fit the storage area at the time.
        A couple small aromatic cedar boards and other cedar. 
          There is one board of IIRC Philippine mahogany or similar. Left side of pic
             The long 16' ish pine board I will most likely keep.

                Update. There are 4-5 6" wide hybrid cypress boards

         I'm in the process of getting it all organized then move it up to the garage and out of the shop to make it easier for the next hoarder to add to their stash. I haven't measured anything other than the walnut to figure up pricing. If I haven't updated with prices and you are interested make me an offer, I'm usually reasonable. The proceeds go to offset vet bills that cut into vacation funds. And delivery is available depending on how far you are.

  Rough-in valve screws that will pass inspection
Posted by: sleepy hollow - 07-27-2024, 09:53 AM - Forum: Home Improvement - Replies (3)

I cannot find any specific information online after extensive searching.  I have looked at the plumbing code and a variety of other sites.  No luck.  Here is the issue.

I passed my floor concealment plumbing inspection this week for my master bath remodel.  While looking over my new shower wet wall plumbing, the inspector indicated that the standard griprite gray deck screws may not be suitable for attaching the brass rough-in valves.  I was engaged in a variety of topics with him so never got back to ask for more specifics on this issue.  I figured I would just substitute brass screws and be done.  

I figured if I used non-ferrous screws I would be fine, but now I am wondering what exactly the code says.  I cannot find any reference to anything but the use of "corrosion resistant" screws in attaching toilet flanges to the subfloor.  I assumed he was referring to preventing galvanic corrosion.  My research there indicates stainless steel screws looks like they will work, though not sure I am reading that table correctly.  [Table found in this article:  https://www.monarchmetal.com/blog/galvan...-answered/]

Also chrome is good and apparently included in the coatings used by manufacturers.  Griprite has no info on their proprietary coatings, just a brand name.  

Does anyone know what the details are regarding any standards or other rules that can help guide me?  I'd rather stick with the installation I have than have to mess with it.  There are three valves, two shower head outlets and three body spray valves.  Brass screws are not cheap besides, an annoyance in the scheme of things to be sure.

So, any advice or additional education on this topic would be most appreciated.  

Thank you all.

  FS: Veritas Shooting Plane and Shoulder Plane
Posted by: Danxaz - 07-25-2024, 09:47 PM - Forum: Tool Swap N' Sell - Replies (4)

Shooting Plane has been sold.


I've decided to clear out some tools that I don't use.

This Veritas shooting plane is unused and in the original box. I planned to set this plane permanently up with a custom shooting board but, unfortunately, I never got around to it. It's been sitting around in my shop collecting dust. It has never touched wood - and comes with a PMV11 Blade. I originally paid $420 with tax. I am selling it for $340 plus shipping.

The shoulder plane is a Veritas Medium Shoulder Plane with almost no use. Comes with an A2 blade. I own the Large version, which I prefer and I've decided to part with this one. I'm asking $185 for this one plus shipping.

I can't post pictures on this forum to save my life so I've posted pictures on Flickr. Here's the link: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBB9Un

PM me with your interest and your address and I'll send you shipping costs.

Thanks!

  Honey locust & resin end table

My first attempt at making an end table. Honey locust I milled from a large tree branch I trimmed in my yard 2 summers ago and a river edge of Alumilite Deep Pour resin. The frame was something I welded up for this project. The tabletop measures 31.5 x 9 inch
