Tap washers from the pound shop

I can't get rid of just the pound shop rubber washers because they are all mixed together with good rubber washers! Is the rubber used in cheap tap washers usually naff and perishes quickly. Or do they actually hold out well?

Woodworking in Italy

One particular leather shop we visit every couple of years I can get 60% off or more. Best place to get cash at a reasonable exchange rate is the ATM (Bancomat). Start with the one at the airport so you have ready cash. Best restaurants?

wood model making

For detail parts (trees, cars, etc), visit your local hobby shop. They might have it in stock, but chances are they'll have to order it from Walthers. (You can order it directly from Walthers yourself, but if the LHS orders it you often don't have to pay shipping.)

Ground Beef Recall Expanded

I found a shop that I will visit when I pry my butt outta here, as I told Ann Nice project. They don't know what they be missin'! Cider needs to be fresh, unpastuerized, and the drops don't hurt a thing, add character, perhaps.

$2000.00 to spend on tools

Reasons: 1) The Shop Fox "Precision" fence used on the "Z" contains moving parts - some wheels that help guide the fence on the rails. 2) Before I bought my 1023S a couple of years ago I came across some reviews that said the wheels required maintenance and there might be a wear issue. 3) ...

how strong are pin shelf supports?

Unless you are storing lead bricks, the pins will be fine. I'm assuming you are talking about the "L" shaped ones with a pin, not the spoon shaped ones. They come with 1/4" pins too. OTOH, you have to drill holes for the pins :)
