Joining two pieces of oak plywood without fancy equipment?

When I butt the two ends together, the seam is barely visible - it disappears enough for my needs, so I think I'm almost home free. I'll probably use a bit of wood putty to fill any imperfections, maybe making the seam even less visible in the process.

I would strongly advise that whatever you get you go to a local equipment shop. Sears cannot provide the personal service or technical know-how and many times cannot easily provide parts. Your local small-engine outfit will keep your machine running long with none of the hassle of Sears.

The kind that have a U-shaped tube that ends in a plastic base and there are 4 pins sticking out. The thing/balllast has four small holes where the bulb plugs in. The metal pins inside the ballast may be expanded and so the bulb pins do not make contact.

Cast iron kettle bell

The bottom of the Instructables page, right hand tile, shows a handle modification, with rope and security pins. I don't think much of the rope, but the security pins would probably help.

2 pin shuttered electrical socket belgium

Any standard 16A european socket should accomodate 4.8mm diameter pins. Only the special slim-line 2-pin socket designed solely to accept the 2.5A Europlug will have smaller holes.

Beginner's Choice of Digital Camera

Drag the files from the card in the camera to your hard drive. I would never install any crapware that comes free with a camera.
