leaking lead water mains pipe problem

One such putty is Unibond Express repair, which must be applied to the crack when it is dry: http://www.unibond.co.uk/loctite/repairxpress.html Your loca DIY shed or car spares shop will likely stock it.

New car cheaper than used

If you have a dealer or perhaps a major shop do your work, it may show a nice paper trail of good service. But if you change your oil every 500 miles and new hand polished spark plugs every month and do the work your self, nothing shows up.

Walnut and Glue

Back in high school wood shop days we would glue poplar up for lathe turnings. We would glue a sacrificial piece on the bottom of the stack with a piece of newspaper between the good stuff and the sacrificial. When we were done turning we would pop off the sacrificial piece.

How can I determine if magnetic starter (switch) on my Grizzly 1023 is damaged?

Are you absolutely sure of that -- that is, are you sure your shop is on same source voltage as the shop from which it came?

Rebuild cordless batteries

The one in the shop - a ratchet that I used to drive a hex wrench that was in the charging unit - but didn't last half a summer. It is dead. And I used it a number of times, then stopped using it and it got hot. Hot. The one in the house - a small hand hex tool unit - works just fine.

Band Saw Blades

Cold weather experience with Titebond III?

If you don't want to warm the whole shop, and the projects are small enough, let the wood and glue sit in the house and warm for a few hours, take it all into the shop for glue-up and return it back to the house to setup. Even just the warmth of a mud room, etc is probably enough.

Although I've outsourced production to a CNC machine shop across town, these were cut with a (CNC) router with a 1/4" carbide bit and worked with woodworking tools: http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/SuperZero/and the aluminum motor mounts here were machined with the same router: ...

Skil saw kickback (kickoff)?

Sounds like that ancient high school safety film shown in most shop classes back in the 50s, where a student sets the table saw blade way low so the cutting force is pushing horizontally instead of high so the teeth are pushing the work down onto the table surface.

Ping Garage Woodworks

In the ShopNotes current magazine, Vol.19 Issue 109 there is a 4 page article on building a cart that holds your shop vacuum, Oneida cyclone system, and it's hoses. I recall you mentioning the possible need to make the container more stable.
