Cleaning up an old table saw

Sorry Han, To explain my response, and where I have witnessed your second statement being not true "all of the time" is in Swingman's shop. I understand how the condensation principal works. BUT a few years ago Swingman and I were working in his shop, it had been quite warm.

Painting a Plywood Floor

Sort of a dream shop for me. Before moving here, my shop was in the basement. Now I'll have more room, both horizontally and vertically. I hope water vapor isn't an issue.

Plunge saw choices

One of his "Postcards" was a story about the machine shop who invented "ViceGrips". Story went to great lengths to show all the unusual ways they jerry rigged "ViceGrips" to solve problems.

I have a problem with a GFCI tripping every time I turn on my shop fan. This line has a 40" shop fan (on a wall switch) and three outlets. I can use the outlets fine, but when I turn on the fan, it runs for about ten seconds and then it trips the GFCI.

How to dig deep post holes with water?

I don't know how well it will work with wet clay, but I've dug 4' deep post holes and even buried a 55 gallon drum as a dry well with not much more than a shop vac. Granted, I've got sandy soil with few roots, so shaving the side of the hole with the shop vac hose was a breeze.

home repair, interesting problem

He took a shop vac up on the roof thinking he needed to clear a bird nest out of the vent pipe. THere was no bird nest. He did find out that while he had the shop vac running the toilet on the first floor would flush. What has he done wrong? Norm
