I'm not sure where Pop-A-Top actually started out, but where I used to hear it, when you heard it, the lights came on and that meant you had to leave...
Thank you for the detailed directions! If I'm going to make a mountain out of a molehill I want to do it right! At this point, the idea of a 3"+ top is starting to make me drool.
I've been putting more thought into vises and drawers. The machinist vise idea doesn't seem as right anymore (the problem is that's what I grew up with...). I saw a likable looking "Emmet vise" in "The Workbench Book" (by Landis). That made me drool too. I haven't checked availability or prices. Some dang fool requested the book at the library, so I had to return it. So I ordered it from Amazon (along with another book along the lines of "fun with concrete").
I think among my first posts, we were talking about minstrel style banjos...
I try to keep working towards these goals...I'm on my 2nd rub brick, and am getting pretty good at SketchUp. Came home and raked leaves. I have a job. Life is good. Hope everyone herely mostly feels as good, or better.
