  1. Here in California you must run a seperate 20' lenght of #4 rebar centered in the foundation to act as a ground. Can someone please tell me why this is better than the rebar that is all connected for the foundation (80' in my case) ?? Thanks

  2. On splintering on the table saw.- After you get all the adjustments right make yourself a "0" tolerance throatplate. This is the piece that incircles the blade. The best material would be 1/2" baltic birch with melamine on top. After you get it to fit the saw nice and snug, completly lower the blade, and raise the saw up through the insert (hold insert down with another board) until you get to your normal blade height ( 1/4" above material thickness.) Good luck!!

  3. Impressive this site went up in no time flat. My son is home all day tomorrow. I promised to help him with his bodykit(fiberglass-yuk!) maybe he'll help me with the digital pictures.

  4. O.K. the drawer looks much better. I have to learn how to upload and download pictures. Theres tons of cool stuff I built when I worked for a custom cabinet shop. But no pictures at all. The T.V. reminds me of one we build for Linda Ronstant. It was at the foot of her bed inside a (blanket) cabinet. With the push of her renmote it raised up. Never did meet her though, or her room for that matter. She was cute back in the early 80"s

  5. Nice work JRA!!!. I teach Woodworking here in Sacramento. Been teaching since '78 both Junior and Senior High. Had a 3 year stint in a custom cabinet shop. My speciallty there was custom conferance tables. My baby was a 11' x 17' walnut oval with 1/4" brass inlay. The table was build in 3 pieces so the ends could be joined to make a seperate table. Also have(probably had) a few pieces in the state capital and attorney generals office. If its wood in my house I built it. Couldn't afford to buy it anyway.

    Any way if you have questions I'll try to answer. Sorry no pics (my son has to teach me.

    The dovetailed drawer? The bottom tail looks wide (sorry thats the teacher in me

  6. O.K. heres a cheap way to reuse COPPER washers. Heat till orange with propane torch. Immediately drop in water. It will expand and re-anneal(soften) the copper. Its basically brand new. Good for at least 5 oil changes,. Am I cheap or what?

  7. Hondabond. If you put it on at the exhaust flange to engine mount your burning that stuff right off. Doughtfull if you should of used any sealer. You need asbestos, copper o-rings or similiar material to seal in area of high heat. I could remember when my kid painted his exhaust manifold (it was beautiful) until the heat burnt it right off. Need 1500 degree stuff here

  8. Try a hair dryer and peel it off. I used a product called "Goof Off" to remove the adhesive on my bike. The Auto Paint stores also sell a type of erasing wheel you put on a drill. A single edge razor blade will also help, just keep a low angle, will probably have to sand and feather a bit. Have fun
