Use a key with a spring loaded center pin which pops the key out if you let go. I store the key on the right side of the belt housing with one of those dime diameter rare earth magnets.

Here in Australia we have some stuff called Denkorub which is a deep
heat type thing for muscle soreness - after a football game you can usually smell the change rooms from 200 feet away because of the stuff. You learn at an early age to wash your hands twice before you go to the dunny after using the stuff.

My press is close enough to the outlet that I can strap it to the cord.
It's also a self-ejector. Didn't plan it, just worked out that way. Also has a hole in the rear of the table designed to put the longer arm of the handle in. "Doug Miller" wrote in message . com...

I recently made a donut chuck from MDF so I can reverse mount a bowl and
detail and sand the bottom. I made it with sections of threaded rod so I can adjust a wide range of bowl heights. My first one was rather short so I had about 4 inches of threaded rod exposed out the backside of the chuck (I figured there would not be a safety issue on the backside) On my first run the thing went great, the bottom cleaned up beautifully. I was so proud, my head grew two sizes, proportionally my safety awareness shrank two sizes and I reached to turn of the machine......passing my hand right through the spinning threaded rods that I couldn't see spinning at 1000rpm. I got one of those nasty THUMP...OUCH....grab your hand and squeeze while your mind wonders if your fingers are still going to be attached and in one piece when you look.. Luckily it only caused some minor bruising and small cuts. Once bitten, twice shy..... |

Ever spliced an extension cord to make it longer. Here's how:

I heard that differently.
I heard that the scots regiments took fewer casualties from mustard gas because of the argyle socks, which, because they are 100% wood with lanoline, were resistant to the gas. Mind you, I'm not sure I buy that. But it makes a good story. Here are two that you CAN look up, though. The scots DID, in fact wear thier kilts into battle during WWI. They fought so fiercely that thier German opponents honored them with the epithet: The Ladies from Hell. http://www.army.mod.uk/highlanders/history.htm (Scroll down to 20th century wars) Hmmm. No woodworking in this post. Next week I'm donning costume and taking my antique hand tools up to Kentucky to spend the entire day demonstrating medieval woodworking techniques to middle-school and high-school students. I hope that out of the 500 or so that see me, one might be inspired to persue the making of sawdust. Scottish by heritage, American by the Grace of God, Bill Dave in Fairfax wrote in message ...
