When I spoke with the park & recretion dept. about booking the Chapel Hill site, I didn't think about the possibility of a lumber...

    Glue question ...

    I've started using pre-finished ply for some case work but have encountered one issue. What kind of glue will adhere to pre-finished boards at butt joints? The joints are pretty solid as is because of the Dominoes but looking for a bit more strength. Thanks!

    Small Engine Question

    My riding mower won't turn over when starting. It is acting like the battery but both Auto Zone and Batteries Plus say it is good. Batteries Plus actually tested it under load. It is not the solenoid, I took a jumper cable direct from battery to starter. It will start if I jump it off a car...

    A few days ago there was a post asking about using a finish nailer for flooring. The collective wisdom was that a manual or compressed air assisted nailer was the right/best way to do this. I have read through those answers, but I have a different case. I am using knotty pine 'flooring' (5...

    A question I've had for a while

    Didn't want to hijack the latest thread in moderation so I'll start here anew. In instances where a thread is very likely to take a bad turn would it be beneficial to chime in as a moderator and remind folks to be careful not to go overboard with extreme opinions or examples? As I said in...
