The library card file which I had posted came from a deceased woodturners shop. It was full of screws, bolts and assorted other metals including planer blades from 4 to 12 inch, Some brand new. Anyone interested in planer blades let me know. The case has been subjected to water or damp and has a musty smell and some black spots. Going to try Clorox today. Is there something to remove the musty smell?

In spite of having the Coffee Bar to finish I got distracted. OOOH i have been a baaad boy. Last week some of us woodturners went up into the Delta to visit a member and I got inspired by his cabinet arrangement. Was going to build more cabinets until I looked in my drawers and found some options to move around and get rid of others. One drawer was full of wood scrapes which came out. One had patterns from past projects which got moved away from turning area, another drawer empty. Sandpaper moved closer to lathe, two more empty. So here it gets interesting . remove Jacobs chucks, spur and steb drives and calipers from front of lathe to two empty drawers. Now have some empty drawers and will have to look at what goes in. 4 drawers will get Kazien Foam and cutouts for gouges , spurs, live centers. Now the question is what do you have lurking in the back of those drawers you have not used in 20 years?

I have had a Porter Cable 20V drill for 8 years and it has been a good one. It was not a cheap drill. Lately I have been so aggravated with the hand tightening chuck, it comes loose and whatever is in it........falls out. My attempts to get the chuck off had failed. It has a torx LH lock screw holding the main screw in. I broke one torx. I got some penetrating liquid spray and gave it a good spray.....then let it set thru lunch. I couldn't believe how easy it came off. After I got the chuck in my hand, I poured alcohol in all places where I could get it it, blew it out and repeated. I didn't think anything with oil should be used. I measure the thread so I could order a new half inch chuck with the proper thread. Today I installed the chuck and it works great, even to locking down too tight, requiring a lot of effort to loosen it. I suppose all those years and the dust that got in from drilling all kinds of material didn't allow it to fully tighten. This is my first experience with hand tightening chucks, Did I do it right? Any advise?

My shop is a small,15x15 area. No windows. I did clean up, a lot, before the photos. Don’t know what else to say...it’s small.

I have been putting off a rearrange, sort out and clean shop day. Today I got round tuit. Today was the last of our really warm days, we had 78 and I could have all the doors open. I got all of it done and some honey dos too. Tomorrow the hi temp will be near 40 with rain, snow and slush. The main objective tomorrow...........keep the doors closed.

I'm not much of a hand tool guy, but today I picked up a Disston D8 panel saw. It appears to be a 26", 10TPI, crosscut model and really has no damage other than poor care. You can barely make out the Disston markings on the blade, and I'd really like to restore this for occassional use as well as just the cool factor of having it. BTW, this saw cost me the princely sum of $2.50 plus Ohio ransom at the Restore. Is there a way to clean the blade of the rust and not damage the markings?

I'll tell ya something, you don't know what you have till you clean the old shop up! I am stripping out my cabinets of supplies, the finishing supplies cabinet, the hardware cabinet, the spray gun cabinet, and I forgot I had half of what I am seeing! Not too mention I am coming across items I forgot I had, yet I went to the big box store to buy anyway, I am finding 3 of the same items simply because I either forgot I had them or could not find them, and I went and bought another. Right now I am going through the finishing supplies stuff, about a dozen Minwax cans that must be 8 years old, since I don't use Minwax anymore they are old and crusty, going into the trash. I cleared out my hardware cabinet and half of that is going to dad's home for his "catchall" bucket of fastners and hardware. I just fired up the compressor so I can blow the cabinets out, came in to escape the noise. Ok, back out we go! CHAARRRRGE! What prompted this? I went out this morning to get reacquainted with my and realized, I need to get organized, this is ridiculous, I cannot work in chaos! Wish me luck!
