Gads!! With all the dowels I already had plus all the ones I've been making lately trying different methods of making them, I realized throwing them at one end of my bench isn't cutting it as storage!! What a colossal mess!! So I decided to make storage for different size dowel. Mainly for 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2". Here are the pieces for each storage unit cut up. There will be three. Each storage unit is made up of 1/4" baltic birch plywood as a backer board and three 2" diameter x 1" pieces of scrap pipe. The 1st ring is the bottom. I used 5 minute epoxy to adhere a piece of Baltic Birch on and flush trim routed it. Vertically the 2nd ring is spaced 3" on center to the 1st. The 3rd is spaced 5" from the 2nd. Then I epoxied these on the backer board as shown here. This spacing of the rings allows for different dowel length storage. I can store as small as a 2-1/2" long piece and as long as 36" or longer with these storage units. Here's an overall dimensional view: On the back of each one I made a couple of keyhole slots which enable me to quickly pluck each storage unit off the cabinet if I need to for any reason. Thanks for looking! Feel free to comment, ask questions and " thumbs up " if you like it! Cheers! MrRick

I'm fixing some exterior window trim which is water damaged. The window doesn't get any protection from the elements. I replaced the trim over 15 years ago and used wood. Rain water goes where it wants to so this time I'm going to use Azek brand PVC. I've used lots of PVC on the exterior of the house to replace window sill nosings and corner trim boards. The window trim boards are 1 inch thick. I've got a lot of 1/2" thick PVC and would like to laminate the 1/2" pieces to make the 1" thick pieces. I know that Azek has a PVC glue but the reviews I have seen are mixed. Some folks use regular plumbing PVC glue. There are adhesives and solvent based products that weld/bond the PVC to itself. I would like to get a good weld/bond that will seal out water. Anybody have any experience with this and can recommend product(s)?

I made some covers for my turning tools from PVC pipe. It is durable and can be formed for a snapin fit. Just use a heatgun to form the pipe around the tool . You may have to heat again to get the correct snapin fit. You can round the tip to match the tool or make the PVC curve or flatten to match tools such as a Spindle Roughing Gouge or skew and scraper. By making the PVC pipe longer you can fit it over the ferrell also .

I am trying to find someone to help a pastor who had open heart surgery. He and wife have been living in a small camper for almost three years. Someone gave him a doublewide that needed a lot of work. His medical problems have taken all his money set aside to remodel the trailer. Calling on people I know, we have done everything but the plumbing, and I can't find anyone to do it. It seems that it stayed connected to water system during a winter and some of the pipes underneath busted. The pipes are larger o.d. and, I have been told, is made of poly butyl. Am I going to be able to find adaptors to replumb using cpvc and retain the poly butyl? Seems folks are shying away from this for some reason! Any experience in this type repairs/suggestions? Thanks!
