    Finally built up enough nerve to attempt dovetailing some drawers for a project for LOML. I'm using a PC router with D handle and a 14 degree dovetail bit on a Rockler dovetail jig. Spacing and depth are great. My problem is that the dovetails are too tight. I have to hit them really hard...

    Shop electrical problems?

    I recently purchased a new air compressor. The old one just kind of faded away, the motor seamed to just lose power and run slow and then finally wouldn't start. The new one worked great till i plugged it into to the same outlet and then it wouldn't run at the right speed. I moved it to an...

    Posting problems

    Tried to make a post with a couple pics and got a msg that I had used 2279302 characters and should reduce to 2000. I am sure I didn't use over 2 million characters in this post. Any ideas as to what is going on? Mike

    Picture problems on iPod/iPhone

    I've noticed when I view threads on the mobile site on an iPod, the picture links are either not there, or linked wrong. Is anyone else having this issue, or am I missing something in user preferences?

    I've dissolved the dye in denatured alcohol and both sprayed and wiped it, but I'm getting a lot of "spotting" and streaking from what looks like the solvent evaporating too quickly. The problem is that I'm having a heck of a time getting rid of these and getting the color on four different...

    Problems....

    I haven't utilized the new photo post software yet as I had nothing to upload. But today I do. I can't figure it out, or at least I am told that I don't have the permissions to do it. Also I just noticed that my PM box went from almost unlimited to full. This is why I hate change :evil: Dave:-)
