    Cleaning shop...

    I had a few thoughts... Why the heck do I keep all the crap I keep? I threw out so much useless scrap wood it's silly.

    Help cleaning my Old 'Arn

    Well, I have my new arbor bearings and I have to put the thing back together but there's some rust and debris on the parts. What's the best way to clean them up before I reassemble the arbor? I was planning on using mineral spirits and a brass brush. Is a Scotch Brite pad too abrasive?

    cleaning clamps

    Anyone have a good method for cleaning glue off of clamp bars. I have some Bessey's that need attention due to sloppy clamping. I have thought of using my angle grinder with a wire wheel, but thought I would ask first. Thanks.
