    Stanley Bailey #4 smoothing bench plane

    If nails were hit the blade is probably junk. You may try sanding it with fine sandpaper on a flat surface to deal with any burrs at those gouges and try it. They might do nothing. Adjusting the blade and learning how to plane the grain of the wood is going to be the learning curve. And the...

    Good YT video on trying to make something in the USA

    @SC Maintenance, easy there I'm not ripping Kent bikes or you just making clear what they're doing. You said one step at a time as if they're on the way back to USA content and that's not true they're surviving. Kent bikes is a study of a company that started out producing bikes, USA...

    Forum clean language rules

    It's hardly the end of the world if the filter ####s the abbr. for Richard or dam with an en is it? The filter doesn't know context. Write what you want and let the filter do what it does, what the ####ed word is is usually obvious. I look at it this way, nobody is offended if someone...

    Selling off property question and problem.

    You already know the answer. You live there because you don't want to deal with people. Once you give a right of way and sell it you lose control of what happens. Maybe put a modular on the nicer high ground and sell the property you're in now? You'd still have people nearer but you'd be the...

    Good YT video on trying to make something in the USA

    Look at this timeline of Kent Bicycles. Kent bikes Note that BCA stopped production after 2020. BCA was a brand from the early days of mountain bikes, Kent must have bought the name. They tried and couldn't produce bikes and be competitive. The Kev Central YT video was 6 years ago and he...

    Good YT video on trying to make something in the USA

    Agreed. This was a project to see if it could be done and the 100% USA is extreme but it’s what many are thinking should happen but would be exceedingly hard.

    Good YT video on trying to make something in the USA

    You think someone with an idea for a USA made product would watch this video and say forget it? I'd say it's better to know what you're possibly up against early on. This is a very small uncomplicated product. Did anyone watch any of the video or just go off on a tangent? He couldn't...

    Good YT video on trying to make something in the USA

    This is a good YouTube channel if you're just interested in different stuff and how it works but this recent video is relevant to what's happening today. He goes through the struggle of trying to produce a completely Made in USA product using USA tooling. A $75 grill scraper certainly has a...

    Could be that they want driver skill involved not how well the robot was programmed? Answer: yes.

    Financial graphic comparison of buying a new or used car

    Worrying about saving a dollar kinda depends on income level. If your income comfortably exceeds your cost of living not such a worry. Lots of people not there. This is similar to @GON's recent post about carrying water and taking it literally or not. Has GON found a website with these...

    Retirement-Making sure Wife will be OK.

    Al, if you wanted to buy a $75k vehicle do you have to get permission? In your previous post it sounded like you turned over control of your finances. @GON, while anything is possible the Masonic Village being tied to Freemasonry makes it a bit different than straight up corporation health...

    New car purchase with evidence of accident, concern?

    Absolutely but the vast majority of people just don’t know what to look for. Most people don’t open the hood when buying a vehicle. Not so much in Arizona where OP and likely the buyer live. @panthermike who is the dealer?

    New car purchase with evidence of accident, concern?

    If you look close enough you can always find over-spray somewhere if it was repainted. The driver side door and fender don't match and the passenger side headlight was replaced. How much damage do you think it had? The most important question is what does the buyer think? Does what you...

    There are several Xterra forums. All seem active. I was in the 2nd two when I had the 2002 Xterra. A 2012 with 75k is a great find. https://www.thenewx.org/ https://www.clubxterra.org/ https://www.xterranation.org/index.php

    Any BITOGERs have or thought about converting their automatic garage door opener to a side/ wall mount

    Think of the angle the lifting bar would be at as it started pulling the door up if you used a conventional opener. It wouldn't be pulling up it would be pulling the top of the door at a sideways angle that got worse until the door got to the curve. Where are the tension springs on your...

    Any BITOGERs have or thought about converting their automatic garage door opener to a side/ wall mount

    Was unaware of side mount openers until I saw one in a new build. Worked very well, quiet and eliminated belt/chain etc. The problem to convert as GON said is an outlet. I’d try one.

    article: Previous owner retains control over Tesla

    You bought yours from Tesla at the mothership right? You'd expect it to be done right. Story didn't say where the guy bought his. You wouldn't expect say a Honda dealership to know the nitty gritty about all that Tesla on the phone stuff and make sure the old owner is gone etc etc.
