I really do appreciate all of the replies...

3' - 4' range...

Thanks for all of the replies. I'll likely try for boards in the 3"-4" length range. Ultimately, I'll let each board dictate the lengths I can obtain from them.

Not sure of red or white oak

I have a 6" RIGID jointer. Perhaps a pass on each side and just have thick flooring? I guess I could joint one face, lay it to the floor and then drum sand the entire floor...thinking out loud here...

I have a great deal of "true" 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 rough sawn oak lumber from which I'd like to make flooring for a backyard office. Most boards are warped, cupped and/or bowed to a degree. What saw could be used to best slice each board in half...in other words a 2 x 6 x 12' would become two 1 x 6 x...

Actually , I do have a boat that has Talons!

Where is a good place to purchase vise parts? Or would the part(s) have to be machined?

I'll put the Wilton Bullet in its place.

Thanks!!! I was just about to take this vise to the Antiques Road Show!

I need help identifying a vise I have that broke last year. The only visible marking that I have found is the BIG number 5 on the side of it. Also, is there a Vise Repair Person Extraordinaire on the forum? TIA

Can you point me to a website, Mike...and thanks.

Plug-in...non-solar...

Thanks Mike. Likely that only battery tenders would be plugged in to keep mowers' batteries charged.

I'd like to run (underground) power to a shed approximately 300' away. I would like 2-20A receptacles and an overhead light. Q1: What is the best way to accomplish this task? Q2: Is the use of Romex possible?
