That's unfortunate. Worst sticking we had was once when my wife wiped the wood peels down with a damp towel without me knowing. The little residual moisture resulted in a mess in the oven. Only happened once, lol. I have two wood peels for loading pizza into the oven. As someone else...

Got to the point where it was time to rebuild my air nail guns, so I thought I'd look at battery powered to make some small jobs easier. I was fully on the Dewalt 20v platform, had been for decades. But when I looked at the DW cordless nail guns I found the DW guns to be unappealing. I went...

I'm in the northeast and I love old iron. At auction, those drill presses often go for less than $100. Yours looks in good shape, it's fairly clean, and retains its vintage look. I'm wary of old machines that have been repainted for resale. On FBMP you can get more than via auction, $150-$300...

Everything in your Post #6 sounds proper. I mortared up a stone wall back in 2022, it's about 120' long and about 3-1/2' high. I dug out a slope to level a part of my back yard, all the rocks in the wall were unearthed while digging. Thank you Connecticut! It's built on good draining subsoil...

It may be a version of a "hand cannon", sometimes described as a signal flare launcher. There's a touch hole on the side, near the shooting star, for igniting the powder. EDIT: I just noticed you're in France! Check this link: Antique

The part circled in red is to help the truss designer with layout, it's likely that it should have been deleted from the end drawing.

I'm way late to this party, but with no follow up maybe you haven't finished up? I'll throw another alternative, I did quite a few face frames using a biscuit joiner and Titebond to connect the pieces together where it made sense to do so. I found this set of photos from a run of cabinets above...

Going out on a limb here, but are you referring to this, below in red? If so, I'd refer to that as a "gap" between two boards. If that gap is what you're referring to, honestly, don't worry about it. Wood moves, and when joining a couple of 2x10s together with screws, a perfectly tight joint...

Would a basic crowfoot or perhaps a flare nut crowfoot or flare nut socket work? Sometimes they have different names. Can't quite make out how much effective access you have.

Flat stones, I'd not bother. I suppose there's a way, but I don't even want to think about it. Much easier to use a wheel on a bench grinder. Like by a factor of forever. There'e a muscle memory motion to sharpening drill bits, and once you understand the geometry you're trying to achieve...

Run a file across the edge and see if the file cuts or if it skates across. If it skates, it could be hardened steel.

Wisconsin, I'd want it on the exterior. I used to live near West Bend Wisconsin, on Big Cedar Lake. Loved it up there. But insulation on the interior is better than no insulation at all. Polyiso will be a vapor barrier, XPS will be a retarder. I'd go with XPS on the interior. If exterior XPS...

Domain seems to be registered in Lithuania. :unsure:

No, both Emmerts had been in service. One is complete and just needed some light cleaning, the other is missing a few minor pieces but functional. No broken castings on either.

Impressive! I was just in Athol. The two Emmert turtlebacks I picked up last week came from an auction at LS Starrett in Athol.
