Very nice !!

The next guy that opens the box will likely find a fried mouse that was looking for the pleasant scent.

Absolutely! It's officially a "thing". At least somewhere in the megaverse.

Vertically, just like clocking the screws on receptacle covers. So they don't collect saw dust, which would be a major problem if they're horizontal.

The tape keeps vibration from loosening the wire nuts. If not for the tape, the nuts would have to lock wired. :rolleyes:

As others have said, probably better then I can, if you truly believe that the stairs will have enough vibration to loosen the nuts over the lifetime of the stairway, then by all means get some lockwire pliers and practice with them and lockwire everything.

2x6 joists with a seven foot span, 16 inches on center sounds like it should be stiff enough, but if it feels "bouncy" then clearly it's not that stiff. It's probably not going to collapse and it's likely that sistering 2x8's onto the existing joists wouldn't gain enough stiffness to be worth...

OK, you add to the efficiency of the heat supply for upstairs. This makes the basement colder. This increases the delta T across the floor into the basement. How much heat loss is there from the basement to the outside? I've chosen not to insulate the basement ductwork because that's where I...

My recollection is that they were made for paint spraying. This might mean that it doesn't develop a really high pressure. That said, I don't really know what pressure it will pump up to.

I can't speak to the model number, others who have posted above have more expertise. In 1952 my father bought a Merry Tiller with a Briggs engine that's very similar. Cylindrical fuel tank and a wrap-the-rope starter.

Kill the power to the entire house. Clip the meter seal and remove it. Move to another state where "one answer" puzzles on the internet are not allowed.

Another vote for the Miller 211. The dual voltage, swap the power plug, feature is handy.

Is this for teeth in your mouth . . . maybe not? Something on a tractor bucket? Some kind of device that goes into the hole on a split rail fence post and pulls it out? Incisor, molar, bicuspid? A wood post incisor puts small cuts in the southern yellow pine before pressure treatment to ensure...

The brushes I've used get worn pretty quickly and also shed wires. I hadn't thought about super glue. Good tip.

If you use it to clean resin and pitch from circular saw blades, remember what brand it is before spraying. All of the lettering and anything printed on the blade will be gone when it's rinsed off. I had a very clean, absolutely blank plate when finished.

Same answer as posted on OWWM yesterday. It was for an optional, three position table stop.

Wow. Like Zen wrote, I'm trying to envision how cold it has to be for the petroleum in WD-40 to freeze. Or is the propellant losing pressure when it's that cold?

Interesting!! Thanks for posting that ^^^. I've seen and worked with a lot of Sears/Craftsman machines from that period, both King Seeley and Emerson, and hadn't encountered that combination.

When the chuck is tightened, do the jaws close? Or are the jaws fixed at 23/64 inch?

That's an interesting combination of machines. The 103.21820 model number refers to the jointer. I may not be reading the number correctly, 103.8770 doesn't come up in a search. I'll give the guy a thumbs up for ingenuity. That's one way to run several machines from one motor.
