    Rivet question on tin boat

    Aircraft Spruce carries any kind of rivet you could need. Not expensive, but you may end up with WAY more than you need. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/ "AD" material rivets will probably be your best bet; very common in aircraft. For a "button" head (protruding) rivet an MS20470AD4 (1/8"...

    can you sharpen a chisel with a table saw?

    I've never tried that approach, but it might be a viable option for restoring the edge/bevel to a very dull or damaged chisel. For the actual sharpening however, in my humble opinion you can't beat doing it by hand with the appropriate stones (and maybe a guide of this type)...

    What Saved Your A$$?

    Saving garage space - Putting bathroom under stairs

    You might consider putting the sink on the outside wall of the bathroom (not on the exterior of the building!), so it's accessible from the work area. I'm actually doing this in my build right now.

    What your Dad taught you,

    My dad taught me the proper way to use a hammer and a handsaw. He taught me how to stick with a job until it's done. And he showed me that Alzheimer's Disease is cruel.

    Wood garage floor

    I recently demolished a 12' X 20' shed for reasons not related to the floor, which was constructed much as you described. It was floored with 2 X 6s and 2 X 8s, and was one of the best floors I've ever worked on. It was about 60 years old, had a lot of character, and was easy on the feet. If you...
