Post: RE: Ever make a cribbage board?
I made one a few years ago…printed template, spray-glued. I think I used a drill press to ensure the holes were straight, but there are a couple of simple drill guides you can make from scrap wood to ...

Post: RE: Sprinkler System Vacuum Breakers
I’ve only had a sprinkler system on one house (the current one), but I’ve never seen anything about removing the vacuum breaker when winterizing. I’ve got a drain plug below it and an air fitting near...

Post: RE: Fix a ladder, then build a copy of it
Nice. On the ladder repair, what was your thought process to repair the broken leg rather than replace the whole leg? Even though a glue joint is supposed to be stronger than the wood, it seems lik...

Post: RE: Buck saw
Those bucksaws only had a handle on one side IME, so probably not saved as a pattern. It doesn’t look like it would be very useful as a sharpening aid, since the bolts are on opposite corners, M...

Post: RE: Pot lid knob finish

Post: Pot lid knob finish
My daughter’s canning pot lid lost its handle, so I turned one out of red oak for her. Just wondering if there’s a preferred finish for an application like this. Thanks!
