    I'm a woodworker and never use gorilla glue any more. It is fantastic for attaching dissimilar materials to each other. BUT, in a recent test in a major woodworking magazine it was shown to be poor for wood. Tite bond II or III are the way to go. Excellent glues. Finnr

    WeeeeeeeeeeeeLL it is an old friend. Since I can remember we have always had it in the shop and used it for a million and one things. Sometimes new and improved, just isn't. Finnr

    You can get it t Wal Mart in the automotive section. Red plastic bottle. It's sold mainly as a fuel additive for some odd reason. Finnr

    I'm on daily aspirin so I have band aids in any place I think I might get gored by a project. They have come in hand several times. Finnr

    Since I don't work to super close tolerances a vernier is exactly right for me. If I do get into machine work though I guess I'll have to change my sloppy ways. LOL! Finnr

    Getting the spring isn't all that hard . The tough part is getting it re hardened and re tempered. That is best left to a spring shop. When i was checking into it I found that buying a new spring would be cheaper than having an old one reworked. If I buils a spring helve hammer I'll just leave the curve in the spring. Finnr

    There is a thread on using old motor oil. In general it's nasty stuff. Spring for a gallon of veggie oil at Sams or a restaurant supply. Finnr

    Blowers

    Finnr replied to Clay's topic in Bellows, Blowers

    there are several blue prints on blowers. My first was the blower from a dead gas water heater. A bit of creative scrounging and you should easily find something that will work. Finnr

    Don't have a wedding ring. I do love rings however and NEVER wear one in the shop. I'm too fond of my fingers! Finnr

    I use three parts beeswax, two parts boiled linseed oil and two parts turps. Warm it slowly over an electric burner in a double boiler. I either paint it on black hot metal and then cook it a bit in the forge or apply a very thin coating with a rag. It is also a good wood finish. Finnr
