Google changed since I was at college and I can't find anything anymore. Thanks. Yeah, it would need to be heavy duty but I am also thinking of storm/bad weather over blind/shutter that can be pulled over/down the blade section. A scaled up and horizontal version of the video below.

I'm looking for the mechanism/hardware for a Louvre Roof System. I want one that retracts but also rotates each blind "blade". For now, just getting a look at market mechanisms... just to see how the work properly. I have an idea but always better to build off established knowledge. If one...

Can folks tell me the difference in performance between a full length cyclone separators... ... and the short, bucket mounted cyclone separators?

I am looking for a sharpening jig that will allow me to sharpen my chisel and plane blades regardless of its's length. ie... What jig clamps the chisel the lowest down? Normally once a chisel get down to a certain shortness, most jigs can't clamp it with putting a steep angle on it. It would...

Excellent, couldn't be better. Excellent, couldn't be better. What about other parts, like springs and cogs? Where best to get them from?

Hi, I am wondering what's the best router table lift out there? I have been looking at this one... UJK Router Elevator Are there any types without the chains as I have read that they get clogged? Does anyone have experience of router lifts with this why of operating... ie... the chain. Is...
