Overhauled Edger
















Should of taken more pictures of the overhaul process, next time I will. The valves were a bite to take out & put back in. Used screw drivers for one valve to put back in. The second one I bought a valve compressor & it was still hard. The throttle linkage gave me some trouble but I went to the web at Briggs & downloaded the parts manual for this motor & it helped. Runs like a charm, a liitle smoke now & then. New rings & valves would of been nice. The rings would of cost me $2.59 but the shipping was $10.00 so I left the old ones in. Hope this article might help someone with a similar task.

Battery Rack


Got this idea from a Handyman Magazine.
It is a neat way to keep your batteries in one place.
No mystery where your batteries are. I have it hanging
on my garage wall, next to my work bench.
Not that hard to make.
ENJOY !

A Copy of a Night Stand




























































































I started this project in November 2008 at a special project class at the Villages Woodworkers Club. I signed up because I was not getting to this project which I wanted to do for several years. Tried to buy one, but could not find it anywhere. Finally it's done. The only difference I made mine with cedar drawers. Glued some cedar slats on 1/4" Poplar plywood. Made a template for my router bushing, to route the front of the drawers. The oval knobs were a little tricky, used Poplar stock, cut ovals to size, secured them to a board. They were thicker then my knobs so the router bit bearing had a place to ride. After routing I secured them to a special jig to cut them to size. It all came out great & I'm happy with it. Now on to the next project.
