Things like how to remove a stain, keep your garage organized, de-stink a pet, or whatever. Nowadays, the media is much more likely to sell you a product to do the same job. Today, small-run, hobbyist-published magazines still pass on learned wisdom, but that's declined in mainstream magazines.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05366397306209842657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-71490963200614512232008-04-15T10:09:00.000-04:002008-04-15T10:09:00.000-04:00You can also replace the bit with, say, a whisk, a...You can also replace the bit with, say, a whisk, and use your drill as a mixer/beater for batter, frosting, etc.Allen's Brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017088126061040113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-33861411472983599122008-04-15T04:19:00.000-04:002008-04-15T04:19:00.000-04:00Ashley: are you a subscriber to Variable Speed Dri...Ashley: are you a subscriber to Variable Speed Drill Monthly?Eoin O'Mahonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04826816590562387338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-14423300345350190812008-04-14T15:11:00.000-04:002008-04-14T15:11:00.000-04:00I don't know if they had variable speed drills in ...I don't know if they had variable speed drills in 1949, but if they did, you could use them for all sorts of things: driving screws, mixing paint, sanding, grinding, removing rust, running a hole saw, etc.<BR/><BR/>I guess that you could use a drill press as a substitute for a mill or a router (which cut from the side rather than axially), but you probably shouldn't.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05366397306209842657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-61482143668397024742008-04-14T13:14:00.000-04:002008-04-14T13:14:00.000-04:00Unless the ship's center of rotation is in the sam...Unless the ship's center of rotation is in the same line as the fulcrum of the helipad, it won't work -- a computer might be able to keep the helipad "level", but in the meantime it would be swinging about port and starboard, and bobbing up and down with the ship's bow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-69747812333522755122008-04-13T22:16:00.000-04:002008-04-13T22:16:00.000-04:00I'm more interested in the "25 uses for your elect...I'm more interested in the "25 uses for your electric drill."
