wdwerker Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Cyber Toaster Museum has pictures similar to your toaster. Mid 1920's it seems. That's the right time frame isn't it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Mom and dad started the company in 1945 and both went thru the depression. I suspect mom replaced this with a more modern one but, kept this in case the newer model went bad. I'll use this one to warm my shop this winter after adding a ground wire to it?. I suspect it can also be used to warm taco shells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I hate when I make mistakes, but I hate even more when mistakes happen that were not really my fault. So when the tape slides up the drill bit and you don't realize it and punch through your counter with a 3/8" hole. The counter that was just completed and finished. Now I have to pour epoxy in and sorta refinish the area. Also I may have drilled into the dining room table. Not sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassAct Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 There may not be equivalents between IQ and performance, but there are general correlations in other areas. For example, driving a Prius means you aren't able to find the accelerator pedal. Driving a Volvo means you don't know how to use a turn signal.* *These factors are locale-dependent. Seattle has a high percentage of said vehicles. Your locality may vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can highly recommend using tapered plug cutters to make a repair. It's even better with a size like 3/8 since then the hole is the right size. You do seem to have had a lot of misfortune on this project though. Good luck on the dining room table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I can't risk drilling through I use two precautions: 1) I have those collars that tighten onto the drill bit with an allen screw and 2) this sounds dangerous but it is not, unless you are drunk. I place my finger on the underside of the work piece where the drill would blow through. You will start to feel the bit telegraph before it actually blows through. Also use a variable speed drill at a low speed. Also if you measure in metric you are less likely to drill through . JK about the metric part The tape trick is cute in shop class and on yourube 101 videos but, as you found out, not reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Yeah the tape thing never worked for me either. I have the stop collars as well. But another thing that worked for me is pink nail polish, it contrasts against most woods. I have also been told it brings out the colors in my eyes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted July 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 You can also drill a bunch of holes in a piece of plywood cut them out, and stack them up to make a spacer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a set of those collars too, but they are mega cheap ones I bought my first week doing this. They are almost impossible to lock down. I have been planning on getting some good ones from LV.

I have a set of grizzly tapered plug cutters, I will have to check if that includes 3/8. I was just going to fill it with black epoxy and figure it would just look like another knot, but maybe plugs would be better. There was tearout though so that also has to be repaired.

wdwerker Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Take a look at a few knots first then cut a few fake grain lines around the hole and blow-out. When you fill it with the black epoxy what you don't want to see is a perfectly round hole. When the eye sees the proper visual clues the brain concludes "knot ". To really sell it I have used multiple colors of filler. Fill with one color, dry, sand flat then cut more fake grain lines that would continue the grain around the hole and fill those with a lighter(or darker) color. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
