Re: Jig for threading turned box and lid
When Woodsmith Shop used a similar jig (with a router rather than a Shopsmith) to make threaded-lid canisters, I recall that they warned that the lid threads (the "male" part) were a climb cut and urged caution. They cut the threads in three or four passes.

Re: Nail puller pliers that is new to me.
One way to use the tool to extract nails when they're sticking out the other side (e.g., when you've removed trim that you want to reuse and it still has nails in it) is to tap it in from the back until the head protrudes, cut the head off, then pull it out the back.

Re: Nail puller pliers that is new to me.
I have an old one of the kind labeled "Gunpla" in Ed's picture. It is very handy, it doesn't damage the wood much and you can extract longer nails by taking a second or third grip on them. You do have to be careful not to squeeze too hard on little brads, but that's easy to get used to. My...

Re: 510 to 520 conversion parts wanted
Have you looked at 510 and 520 prices on CL? Your least expensive solution may be to sell the 510 and buy a 520 if you can find the right prices.

Re: Just a beautiful picture
It's always nice to see the signs that spring is on the way. Here in NJ, we have winter aconite, snowdrops, witch hazel and a few crocuses blooming, but none of our trees have started yet. In fact, we just got a couple of inches of wet snow last night - the first measurable snow this winter.

Re: Repairing Quill Spring

Re: 2022 Federal Income Tax
I filed mine by mail so I should see my small refund by August, but due to the incompetence of the IRS, they have to pay me interest on my refund. IMAGINE, the government paying me interest. Yeah, and then the interest is considered taxable income next year! The IRS giveth and the IRS taketh away.
