Cleaning the Chain & Old Worn Dura-Ace Cassette - Part 3 -- Another three gears and some special teeth...
On this 15 tooth gear, three of the teeth are different from the other 12 teeth.
These three teeth shape is different and there's a special shape to the width of the teeth also (the bottom tooth in the red box is narrower towards the lower portion of the tooth).
I'm not sure how it works but I think this is the special design that Shimano uses to make shifting gears smoother and more efficient/reliable...
This spacer is needed between some of the gear (not all)...
Between the 15 and 16 tooth gears is one of the places...
These two gears have two places on them with the three special teeth, 180 degrees opposite each other.
Placed the gears in order on the holder.
Spacer, then the next gear...
What I've cleaned so far.
A few more to go...

Dining table bench - part 20 -- Legs - Assembly using biscuits
Decided to use biscuits to join the pieces without using screws
Will use "0" size biscuits
Normally, cutting the slots for the biscuits would be very easy.
But, because of the 5 degree angle on all the pieces, it won't be straightforward.
Need to cut the slots at an angle from the edge...
Bottom piece.
Using two biscuits per joint.
The reference will the the distance from the edge of the piece to the edge of the biscuit cutter.
Working on the table saw.
There's other flat surfaces but they're mostly occupied with stuff...
Garage -- Moving in an Area Carpet -- Part 1
I'm moving an area carpet that used to be in the living room in the house, into the garage to have it live it's second life (no longer wanted in the house).
In this picture, I've already moved the bikes outside and cleared the stuff around the area and on top of the flat files that live in the middle of the garage.
The rug in the front of this picture used to live in the house also, until it got replaced with the rug now being moved into the garage.
I'll temporarily move the flat file close to the front of the garage to just have it get out of the way of where the new rug will go...
I pushed the flat files to here, where it's no longer in the area where the rug will go.
The flat files are on custom made metal base with wheels.
The red supporting column is in the way also.
Will remove it temporarily then put it back after the rug is situated in place.
This is after the column support has been removed temporarily.
Now it's pretty much ready for the rug.
