There's a large threshold plate at the entrance of a room that has a large gap where it meets the floor. Looks like it's had some shoddy work in the past. Any suggestions, esp. quick and dirty ones.

A bad floor laying and finishing job later compounded by someone spraying DEET which chemically dissolved the finish in spots (I never fail to be impressed by DEET's destructive power on all sorts of objects). Any suggestions to do a spot repair to the damaged area?

I have an older 12" Craftsman table saw and I can't seem to get the blade exactly at 90°. When I turn the crank it stops just before 0. Any help would be great or a copy of the manual, I can't seem to find one anywhere. Thank you.

I often use a brown paper bag and hand rub my projects after 7 or 8 diluted oil based poly top coats to get the final smoothness that I want. Recently I did a test with 1,000 grit sandpaper and it felt good. I am wondering if anyone else does this. Or if anyone has ever tried using 2,500 grit...

Taytools.com has one on sale right now..400 grit for $27.. That's about 1/2 the price you usually see..maybe less.. Hurry up if you want one..
