This is a great idea for repurposing a dresser mirror. Ron designed a bench using a large dresser mirror for the back. The upholstered seat is hinged for access to the storage underneath. Each bench will look as different as each mirror will be different. It is easy to have your own original bench.

A wall niche is kind of cubby hole carved into a stud wall, usually to house display shelving. These days, they are often seen as prefashioned inserts with an arch shape and Greco-Roman styling in higher-end housing, often with classical statuary within the niche sides. The niche shown here is a rather different animal. It is simply a wooden box that you slip into a hole in the wall and then trim out.

I have a LST1018, can I use one of your other 18v batteries?

It runs backward But not forward. Won't shred

Very short use before depleting, long time to charge. I have two batteries one year old that will not charge at all anymore. I have two $38 doorstops. Reading Google reviews I see I am not alone in my dislike of your batteries. What can I do to replenish or replace these things. I've always loved your tools, but if this battery is what represents B and D, I'm off to visit DeWalt and Mikita.

I just purchased a Black and Decker Flex vacuum model FHV1200. What is the difference from an FHV 1080? Also, what is the part number for the replacement battery for my FHV1200?

I have an older model Dustbuster #9334 and am considering whether to replace it. It is 6.0 volts. No other specifications are given. How do I compare its suction power (volts? amps? watts?) to current models?

The locking pin on my Navigator Saw (Catalog # SC500)is perpendicular to the bottom of the saw. I need to turn it so that it is parallel to the bottom of the saw so that I can attach a saw blade. No wrench works in such a tight space.

How can I tell when my Flex Vacuumbattery is fully charged? The blue light seems to stay on as long as it is plugged into the ac adapter.
