- Its categories range from half-nut troubleshooting to local cash classifieds, with example threads dated from 2019 through 2026.
Field notes
The board is divided into eight sections, with thread and post counts and recent activity visible on the homepage. Example discussions include a 16-tpi threading problem, a compound swivel that is stiff and then loose, and a Lewiston boring-bar listing marked “cash today.” The signup note says accounts use a nickname, email, and password, with no confirmation email.
