Sorry to get off topic guys but do any of you know if Bosch is going to release an 18v router like the Colt? I love my 12v but man I’d love a clear base plunge like the colt with a battery…

My goals for the completion of 2019…
Finish the bookcases in our playroom…
Finish the darn wiring on the newest side of my shop…
Finish the cabinets I am working on….
Learn how to enjoy a cold beer in the peace and relaxation of my completed projects….👍

So nothing crazy but I am building a new coat rack storage unit….

Hey guys! I figured I’d check in 👍 Weather is starting to warm up here in NH but boy oh boy rain rain rain

Are you building the home and shop or designing the shop in an existing space? I am using two thirds of my basement for instance.

Dude, I’ve been getting swamped with these morons on the other site I mod, a couple of weeks ago I deleted nearly 20 new members, all fake accounts.

Well….my new jiggy came in today 👍
Gotta love CPO. I got the 7.2 supposed to be in a cardboard box, for a phenomenal $149.99. What did they ship me????

Seriously. I love CPO, I have been saving my points for quite a while and can not get the 7.2 on the site and a, still saving ever so slowly for the axial glide. CPO has once again after years…[Read more]

Lie Nielsen low angle block plane. Finishing some edges on the new bench top 👍

Same here. If I hear…”yeah but we need the rain”…from one more person I’m going to stuff my sock down their mouth. We got smashed last night with some really good thunder but it has been over a week and a half of heavy rains followed by cloud…[Read more]

I spent part of my afternoon yesterday trying to get some rust off of my Sawstop table. Yup, condensation from one of my copper pipes created a drop over a couple of weeks not in the shop and….
I tried Balistol and some steel wool, the iron is stained but the rust itself got knocked down. Not too happy about this, looks like I’ll be cleaning i…[Read more]

I just got a smoking deal on the JS572EB to replace my Carvex

Congrats on your new tool, enjoy.

Why thank you sir. Actually pretty stoked to use this. Everyone I have talked to about it seems to really like the saw and I am hoping it tracks well because I specifically want to use this with some timber work 👍

Found it!

Bosch part #2601016093

Dang, that took a while. Hopefully will have the saw Monday or Tuesday 👍.

Will do! I am going to my local Woodcraft tomorrow to get some finish for the bench, my nephew has assured me he has a decent weather resistant finish for the dash….we will see

Beautiful work Jim, finish is really sweet. I will have to watch the video.
