Went to a local mill today for some cherry for a new project. He called this pile 50 board feet; I think I got a deal.

Are you hooked on cherry now? It is so nice to work!

You’re right, it’s such a pleasure to work and the shop smells so good, too.

Some good trimming tips here. Instead of crown moulding, just run a piece of 1 x 2 strapping followed by window casing. Instead of mitered corners, caulking will do just fine and don’t forget the drywall sandwiched between the door frame and casing.

They’re looking really nice. What color are you staining the center pieces?

You need some of those Costco shop lights – they’re about $20 and can be plugged in to each other stung in a row so you can add them as you can purchase them.

That’s a great looking space. And you know, 41 ft is still pretty good, lol!

TOTD for me was definitely my idh182. it’s just such a fun tool!

Nice when you can say a tool is fun.

I don’t know if that’s just a me thing, or a Bosch thing, but I generally get a lot of enjoyment out of using most of my tools. I think part of that is just how grateful I am for them since I have been mostl…[Read more]

I’m so sorry @cb, that sounds a lot like your requests are falling through the cracks. I can imagine that’s really frustrating. I hope they get back to you soon and actually have the package shipped out too.

I bet they did, my girls would have loved that too!

Have you messaged them again? That seems long, even for the current state of things.

TOTD for me was definitely my idh182. Drilled a bunch of dog holes and then I used it to attach our bike rack to the car, and take it back off at the the end of the day. And it’s just such a fun tool!

@doobie is that the piece you zip tie to the saw, and then just connect to that when you use the saw?

@wbembrid game console and table look great.

I spent the morning drilling more holes in my work table.

Used my idh182 to drill more dog holes in my work table this morning and my blower with a vacuum to clean out the ones around the edges that don’t go all the way through.

Since when does USPS delivers packages on Sunday?

When it is amazon 2 day shipping.

I never had anything delivered on a Sunday, but somehow they decided to come a day early and delivered the package yesterday.

Can’t complain about getting things early, congrats!

@madman_us I’m going for the whole hog – I don’t just want the recip, I want another Core battery and a fast charger too, so I figured for another 50K that would be a much cheaper way to go about getting those too.
