We have some people coming to look at our house today (part of a tour for a program were a part of) so I took down the blanket we’ve been using as a utility room opening cover and put up a temporary barn door. The plywood is just a stand in for the slabs I’ll be getting back to eventually but it’s a huge improvement already in look and funct…[Read more]

I have only used them once so far but it seemed to go really well. I haven’t ever used any high end sanding discs though, so I don’t know if just about anything might be a step up, lol. The main thing I noticed was that there weren’t any swirls in the surface and that’s a big difference in my mind.

@boschmanbrian I only saw 5” options at my har…[Read more]

I got to spend a couple hours out in the shop this morning and so I put a small roundover on some pieces I’m working on with my mr23, then started on more pegboard wall for that same restaurant. I broke the sheet down with my cordless saw and then started drilling holes with my hdh181.

It seems the lesson from the US giveaway is that if you submit ANYTHING that’s within the parameters you’re almost guaranteed to win…and even if you don’t need another idh182, a fast charger and Core battery is sure nice!

No, my kids are grown up and no grandkids yet. They are going to a local charity.

That’s really great. I bet that will really make some kids’ Christmas’.

Yes it is. My wife got one recently and seems to really like it so I decided to graduate. Lots to learn.

Well, welcome to the club, lol. I’ve really enjoyed the ones I’ve had. Sucks to have a payment pla…[Read more]

I picked up some of the new Diablo sanding mesh pads. I was really impressed too. I’ve only used one, brand new piece so far, but it left such a nice finish at just 120.

On the other thread – rewards redemptions – they talked about that. Apparently now you message Brittany Buchanan.

My confusion is as to why has not anyone from Bosch tried to clear the air, especially if they know there are issues with their system.

The thing that helped the most today was my mr23 router with a slotting bit. I didnt realize I needed a backing for this frame, so this was the easiest way to add a rabbet with the frame already constructed.

I have done this way a few times. Then I use a chisel to square up the corners.

I just went back and read some of the previous posts – I completely missed the fact that Brittany’s email is now the Points email. That’s good to know!

Congrats Charlie, looks like a nice level, let us know what you think about this , never heard of the previous brand you were using POS ?

Bosch Freak display at Lowe’s yesterday – but this freak seems to be the homeowner version of the real thing, with just a slim pack too…I’ve never seen Bosch go in this direction and I’m not sure what to think about it. Also, this little gem – I can’t imagine it’s the same level of quality the brand typically stands for…

More workthis morning on the commissions, then I went and picked up a bunch of supplies for various projects, for back to the church and formed, sanded, and glued up the half door, then cut the rabbet and backing for the poster frame I’m working on.
