Is this Unisaw much smaller then previous Unisaw?
I knew you bought the Craftsman as it was better size TS for your smaller workshop.

The only reason I can think of using all the straps like that is maybe they are holding his bumper on.

Any truck I have owned there are only a couple of places to fasten a rope or strap too. The stake pockets on top of the box. There is anchor poi…[Read more]

Another good video Jim! I really like using ship lap for the doors. They turned out really nice.

For my daughter’s hockey games they divide the ice in half. Today was the first time I have seen them use this type of board system. It looks like a really good system.

Rain most of the day and then changed to wet snow late afternoon. Wasn’t a nice drive home from the daughter’s hockey.
Hard to believe it was -20C in November and it only 4C today.

Good point! Let’s not make it thankless job. I am sure it will be fixed soon.

People use ice augers to drill a hole thru the ice. Most common ice augers are manual and gas powered augers. I believe the augers are 6 to 8 inches size.

Congrats on the mobile bases. I really need to look at getting some of those for my jointer and bandsaw.

It was nice outside today so decided I would replace my tail lights on my utility trailer. I went with Led tail lights.

I thought about buying a router bit extender for a certain project I was planning on doing. I didn’t end up doing that project. So I didn’t end up buying the bit extender. I look forward hearing how well you liked using it.

I tried the same tested and it also failed. Looks the problem has yet to be fixed.

I didn’t know that some impacts were made having a self tapping screw mode. Sounds like a great feature. I will have to check this out.
How did you like this feature?
