I have the Jet 1836. It does everything i need it to do. I have done a lot of table tops over the 18″ dimension with good success. We have done…[Read more]

nice looking truck Jon, you will enjoy it. does it have the eco boost, the guys that have that really like it, great mileage also

checked our a couple jobs and got locates called in for them. had the guys finish up siding and caulking on one house and do a couple of small projects. We will start framing our slab on grade home tomorrow.

Those are some amazing floors.

I found the one below interesting. I believe the plane in the photo was built right here in Owatonna almost 20 years ago. A local businessman was friends with Sam Johnson and had a plane restoration company. He built 2 of them one for Sam and one for himself. His has changed hands several times but was seen…[Read more]

I will probably try the blades after reading the review. When i first saw them i thought they were a gimmick. I have seen the Lennox at lowes on sale for a fair bit less than noted in the review.

I get regular calls form Home Advisor trying to sign me up. I tried it a long time ago, it was not worth it. I turn them down every time and they keep calling.

cleaned up a bunch of windows we removed to scrap the aluminum. Pretty hot an humid today, I took it easy this afternoon.

It will be interesting to hear how they do it. No matter what, unless they are able to get everything cut to fairly close tolerances, I would run the blanks through a timesaver to clean them up and dimension them.

I saw a floor ar a meeting haul that was made of 4 x 6 on end. it was an old horse barn but a beautiful floor, one made of 20″ butt…[Read more]

Some paperwork today then rest, my lower back is killing me lately and hope to get it back in shape by taking it easy.

I get calls every day trying to sell SEO. we still come out near the top of searches without them. I think they want a lot for what they offer. A good reputation and referrals go a long way. being active in the chamber of commerce and other organizations is money better spent IMO

fall seems to be approaching to fast. The county fair is this week signaling two weeks left of summer. back to school for the kids then. lots to get dom=ne by the end of the year.

that looks like a great kit. A cordless router would be a handy item. Interested to hear your thoughts on it.

Here is a review I just found on the metal cutting diamond blades. Diablo did not fare very well in the review.

Diamond Edge Cutting Wheels Head to Head

Placed my order this week. I was less than a thousand points from HAM. Now I have a 100 k to get back there. Next time I think will be a dust extractor. I think I am needing another one to supplement my little Festool mini

I would love a project like this, I would enjoy building something to make the cuts. I really like building things to solve problems like this

paperwork, Had the guys siding on a house today. It looks like it will be a working weekend.

Looks like Delta is coming out with a new miter saw. The Cruzer.

Looks pretty Sci fi, almost robo cop lol
Pretty cool just the same, looking forward to hearing what they say about it

Delta is not what they used to be as far as I’ve read in the past decade. At least not on their smaller end s…

good to have you back. Things have not changed a lot, except most of the names are different, still some old guys hanging on however.

you could also set up a band saw mill vertically and have the beam stationary and slide the band saw past the beam cutting off a tile with each pass.

Didn’t know such a small large saw existed for such cuts. But how exact is that enough for this application?

this one has 30″ between the g…[Read more]
