Way way more than I need lol

I have been contemplating selling some tools as with you. More tools than I can use.

Miamicuse wrote:So let’s say you have different kits and now you have 3 chargers and 4 batteries. Some older some newer. I assume you do not keep track of which battery was originally paired with which tool.

I use a Milwaukee Inkzall and mark every battery and charger when they were purchased. If something dies, I turn it over to see how long I…[Read more]

Did you buy green lumber from the mill? Figured it would have already been dried for you.

I couldn’t agree more on that judgment. I hate mine so much it rarely gets used – like one every 2 years.

Nice project! It is fun to experiment with different techniques and looks. Congrats on a job well done.

I have the gen 2 18 gauge nailer and am hoping for a gen 2 16 gauge nailer, but I want to wait because the current model is a little heavy.

For your sake I am so glad the test was negative. Hope you feel better soon!

Look what showed up today! More than two weeks early from the projected ship date. I have not had time to play with it yet. It is so nice to not have to bother with a compressor and hose to use this 23 gauge pin nailer.

Awesome JDO. Congrats! Bet you have use for it immediately with all the remodeling you are doing.

Miter saw stand, cordless Jig saw, recip saw, L-Boxx 3D and sone I Boxx inserts for it.

You had a bunch of points to use. Good for you! Nice stuff for you. Congrats.

I saw they were out there but the Wen reviews were concerning. I know the tools look close to identical but with a 3 year warranty from Triton and better reviews, I hoped I was getting a better tool. One of the complaints on the cheaper models was…[Read more]

roninohio wrote:hose turned out really nice! Were they old awls or all brand new?

I found kits from Narex which provided the awl and the brass ferrule from a woodworking supply site I have used. The handles are up to you. Narex makes some great chisels. Quality at an affordable price.

Sorpa wrote:The stool came out very nice. How did you attach the legs under? Have any pics?

The legs have an l-shaped plate at the top with 4 holes to screw into whatever the top is. I had a circle template that is clear and figured what circle fit the legs best. Drill holes, fasten the bolts and then you have a stool.

Turned handles for a couple of awls this weekend. Had some spalted birch and kits from Narex to make them. Also finished a burl stool with hair pin legs. It is really a cool piece of wood.

redwood wrote:Wondering Lon if you have a benchtop oscillating spindle sander? I do and use it all the time. I can see some uses for a portable version, but probably not enough to warrant the extra expense and space it will take up.

Looking forward to hear how you use it and to see if you could convince me to get one.

Yes, I have a benchtop…[Read more]

I will admit to having a tool affliction or is it addiction? LOL

Anyway, I had seen this advertised in a number of catalogs/magazines I get. Thought it would have its uses and had some rewards to use. Plugged it in and it was very smooth going through the various speeds. Noise level like any other sander. No project to use it on currently so…[Read more]

Awesome to see the improved communication and explanations for folks from the Bosch folks. It is such a great step for all.

That addition is absolutely gorgeous! You should have your own TV show on…[Read more]

Boschmanbrian wrote:Not sure if the 1/2 sheet sanders are available Brian. I had points deducted for one but it didn’t show up Friday with my box. Will find out more soon, I hope.

Hopefully it still is , I’ve heard good things about it

It is a very nice sander. Definitely a 2 hand sander. Perfect for large surfaces.
