Added to my l-boxx collection with 2 l-boxx 2’s and 1 l-boxx-3 (purchased). The next thing now is an l-dolly.

Did some yard work, took the power washer to the small engine repair shop to get tuned, and went to a local farm/fleet supply store to pick up some items. Funny how you think you won’t need anything for awhile and how wrong that thinking is. LOL

Did some work on the first slab I am flattening. Once I got it down on how much material to remove per pass, things went well and fairly quick. Here is a picture of one of the full slabs before any cutting and flattening. The other 2 are the same piece that was worked on today. I took pictures of this side but I believe the reverse side is a…[Read more]

Yesterday was rain all day. Today it is still overcast and seems like it will rain again. Flooding for some folks around here. Cool temps.

Spent almost all of yesterday chain sawing a bunch of wood I had let sit for 3-4 years. Most of the pieces were burls. It is kind of like opening a present to see what is inside, sometimes a big surprise and sometimes a disappointment. I had some cherry sections we tore into and found them cracked throughout. My friend who is very up on wood…[Read more]

I built a router sled and table to flatten slabs. I got everything ready to roll this morning only to find that I needed a Router Collet Extension piece. Without it, the bit would not go deep enough to do the job. Just a FYI for anyone thinking of doing the same. Luckily I was going to go by a Rockler store and was able to pick one up. I can…[Read more]

I like that look Chad. Gives it a nice appeal with contrast.

Sprokitz wrote:What about kerf ? Touching off on the left side of the blade and zeroing out would leave the piece you need(on the right side of blade) short the kerf thickness

Great point that I missed. You would have to account for the kerf thickness in addition to the length needed.

That is really a great miter saw accessory. I’m in on that. I went to the website – no pricing details. Pre-order date is not until June 16th. The website is http://www.reekon.com.

Been building a router sled and table to flatten live edge slabs. I have a few slabs from a maple tree we had cutdown and let dry. The time for air drying has been long enough. Time to make them useful.

The floor is not perfect but it will do for about a year until we have the entire first floor refinished. Here is a before and after.

Nice work. Big difference in look in that entryway. Congrats on a job well done.

Another FL12 LED light. Knowing what it can do, what the does the big one do – light up the whole neighborhood? LOL Congrats Doobie.

Good for you! All nice items that we all would want.

Finally felt good enough to go to the basement workshop and unbox my new Delta Cruzer miter saw. Nice! Also redid some metal cabinets I had by putting casters on the bottom instead of metal disks.

Okay, I’m puzzled by the design. Why is there the flange like that instead of being a true cylinder. It would limit the depth of cut and would seem to be that purpose.…[Read more]

Great for everyone that this is back in operation. We will see what getting ordered when boxes start arriving. Thanks Bosch.

Nice work! Love the drawer and cut outs for the utensils. Thanks for the idea.
