Did I miss it, what free tool did your code reveal?

That’s a great router, congrats.

27 deg. and first snow of the year, over the last couple of days. 18″ so far.

I wasn’t planning on getting a pellet grill. My neighbor has a Traeger and swore by it. I’ve been getting stuff at these auctions of Home Depot and Lowes stuff this year and have gotten some very good…[Read more]

I’ve never posted on this thread and I’m not ready to share any recipes but I did want to mention a recent purchase that I love.

I got a pellet BBQ through a auction and I love it. It’s a whole new way of BBQing for me. Slow and controlled.

I’ve never seen any Chinese spammers here. Am I missing anything?

I kind of know how it works though. My Amazon account was hacked by Russian folks. In this case their mission was to bombard Amazon with positive reviews of certain products. Each time I got a notification from Amazon thanking me for my review. Literally they posted hundreds…[Read more]

So how much larger, physically, are the new XGT batteries?

I’ve got a number of 56V EGO tools and their batteries are huge compared to a XL battery. They are just too big to ever be used in most tools like drills, reciprocating saws ect or ergonomics go out the window.

I personally didn’t see that as being a attack on any one person, or even a attack at all. I thought it was a great slogan for all to try to strive for.

I loved it Miami and it is relevant. On the flip side, I love getting that North Carolina weather forecast every morning.

I guess I was a Pro at one time, not really any longer. I bought tools both ways, immediate need, I would purchase wherever I could get it the quickest. If I had time, I would research and get the best price. Thinking about it, I’m still that way.

What a great metaphor, and so true.

Somewhere on this site, I have a review of the Skilsaw I received from BTP a few years ago.

Resting your lumber on your foot is one of the staples of using a wormdrive. You can do that because the handle is behind the motor vs. on top of it and you can see your line very easily. They weigh more then a sidewinder, which adds to the stability of…[Read more]

I second that and have always felt that they shouldn’t be here.

And is there anything you see about the Bosch you don’t like?

I can’t remember if I’ve actually ever seen a Bosch wormdrive in person. Since I think it came out during the time that Bosch owned Skil, I would assume that it is very similar.

I’ve owned many Skil’s and never wore o…[Read more]

Congrats Charlie,
I’m the opposite of most here. I’ve always owned a worm drive saw for the last 45 years. I still own 3. Never a Bosch though.

If you are serious about this and not just putting up a front, contact the other moderators and form a plan of action or inaction.

Good luck with that, though I commend you with coming up with this, I think trying to disarm the “golden goose” posts at this stage is futile.

This has been discussed many times over the life of BTP and not much changes.

Nice Tom, great router.

Finishing is definitely not my strong suit, so it got poly rub on finish.

At some point, there will be more. Not sure when though.

Pretty much exclusively domino’s and glue.

I can’t remember if I posted the finished chair, I made. If not, here it is.
