I had to upgrade mine recently because I purchased a 8AH battery and it just didn’t want to charge on my older charger, though I was told that it would.

Yes, that can be a issue. All my CNC work uses 2x and 1x material. This tool doesn’t lend itself with that. I’m still having to wrap my head around how and when to dry the wood and the time it takes.

For my birthday, my son’s got me a new toy (I hinted). It is a Arbortech Power Carving kit. I went berserk and got some additional attachments. It’s really cool what it can, according to the youtube videow.

I’ve fiddled around a bit, but I have lot’s of ideas, but maybe not the skill yet.

There are shortages of ton’s of stuff, not just truck parts. My ex-wife was involved in a 2+ year planning process of replacing the sewer line that goes through her backyard. It was finally supposed to start last month, but has been delayed indefinitely by the unavailability of the sewage pipe, due to the freeze in Texas closing down the industry.

Multi ladders do have their place. If you can only have one type of ladder, it’s probably OK because of it’s versatility. If you have limited space to store your ladder, it’s nice because it folds up to a compact size.

That said, a single purpose ladder is easier to carry, to set up and use for it’s intended purpose. Single purpose ladders are…[Read more]

I bought a multi task ladder yesterday from CDN Tire. I will pick it up today or tomorrow.

I went and picked up my new muilt task ladder yesterday.

I’ve had a few multiladders, but I was never a huge fan because they were so heavy, compared to their single use counterparts. Maybe that has changed.

Watch out for ceiling fixtures. Portable scaffolding is great for certain tasks.

Another day, another box.

Thanks again Bosch and BTP. This is the one I’ve been waiting for.

What router are you putting in it Jim?

I like that sander, I think I got it from BTP long ago.

I was looking at this for table edges on some slab tops I have been working on. I doubt it is going to get a ton of use but there will be some situations it is going to be a nice sander to have around when bringing the work to the benchtop sander does not work.

Did you consider the WEN branded identical sander…

If Bosch were really truly committed to this rewards process, all of the issues we experience would really be fairly easy for them to figure out.

PI_Woodworker wrote: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…

Miamicuse wrote:What is the best way for vertical storage of hand tools? Is it a bag with pockets like the one Jim ordered or a bucket buddy?

Depends on what you are putting in them. Trowels, levels and things like that are better in a bucket. Most other are good in a bag. I can’t stress enough how much easier bags are with wheels, if they…[Read more]

I can understand the cost factor. I bought mine with 9000 mi., as a demo truck driven by the GM at the dealership. It was equipped with more stuff then I would have gotten, but I’ve come to appreciated some of those. Much cheaper then if I ordered a truck to my specs. It still cost a lot and that was 8 years ago. I don’t want to even think…[Read more]
