Did a little more sorting out and organizing the new shop. A few more empty boxes and a few more things in place. I need more storage cabinets! (or less “stuff” lol)

A bit of much needed rain early today but that has moved off and we have sunshine again.

Is it true?

You’re right. I think it varies with different manufacturers but the majors will offer full warranties.

I only had one experience; with a Dewalt 734 planer many years ago. I had no problems at all during the life of that tool. To be honest, I think it was a return in an opened package and not one that had been repaired.
There would be no way of knowing whether you are getting a repair or a new/returned tool.

Good to see you back, Kyle. Are you back in Edmonton or still on the project in Ft Mac?

Good choice, Jim. I haven’t used the plunge base yet with mine but the fixed base MR23 is just a pleasure to handle. You’re gonna love it!

That should be a game changer for you. Good luck with making it happen.

Just beautiful weather up here. No humidity to speak of and temps in the mid 20’s. We had considered adding A/C when we bought the house but we are beginning to think it won’t be necessary. Nights are cool enough the house never gets uncomfortable.

That’s big on my want list, too. Looking forward to hearing your views on it.

I’ll sleep better when I can weld outside, but in a pinch the setup is working for now. The big shiny new fire extinguisher just inside the shop door helps also.

That’s a worthwhile goal to have met, for sure. A woodstove in the shop h…[Read more]

PS22 and PS32 were the stars today mounting tool cabinets.

I had the 1250DEVS in use as well and discovered something useful. I don’t have my DC set up yet so I brought out the Rigid vac instead. The accessory vac hose for the Bosch sander plugs right into the Rigid vac in place of the Rigid hose. I know I will get a lot more use out of the…[Read more]

We wanted a wall of family pictures so decided to frame a section of wall with trim to contain all the family pics in one big pic. It will be a work in progress as the family expands and grows.
