Over the weekend I finally put the canoe up on the hoist so I have a little more room in the unheated section of the garage.

I did something stupid the other day, I had a zero clearance poplar insert in the table saw and I started tilting the blade to 45 deg to make a French cleat, the good thing is the poplar snapped without damaging the blade, so I will try and glue the insert up.

I also purchased, for my self, a set of workbench castors for my cutting table, even though it is not that heavy, I really like the ability to have it stable or mobile at my choice of times. I bought these ones online and I am very happy with both the price and how they work! I can’t find the picture – if I get ambitious I will up load one later.

The new battery for my favorite electric screwdriver arrived today, the Hitachi is getting old, and the company sold/merged with Metabo but still awesome.

I am again playing with dust collection, trying the Stumpy Nubs, donut and bucket system, seems to make a significant difference, the big filter and only using my Thien baffle on my thickness planer.

As much of a toolaholic I am, I ordered new batteries for my venerable Hitachi DB 3DL electric screw driver instead of buying new – I really like this tool. I ordered an after market battery as well as a new Metabo/Hitachi replacement – we’ll see how they both work.

This happened the other weekend, but I am only writing it up now. I was working on the table saw turned on the dust collector and went to work cutting some tenons with a dado stack, there is always some dust and small chips when doing this so when there were some I didn’t pay attention. After a while they increased significantly, but I finished…[Read more]

Apparently the Hockey stand needed hockey sock hanging clips, so I modified an old pant/skirt hanger to have it donate the required clips …

I went to change to my winter tires on the new car and my jack was too tall so I bought a low profile floor stand from Princess Auto, even if I did not wait for a sale – free shipping and COVID19.. oh well.
