Bike stuff was on massive savings, up to 50% off for high-end mountain bikes. Really killed the used market though.

Thats essentially what I did when I made the cherry credenza. It worked well enough. Although, Derek's big board may be copied, once I'm done with...

I wouldn't have an issue with that. (makes reading felders technical doc easier, but talking to their support harder)

eh, I grew up with metric and use 'imperial' without issue. From an engineering perspective, the biggest problem is when people insist on trying to...

It's significantly tighter tolerances than the Hammer planer/thicknesser I just purchased.

Yea, cheap tools bad (banned word removed). So do good tools when you use them wrong. I really try to not pull nails with a hammer that are fully...

Edge guide, or template. Then again, I don't have a router mount for any rails, so that's just right out from the start.

Mine (a3 31) arrived Monday, took about a month from payment to delivery. I saw a few comments like that before ordering, then again, I also work...

Now that you mentioned it...

on a chisel? nope. my great-uncle was effectively doing that on his plane irons in the 1930s btw.

See, I am certainly one who refers to the flat / reference side as the "back". As in "flattening the back of a chisel".

The Wayback Machine has proven that the internet is forever.

On the face? I absolutely do, especially on say a2 steel. It's no different than a hollow grind. On the back? No.

Measured quarter/quarter. Maybe year/year, at most. Longer than that and no one has any patience for it.

Like Sears sales then.

Wow, that was quick! Very nice!

Chickens also bear little resemblance to their former selves.

It's not just younger people. Full grown, older than me, adults have baked heavily and then complained that I would charge them more than they would...

It wasn't an over-reaction. It was a comment. I have a degree in that subject and have worked professionally in the field. It's a common enough...

It's a rivnut.

Shows a huge lack of understanding of the subject.

Bench. All other things are secondary.

Next top I'll be doing the 3mm holes for every 96mm intersection, but only doing the 20mm holes in a couple select areas. I figure that way, it's...

There's only one market for imperial measurements really. I'd fully expect them to be metric.

saved a whole lot of frustration using one of these on my bench top glue up, especially since I intentionally over glued. I'd rather do that than...

I do slots in all the tenons, save the center. The center is drawbored and I leave the breadboard end long but a bit, since it will unlikey ever be...

Making money at any creative endeavor, let alone making a living, is a tough hustle. At least outside of purely commercial pursuits. Aas an example,...

I could use the oneway. Pm incoming.

Oh I have apps to do it, and can easily do it on my laptop. But so much for "you're not always going to have a calculator with you".

and now the only thing I can't do on the built in calc on my phone is math in binary, octal or hex.
