I’ll have to keep them in mind next time I want to give something expensive. I’m fully stocked in cast iron thanks to various ancestors. I was in the area about a year ago and would have stopped by...
Some years ago, I saw a short article in FWW where a guy needed to cut some big bent laminations. Rather han try to pilot the wood through the bandsaw, he built a base for the bandsaw that turned...
I worry too much. The hand saw didn’t cause a problem so I tried the chop saw with an 80 tooth blade. It cut like butter.
I have to cut three rolls of 9’ wide house wrap into two 4.5” rolls. This is the HD Everbuilt woven type. If it was the Tyvek non woven, I might have t4ied the chop saw but I’m afraid that the woven...
the shortage has been a long time coming and was entirely predictable. I remember the owner of pulte homes interviewed at least twenty years ago and he said, “My job is to figure out how to build...
My brother gave me a 1948 vintage Walker Turner saw. It has a 24” throat and the blade motion is straight up and down. The bad news is that someone busted the cast iron bed and replaced it with 1/4”...
Assume that you will be locked into a contract?
quick shoutout to Fairphone. It’s a verypairable phone. You can swap the battery in seconds. To swap out ther parts, takes a screwdriver. IFixit...
Jim,
an excellent example of CNC hogging away the majority and then finishing with hand tools is KC Strings. It’s a partnership of a production cabinet maker and a classically trained luthier. The...
I would like to see a way to retrofit a lamp with an led power supply that would be of high quality. Then the led light unit, also of high quality, would plug into a standardized socket.
Unlike most other table saws, the Sawstop trunion moves straight up and down. I’ve long wanted to put a dro on the blade height. Projects keep getting in the way.
i agree Kent,
I would like to see the games broken into three sections to be hosted in different time zones: Asia, Europe and the Americas. Thy could break it down further by letting different...
Well that just makes it more mysterious. As far as I know, Fitbit isn’t cellular capable.
good try but my wife’s phone was in the pouch. Also, I saw a number of watches on peoples wrists with large lcd screens. I couldn’t identify an Apple Watch but I bet those watches were smart.
We saw Ellen Degeneres at the DAR Constitution Hall in DC this evening. They had us put our phones in faraday pouches because it was being recorded for a Netflix special. It was done very...
See if there is a woodworking club or guild in your area. Some clubs will run a sale for you. Expect to pay 20% commission that the club will use to fund its activities. I’m from the Kansas City...
I liked it but agree that the commentators did a lousy job. I thought the whole thing was very French meaning a bit avant- guard.
Years ago, I saw an atomic clock on eBay being sold as surplus by some university. It was basically a big rack of electronics. Not at all attractive.
I got my first clock that receives the NIST...
Ive read that some cards offer a c9ncierge service. I’m not interested in tickets for the opera but I wonder if a concierge could help me navigate a declined charge.
I had the Jessem screwed to my rip fence but they got in the way. I unscrewed them and put them on a board that’s attached with mag switches. Now I can use the top of the fence for other things.
I pay it off on time.
I don’t exceed my credit limit.
I follow the rules.
we get declined and have to go through customer service. This is particularly frustrating when we travel out of the...
I hunted for a better article and came up empty. I agree with Doug’s book report comparison. It was definitely written by someone who didn’t understand woodworking. any woodworker would want to know...
The bolt works loose on my dewalt DW705 from time to time. I know what it feels like so it’s not a big deal.
After reading all this, I want to see the squirrel box website. Link please?
In the newest book by Andy Weir, “Project Hail Mary”, the main character rolls off a bed without removing his catheter or at least deflating the balloon keeping it in. Yikes!
For a hundred bucks, you can have a hammer that the sent up in a balloon to 115,000 ft.
I don’t know what to think.
