I have needed a long measuring tool that is rigid for checking square on doors (measuring the diagonals). I bought this a bit reluctantly because it is in three pieces and I don’t normally trust...

This is to inspire; not to brag.

Yesterday I took in 500 bft of mahogany and 1000 bft of yellow birch for the hotel restoration project we are very involved in, on top of the 1000 bft we already...

Wow, you can surely see the Nakashima influence. Nice find.

I understood and didn’t think you were dissing my decision. I was just clarifying because people may come here to research, so I am careful to clarify things.

Ah, that is a good idea with the...

All good points. I am still glad I went with this machine. The plan is grow the business before upgrading. The vibration is mostly on the Z axis movement when doing tabs, so it goes up and down...

I bought the 6” Starrett combo square from Rockler on sale. At the time it was oversold, expected in March. The date kept moving up. Yesterday was the most recent date- now today there is no...

That is a big machine! I planned to extend this to 9 feet, but now I think that may be a while before I have that need.

It isn’t a lot of vibration- mainly when it does a quick z axis shift I notice it. Right now I’m good with it- just thought I would mention it because I did notice it, but as long as the gantry...

One thing with bandsaws- they make a very small pebble of a sawdust. It reminds me of termite poop. (Sorry, but that’s what it looks like.) The problem is that it has little surface area to be...

Hello all:

Just posting an update on the Avid CNC. It's installed and running, and I love this thing!!! I am so far very pleased that I went this route as far as cost and what I got for the...

I am probably at minimum CFM for this saw with a 1.5 HP dust collector, but the gap where the dust collection is was a big difference in dust collection working or not working. I have the collector...

**** UPDATE ***** There was a problem- Grizzly did respond and sent parts.

I waited to do this update, because I wanted to give Grizzly all chances, and I didn't want to post this update...

Message sent. Just this morning I said I need to get another M12 driver set for the CNC room, and boom- there it is!

Slightly off topic, but this reminds me of Bomba Shack in Tortola. They would
sell mushroom tea every full moon. Mushroom tea isn’t illegal, but it is illegal to sell it. They gave the tea away,...

I stopped to air up a tire and they wanted $2.00 for air. AIR!!! $2.00 !!!! I’m done.

I’m from the Deep South. It’s Coke, no matter what brand it actually is, except if it’s RC Cola, which you ask for by name, and you also should order a moon pie to go with it.

This will make ya cry:

I suspect the cause of the oven coming on is moisture in the pressure sensitive buttons. I had a stove get ruined that way. I’ll never again buy one with the pressure sensitive switches.

I...

So if we all stop eating at Wendy’s, the price will go down. Awesome.

Lamborghini made tractors. I actually bid on one a few years ago at an auction but couldn’t bid high enough to win. The story goes that Lamborghini went to buy a Ferrari, and Ferrari wouldn’t sell...

For sure this, or it is AI generated. I am a bug guy- I’ve had many of them. You can see where this has a bug front end, but they raised it up, and tilted the hood. They sectioned the center of...

Lots of progress! We got the door in, moved in some racking, and built tons of carts. CNC all set up- can’t remember if that was done in the last update. I think it may have been. Putting floors...

Well- I don’t want to brag, but it was a busy week. Glued up rails and stiles for 10 doors; installed a new roll-up door in the shop; made three rolling carts and three torsion boxes; and got back...

Good point with the floor. Should do that now.

I know acoit the pic issue, but I have to use the phone because it’s just too much trouble otherwise.
