Pappa Griz said that Gass wanted a lot of money for the license. I forget the exact dollar amount, but it was excessive.
If a Griz saw plus Gass's royalty made the Griz saw at a comparable or...
There's a jig made by Kreg called "Kreg Crosscut station" which I have never tried, but that could be a workaround if you get a circular saw (but not a miter saw).
If you are going to do trim on a...
Nope, people survive motorcycle accidents. They might have a coma, brain damage, etc.. They don't all die.
His point stands. We all pay into insurance. There's people that use the insurance that...
If you watch youtube with the Brave Browser, it blocks the ads for you.
I'll never understand why there's such a need to try to convert people to sharpening freehand. I've already bought the jig, it works great, so why not use it? I mean, if sharpening free hand, is...
Well, my peanut jig arrived today. There's no screws included with the plastic peanut connectors. The instructions say "use a 3.5 mm screw -- length dependent on application)
I played around a...
Some people can only afford low quality furniture.. I understand and respect that..
But there's many middle class people that just don't value good furniture anymore.
It goes beyond the kitchen...
wow, that's a steal for someone. Especially with the extra blades, fence, stand, accessories.. If I didn't already have one, I'd make the drive.
I have a cabinet door set by freeborn, I think I have a few other cutters by them too. (I don't use my shaper very often anymore)
They are a good company, good as any, IMO.
Peter, get the 6" floor jointer. It's going to have more mass than the table top one. Most likely , longer beds also.
Don't worry about how nice the cutter head is.. Plain old fashioned knives are...
Please give us a followup after you use it. I'd be interested.
Edit.. a potential problem for me is that the router bushing they sell (which is 30 mm) requires a 60mm recess.
The standard porter...
So youtuber Peter Milliard has a comparison video of the peanut vs the Lamello.
I do not have the peanut, but I do have the lamello
the Lamello tenso connectors are permanent, it is recommended...
I used to have one of these. I really liked it, I just use other tools to do what it does now.
It was a fun thing to use.. That's a whale of a deal for someone.
I'm just a hobbyist. In my opinion, it's worth the money to spend on a premium tap.
Maybe it's just my technique, but I've had cheap taps break in the hole too easy... Which often ruins the piece.....
Yes, another factor is that just about all hobbies have suffered since the explosion of the internet.
More people have gaming/streaming/watching TV as hobbies as opposed to something like...
In case someone is interested, I'm 99% sure a Nova insert will work in this chuck (please verify on your own).. These were made by nova, all Nova jaws will fit.
It's really easy to make your own, with a joiner and some 8/4 stock. I believe there's plans on this site if you search..
Basically.. you mount a flat board, it spins and the ring master cuts rings out but the cut is slanted. When you have it dialed in, you can stack the rings together and there's very little sanding...
It really depends on what you want to do.
I'm not criticizing a shooting board at all.. it can do some stuff that a miter trimmer can't
But if you have a lot of 45 degree angles to cut, the miter...
They used to have "deals".. where if you bought a domino and vac together, you'd get something like $50 off. I'm almost positive I got 50 off when I got mine.
Maybe they did it with the track saw...
Definitely plywood.. It's stronger and does not have nasty dusty.
I will say I am biased though. I hate MDF.
Yes, you can make MDF work, but at least in my area, MDF is not that much cheaper, so I...
Hi Rob, I am a big fan of Lee Valley and this is not bashing them.
There's a left handed shooting plane on ebay now, if you don't want to wait.
Obviously, I Can't post the link here, but search on...
