Looking good so far.
I had posted previously asking about knock off batteries for Makita, since they discontinued then1830 3ah, and the newer batteries say they only work with the "star" system tools.
I've been fretting...
Will try. I was also wondering if it would be possible to use a lower voltage charger to get it part way up there. I know it's not a great idea to mess with lithium batteries. I wish you could just...
They are only compatible with the newer, old, star tools. But it would be worth checking to see if the local place has any "new" old stock
I have an older Makita set with drill and impact driver. I use them for everything under the sun. One battery batter recently gave the flashing red green signal when I put it on the charger. Both...
I picked up a foredom flexible shaft power carver in a thrift shop for $20. It was in a fairly large tool box with lots of other stuff. There was a set of flexcut tools with it as well with gouges...
Looks great. Something I've wanted to make for a long time
No isea, but you have me curious to see if someone knows
I have a rubbermaid container that I use as a portable carving box. It's about 8×11". I have a few short pieces of leather that I keep in there, charged with different grades of compound. I give my...
Great job. My first thought was also Time to do some animation.
I have a Detail Master burning unit. The pen I use most is like a thin knife blade and you can adjust the heat from nothing up to something like 900 °. I know this particular company went out but...
I have a drill and impact driver set from Makita, that I got a fair while back. They are 18V and take the BL1830 batteries. One battery started giving the error code and the charger won't charge...

Sears was with me throughout my childhood, and who didn't love getting the Christmas catalog. Our local store had a few appliances, but was mostly catalog orders. I got my first craftsman tool nearly...
I had a previous post about some round scrap maple glue ups. I cut them into rectangles, but then the crescent shaped pcs seemed too nice to burn so I cut them into strips. I was thinking how the...
The usual stuff like door and floor trim for tile installation, but it really was the only tool for one project. Was redoing a room for my sweetie and she wanted a funky angled gnome-like door cut...
A letter B drill is .238 if you want a tighter fit
Its a game with colored "code" pcs, a board and some pegs. There are many ways you can make it and it could even be played with a pc of paper and colored pencils.
The object is for one person, the...
The last thing I made was a mastermind game. It's been a big hit with everyone from my grandson who is 7, to the nieces who are high school age.
Wow, You are so unfortunate and lucky at the same time. I'm sorry to hear of your accident. I spent my whole career working in machine shops. I've witnessed a few accidents, some that made me cringe....
The way the rigid saws I have seen are made, you can't just swap out a different size motor. I took a free one completely apart last year hoping to replace a bad bearing, which I happened to have a...
A straight line knurl might be a good choice, since it would be more like a splined end.
Last yr, was getting 6 to 8 calls a day from "apple" on my answering machine. I finally picked up and waited for "tecnician".went through the whole process, first saying I don't know what an internet...
Some of my change goes from my pocket to the counter, then to the car, mostly for small stuff. I also have 2 large piggy banks, one cast iron, and one that I made from a 20 lb propane tank, that...
I just about have my Mastermind game finished. It started out by wondering what to do with some small scraps of maple, and ended up with a few hundred painted pcs, a game board, 2 finger jointed...
