  1. Thanks Kato, I'm thinking about doing a chair build (Morris style) and will end up upholstering it myself. I'd like to use something along those lines as opposed to tacking stuff in.
  2. Kato, how is that little stapler? Do you think it would do good for upholstery? Also awesome videos.
  3. John, this is probably my favorite post that I have had in a while. I'm really interested in where you go with this and what you decide to use for a DC unit next. Are you going to splice into the 4" further up the ,one and are you going to use flex or go with ridged duct work?
  4. Welcome to the forum James!!!
  5. Thanks guys i found this recipe in my utility drawer. I wrote it down so long ago that my last girlfriend had added some stuff to the back piece of paper. Two batches, one without walnuts, one with. And another batch in dough waiting for Monday to get baked. Wow. I haven't baked in over a year. Good down in the shop though!
  6. Not wanting to deviate from my blog here but hay! I have to feed the woodworking machine!
  7. Mine was the Skil 9.6v drill, a Black and Decker jigsaw and a cordless dremel which still works but the battery is long since fried.
  8. Nice job Jimbo. I've had my Kreg system for years and love it.
  9. What's wrong with that????? you should see my toothpick obsession.
  10. Welcome to the forum Curt, glad to have you here sir!
  11. Professionally sharpened. Ise use Festool blades as I'm set up for them and Forrest. Awesome blades from Forrest! They have a sharpening service too, make sure you keep your blade boxes. https://www.forrestblades.com/#/home
  12. I thought they used Mercury to cure syphilis!!!!!

    Been Away

    Sorry to hear about this Comp. I hope she, you and the family are doing well.
  14. The problem with not being a social network kind of guy means no participation in Twitter or periscope but that's okay! Some of those sites are really scary.
  15. Awesome find John! Good for the Kanuks! I've got the last version of this with the Zobo set of forstners. Awesome tool kit.
  16. Now why on Earth do I have to have something for sale for Pete sake???????
  17. That's the advantage of the home shop. Just like everyone else here, it's our shop. Safety is a personal goal. These videos are made by industrious members for industrious members. If a guy wants to cut a 4x in a particular fashion in his shop, so be it. Jim, great video. Even if it is a Milwaukee And if a guy wants to tell me how to do stuff in my shop....? Well....he's entitled to his opinion. I hope he keeps it to himself but at the end of the day. It my shop. My rules. Take what you will from my shop and my video. We open ourselves to criticism every time we shoot a video or write a post. I hope, on our forum anyways, we keep that criticism professional and friendly. Any rude commentary or disruptive behavior will be dealt with immediately so let's everybody keep focused and friendly. This is a great site. I've been here for several years and want to see it stay that way. Like elbows....Everybody has an opinion and when it comes to criticism it is kind of interesting to see how people come across. This forum, Tools In Action, is NOT the Journal of Light Construction. This is a tool forum. Plain and simple. We are full of amateurs and hobbyists and professionals. Everybody comes from a different background, myself included. Everybody has different levels of experience and training. Some in the pro field, some in their shop, some as enthusiastic home owners or renters. I for one like reading all of your articles and if I can't take something out of it? Great. If not? Who cares? Somebody else might take something from it. Monday Night Quarterbacking shows up to ALL of the members. And the guys that contribute to the forum? Keep on keeping on guys. God bless you. I love the information. The guys that don't really contribute but like to criticize? Well....like leaves in the Fall, they go away. Keep up the good work all of you guys that take the time to make this forum unique and informative. And if you screw something up? IT IS YOUR DARN SHOP!!!!! Be careful but have fun. Remember what Tools In Action is about. It's about Tools......in action. No misnomer there.
  18. Wow. I gotta get in gear with more tools. What the heck guys????? Slow down!!!!!
  19. Great job Jimbo. I just saw (get it????? Yukka Yukka Yukka) the posting. Love the material your putting out, it's fun watching the guys post these. Can't wait to show off my new saw....soooooooooon!
  20. Like Jimbo, negative comments. Doesn't matter where but on line it ticks me off. That's due to the anonymity that the Internet provides be it YouTube, here, wherever. If I have a problem with somebody I 1) keep it to myself or 2) if I feel strongly enough I let them know to their face. Thats the biggest problem with the Internet and social networking. Nobody knows how to talk to anybody. Also.......SUPPOSIBLY. Its SUPPOSEDLY!!!!!! There ain't a b in the darn word!!!!!
