Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all had a great Christmas and I hope you all have a fantastic New Year.

Hey Big Mike How have you been. With all of the instagram and twitter happing this place is slowly sinking into the sunset. TIA forum isn't going anywhere it will always be here for now. We just have to see what the future holds.

When my business was larger and I had guys working for me I would buy Ryobi all day long. Theses guys didn't care how they abused them and they didn't have to pay for them. They worked well got the job done and when it took a dump it was cheap to replace. Fast forward to today it's just me and a helper I'm deep into Milwaukee but I have a few of the other colors thrown in there. The bottom line is buy what you like and what works best for you.

Congrats R1! It wont take much to got that old flat head running. It is always good when something returns to the family that makes us think of the the good times.

Nice work and Welcome to the forum.

Thanks to Instagram and Twitter I think all types of Forums are dying off. I know that TIA has been around for about 9 years now. I have been here since the beginning. The first few years I would just drop in and read what people had to say. Then after seeing that the asshole factor here was slim to none this was the tool Forum I was the one to join. I have been here as a member for 6 years now and I have seen this place grow like crazy and now I see it dropping off. I know that ChrisK works hard to kill the spammers and the assholes in check. It is only so much we can do as Mods but hopefully we will see some renewed interest in TIA and we can grow this community.

Is anybody planning on going to Las Vegas Feb.19 - 21 to the 2019 NAHB International Builders' Show.

Happy New Year to the crew. I hope that you have a lot of new tools in your future.

Maybe a cordless mud mixer could have the speed and torque you need

For a band saw try LENOX TRI-TECH CT CARBIDE BAND SAW BLADES

I would like to take this time to wish everyone in the Crew and their family's a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. You guys make this place what it is. Thank you for being part of this great community. Regopit

Hand planing to flatten the top. I like you ambition. 🏆

It would be nice to see a video of of the build process.

Welcome back

Thanks ChrisK Ii hope that you and your Family have a fantastic Thanksgiving and also the rest of the TIA family the same.

this vac will work good on drywall dust and such. it is a cyclone the HEPA filter is on the exhaust side of the vac

or

This vac is more for job site clean up and also has a hepa filter. If you are not doing lead dust clean up and are going to use it mainly for dust extraction you can get something for less money.

I use the Milwaukee M18 FUEL Mud Mixer with 180° Handle This thing has plenty of power. If you are on the M18 platform It is a good choice.

Nice work!

If you post some pictures that would help

Welcome to the boards. Enjoy your time here.
