  5. A cabinet scraper is not a knife in any form. It is basically a rectangular piece of steel with a drawn burr meant to smooth the surface of wood. Here's an image of one: Follow me on Instagram: "@amanteafinewoodworks"

  7. I hate those leashes.... I use these... https://www.lowes.com/pd/Dixon-Ticonderoga-Company-Reach-Deep-Hole-Mechanical-Pencil-with-Refill/999997766 They work fantastic, get into really tight spots, and the holder stays attached to my pocket or my rig...

  15. Hey, if you have extras, I bet we could work out a deal!
  16. Yep, or 2mm for those who think metric!@bremon
  17. Great insights. Quite the setup you have there! I really like the ideas, and appreciate knowing how you are organized. I've got to do something, because I'm tired of all my tools in a million different cases rattling around in my Excursion. I love the idea of having a different case for each job type, and putting in the accessories with the tool that uses them. That makes a lot of sense to me, and satisfies my OCD tendencies as well. Like a lot of people, I find that if I don't ha e a designated home for something, it ends up on the closest horizontal surface available, and can be difficult to locate a second time! (that's why I have a zillion tapes, a quad zillion pencils, etc.) I'm tired of doing that, and hate the wasted time. Good organization is expensive, but only once. Without it, I will pay for it the rest of my life... [emoji16]
  18. Great thoughts! I do like the idea of keeping the different tools in separate cases. Much better than lumping them all together,and makes more sense to keep the accessories with them. Honestly, my Intention for the 450 is to get into a wheeled cart without having to spend the money on a DS cart to start the things off.
  19. I'm in southern Louisiana now... Baton Rouge Area... So close you can almost the water in the Gulf of Mexico. It's great, but people really freak about cold weather here. I don't think there's a snow plow or even a snow shovel with 200 miles... [emoji16] [emoji2] [emoji38]
  20. Lol... It's like 35 degrees here and raining, and the schools are closing early due to harsh weather... A hard freeze warning is about ready to shut down the city! After spending 25 years in the Midwest (Iowa), this is comical!

  22. Yep, that's the reason. We can thank Wally world for this practice. They started required a different sku number back in the late 80's early 90's so they could avoid price matching. It saved them millions of dollars. Now here it is 2017, and it's a fairly common practice. Most retailers won't admit it, and some manufacturers require the retailers to pay a small premium for the sku by throwing in a bundle at the retailer's cost (like free nail guns with a compressor, etc), but the savings is still offset. If you look at most price match guarantees, in the small print it will tell you that the model number must match. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T217A using Tapatalk
  23. It's getting close for me as well! Still figuring out what to do though... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T217A using Tapatalk
