Fazzman

Nice Id love to get my hands on some lista or vidmar cabinets. Used alot in machine shops for all sorts of things.

Thats awesome,even more awesome that your wife supported that. Usually what they(momma) dont know can be better hehe. Put a straight edge on it and some persuasion via deadblow/soft mallet,I bet that'll fix that bottom drawer stickiness.

Facom makes some really cool stuff.

It's a great tool,and strong enough for alot of tasks around the house. kind of a shame its not in the $20 off $100 or it would be an insanely good deal but still $99 for the kit is pretty nice.. Cant wait for them new Bosch 12v impacts to come out.

I saw these at HD not long ago,seems like a great idea. yeah the hose looked terribad. a nice Ridgid hose or something similar would be a good upgrade for it.

Bosch 12v is way more compact and has good torque control. This will do what you want plus alot more. I use it all the time. around the house. http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-PS21-2A-12-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Batteries/dp/B003BEE12U/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1464727769&sr=8-12&keywords=bosch+12v Who cares about brushless,it gets the job done.

Awesome dude,thanks for sharing you have a great site.

I know bosch makes some pretty good saws and blades,Id love to see you do a holesaw shootout one day with my favorite Lenox Holesaws. The L;enox set I have is really beefy man,itcan hog thjru some stuff like butter. Jim you are doing great videos,thanks again for sharing. Lenox has many different kit configurations.here is the set i have the 17 piece general purpose kit,all the exterior doors on our house are wood and steel sheathed. these things cut out the holes for the locksets in no time and with my plain jane PC drill. http://www.amazon.com/Lenox-Tools-308201200G-General-Purpose-Bi-Metal/dp/B0000224TK?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

The Colt is a pretty badass smaller router. Its been on my list for some time now. Freud makes alot of 1/4" shank router bits that seem easy to find and work well.

I just lean mine against a shelf, a good cheap option is plastic pipe holders like plumbers use. Ive been thinking of making ceiling mounts from excess pvc i have around.

I'll try and list some stuff of usefulness here for you and whoever else finds it interesting. An article i made for the Crew regarding Tapping and threads etc - machinists practical guide - http://www.morsecuttingtools.com/cgi/CGP2SRIM?PMITEM=20402&PARTPG=CGP2SRFC&PAMENU=Content-type: text/html I still have one of these my dad gave me,great info in a pocket size package. machining formulae and knowledge base - http://www.sandvik.coromant.com/en-us/knowledge/pages/default.aspx Mini lathe turning - http://www.mini-lathe.com/Mini_lathe/Operation/Turning/turning.htm Machinerys handbook pdf - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwMSCZJ_SEEhaDV4RzEyUFYtM2c/view Filing guide - http://www.nicholsontool.com/MagentoShare/media/documents/nicholson-guide-to-filing-2014.pdf I'll think of more but there's alot of info above and defo more than you might even want to know in the beginning. Id save the machinerys handbook pdf for sure. It literally has anything you'd ever want to know about the metalworking trades in it. Most important thing to remember when turning in a lathe is make sure your tool is on center when cutting.

Just saw this man,been busy with the crazy heat temps hitting Cali now. All my life 3rd gen machinist here. Grew up machining with my grandpa and dad. Ever need any info or tooling info or just wanna chat im generally around bro. Now that you have a lathe and indicators a mag base or two if you dont have,and a decent set of calipers if you dont have. Depending on what you plan on making micrometers. Micrometers can often be found for cheap sometimes at local pawn shops,just make sure they come with a standard and dont look like some goof tried to use it for a C clamp. Id start with something of decent length that is easy to machine so you can make sure the tail stock is in alignment with chuck. Other wise when you put say a drill chuck in the tailstock to drill a hole your center line may be off which can cause all sorts of tooling and part issues. Also acid brushes and containers for cutting oil,I like spillmaster containers,will be way less messy than coolant. Acid brushes are super cheap at like harbor freight. CRC also makes cutting oilin a spray can that works great too. Hex keys and Torx wrenches are used on alot of tooling holders and such.Combination center drills,HSS 118° drills,Air compressor hose nearby for blowing off chips and parts. Bench grinders with proper wheels for HSS and Carbide tools so you can sharpen/change bit profiles. Some decent hand files(I prefer Nicholson files),in the lathe you can do whats called Lathe filing(deburring with chuck spinning). please make sure files have handles on them otherwise bad things could happen to your hands or worse. Also no long hair or loose clothing near the chuck or spinning part. And of course safety glasses. Cant stress safety enough with lathes. There's a book by the L.S. Starrett company called the Starrett book for student machinists. Its very small and doesnt cost much nowadays,and then one day get a Machinerys Handbook. Machinery Handbook is also known as the machinists bible. Also if you go to like Starrett website you can get free tap and drill charts and such,always nice to have by the machine. Practicalmachinist.com has a fantastic forum community that has great knowledge. Ill post more when I can get back to my pc later. If you have any local shops nearby go talk to the shop manager and see if they have any scrap stock they wanna let go for the cheap,let them know you just got a lathe and are looking to get started. Comp was a machinist and engineer too. He has some great knowledge to share too.

Keen shoes,sandals and BOOTS are awesome. Comfy waterproof just fine if needed and they are built well. Id also suggest you checkout some Danner boots if possible. I like them alot too. Happy feet = Happy you. I have size 15 b width with low arch feet so not always easy to find ones that fit proper,I tend to find dr martens in my size fairly often too. Love that air wave sole. Get some superfeet insoles for your new boots too,you will be in foot heaven man. In the shop its standing on concrete floors for 8+ hours a day and I have a back injury so foot comfort even that much more important. If there is a barebones workwear or workworld or similar where he lives id look there first. Keen website should show you locations by his area code.

ToolGuyd just reviewed that hammer like last week,it is made in China like most useless tools. If you cant get a nail out with a regular hammer and or Wonderbar/cats paw you are doing it wrong.

That is a great setup for the garage. One problem for me at least in my garage,is its super dusty. My house faces East to West. With East being the backside of the house. I almost always have the back garage door open because it leads directly to the larger patio in backyard where we grill and have a fire pit. Plus multiple hairy dogs,I could never keep mine as clean as yours is. Wind is wierd in my neighborhood,lots of tall trees and the way houses sit. When my neighbors and I all have our flags out you can see them moving in different directions,its so wierd. Sorry for ramble im 3 beers down now hehe.

hopefully the hole spacing they give is wide enough to even hit the frame. would depend on truck. and hopefully you can drill with out hitting anything else. If you have Rhino lining or something similar in your truck bed that would eliminate the need to add padding.

I dont have any personally but i know a few folks around here probably have a couple.

Anchored for sure. you can use heavy duty chains too if you had to. Grade 5 hardware would be sufficient enough,and wont pop when any kind of excess pressure is exerted to them. ie someone using a prybar. Just use grade 8 washers

yeah dude that seems like a huge safety hazard in the kitchen.not to mention your electric bill is gonna build up if you use it alot. Get something with LED at least. Do it right the first time mang and you will never worry bout it again.

ive worked with guys like that,not cool to mess with a dudes tools. In the shop thats when the grease gun and shrink wrap come out to play, shrink wrap is amazingly strong when its wrapped around itself hundreds of times. in the field you gotta use ingenuity to get them back.

I wish my wife would even attempt to use tools. Let her keep it and get another lol. Then lock it up.

^^^ all humans make mistakes man. It's just in our nature. Just like human kind cant help but destroy everything it sees. Thank you dwain for being real.

Those ridgid boxes are nice. I hope they go on sale again this year for fathers day,id like to have a few more of those smaller ones.

SDS rotary hammer dude, get a Bosch with a chisel on it and go to town. I have the Bosch bulldog extreme posted above,its awesome.

I have a few Apex brand bits that are probably 20 years old. We used them in military.
