I keep wanting to get some of those milwaukee ones too. Perhaps they will go on sale again sometime.

Any type of cooler/ice chest should be fine. Its becoming summer months so I always have mine loaded down with ice and such. Gotta stay hydrated.

Thats pretty cool.
Seems like it would be relatively easy for any handy types to make a jig to do this out of just scrap wood or something.
Making your own shims is a nice idea because them store bought mass produced ones always kinda suck,and using scrap pieces means less money wasted,plus fitment would be nicer. At least in machining you can recycle the chips and get some dough back.

Thanks man,pretty stoked on this.
Seems well designed and thought out.
I'm curious to see if they have other modules in the works. Hopefully I talk the wifey into some modules for fathers day hehe.

Yeah from what I remember of these,been a longtime since ive seen one,they are nice to have on top of ones bench or on shelves,small items dont slide over the top if you tilt them upwards either.

I've been watching the Dunham stuff on Amazon. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006WQB3RK
It's very similar to the stuff Ace hardware uses to store hardware, metal case with removable plastic divider. I'm hoping the rack finds it's way to warehouse.
Aah,I do recognize those,seen them before long ago.

My vote is for fazzman then
thanks bud,this would give me an excuse to grab some of the other cool Ryobi things like an airstrike after getting modules id like to have that is. even thou power has never gone out in this house nice to be prepared. Never know when one of the large trees around here may snag a powerline or some other silliness.

Such a gracious dude,rockon Chris.

I have a garage door that could use the new ryobi opener heck yeah!!! Total epicness. I was actually looking at these in HD last few times i went. The modules are totally cool,and just the phone app itself would be really useful to me. My garage is also my man cave area so being able to setup the different modules could help make things easier to use.
and my vote goes to KnarlyCarl aka notCarl since i cant vote myself. #tiacrew

Nothing you buy at the local place is gonna do much but Ortho Max is best imo, been there,done this several times. You gotta get a guy to come spray your entire yard front to back. It also depends on the kind of ants you have,a good bug guy should know what it will take for your area and have procedures to follow. Estimates at least around here are always free. Scope out a few places and give them a call to come out. the trick to getting rid of them is killing the queen
My good friends brother is an exterminator he charged us $50 or so. California has alot of regulations on how they are to properly apply sprays and such so i assume other states do too,you should look into that just for the knowledge. The stuff a bug guy has you wont be able to get easily because of permits(at least here in Cali).
Ortho Home Defense MAX works kinda good on ants,I usually use it for Black widows but it lists alot ofcritters on it. they normally have it at HD for like $8-$13 bucks can give that a try first. the gallon refills are cheaper I think,would work decent if you have a good sprayer just pour it into sprayer and moderately cover your yard,it shouldnt hurt the grass in anyway. let it dry before you let kids/pets and such around regardless of what you use.

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.
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.

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 still have one of these my dad gave me,great info in a pocket size package.

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.

Lol, thats funny. Thats exactly why I have a seperate bank account for such purchases.
You gotta spend dough to make it when you use tools for work or even hobby.
Ive never used that one but the size seems good. I just would never bother using it because of what I already have.
$99 bucks seems overly high for that type of tool imo.
