  1. Business sticker question

    in Pub Talk

    Posted

    I want to start labeling all of my tool, equipment, etc. and instead of using a sharpie I thought of getting some stickers. Do they make high quality weatherproof stickers? Maybe bigger ones for my tool boxes and tiny ones to put on my power tools and batteries. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

  7. New business name help

    I like the Great Lakes Woodworks myself. As dumb as it sounds, if you have your town name in the title people will unconsciously  think that you may not work in the their town. Also maybe use woodworks with an "x" in it. Great Lakes Woodworx. Just a few ideas.

  9. Ugly tool-related injuries

    in Pub Talk

    Posted

    I was cutting a hole in the bottom of a 5-gallon bucket with a utility knife. I was cutting into the thicker center ring and when I somehow slipped and stabbed my calf muscle and buried the whole blade. Unfortunately the concrete truck I ordered showed up at that exact moment, so I made a tourniquet and did my job. It was a bloody mess when I took it off. 

  16. Dewalt tough box

    Ok, so I'm a Milwaukee guy, but I recently purchased the tough boxes. The big, little, and small ones. I'm very impressed with the quality. I'm curious how many boxes can sit on the dolly. Can I fit the three main boxes and still have room for another or am I gonna need another dolly? Thanks in advance. 

  17. Proper way to record your time book?

    I own a small masonry business. I usually pay my employees from when they leave home to when they leave the job. Clean up is paid too. At times I also get paid by the hour and I had a contractor complain and said he wasn't gonna pay me to drive to work. The job wasn't far, maybe 10 min, but I always start the clock when I leave the house, then I gotta get stuff loaded for the day. I explained that I would be happy to start my time when I got to work, and then I asked him when he was gonna pick me up in the morning. He never said anything about it again.

  21. Tool box

    in In The Shop

    Posted

    I'm looking for a tool box that I can toss on the back of my truck in the rain, snow, etc. I know that the dewalt tough box is a good product but are there any others out there that would work. I'm a masonry contractor so they'll be used roughly.

    The snow started at 12 am and I go up to go to the bathroom at 5 am and we had 8" already and it's only halfway over. It's gonna be a great day. I'll start off with a big breakfast with a mimosa or two, then make burgers and have a killians or three, then I'm gonna drool over new tools online, then I'm gonna sleep till Friday. I love snowstorms. I need to keep the credit card in my wallet though.
