  1. Just based on my Lowe’s ..... paint and appliances are what seems to keep the lights on...

     

    whenever I am forced to go... I have my Lowe’s app loaded, find my own stuff, and go wait on line......

    I refuse to do all of the customer service myself, and then do Self Checkout !! (That is another rant by itself !!)

    Decidedly, I went to Lowe’s today and ended up getting a Wood magazine with an awesome quick and dirty build plan for a compact solid bench. I ended up getting some kd fir 2x8s and got them stacked downstairs tonight. Looks like I’ll finally have a bench in the shop while those beams I bought last year wait till spring for me to make my English bench. I figured this would kill two birds with one stone...get a bench in the shop so I can get back into action and allow me in my current condition to lift these things 👍😇🙏

     

    Hopefully tomorrow I’ll have the top assembled as well as the matching lower portion. Maybe a bench sometime Monday?

    Not only should you, you should take a couple of days off next week and come visit.  I have been home recovering from my “issue” since Christmas Day and am feeling much better. My Wife gave me the nod and next week I am planning on going to Warner Maine for a quick visit. About a three hour drive each way in the Mustang to a little business that is famous for making those chisels and planes. I might get myself a brass no 4 or a cast iron 4-1/2...... And sign up for a spring class 😇 I have been stagnant too long!!!!

    Great to hear you got “the nod” ..

    enjoy the trip and the obligatory souvenir !!!!!

    So got some great things in the mail today. Also some great news from the AWESOME neurosurgeons at Mass General. I am clear for work, my GP has me still at home with some light duty to follow shortly, but I can pick up my beautiful son finally and start increasing my excercise. Great news because I am going to be putting these gorgeous new tools to use right away. I got two sets of new card scrapers from Lie Nielsen, curved and straight, a burnisher from LN and two GORGEOUS chisels from Blue Spruce Toolworks. This will be a two part order, I ordered a Bench and a Butt edge chisel from Blue Spruce and then next one coming in will be a Dovetail chisel. From LN I have the sharpening jig on the way.also, not pictured is my new PDC from Festool, I’ll post some soon.

  5. My Lowe’s is not as easy as HD to shop at,  for several reasons, layout, stock, even the parking lot ! (Spots way too small) But the people there try to help.

    I do go to HD, but I need to be prepared, my HD sucks !!! The people that “Work” there literally will turn around in the aisle and walk away from you. When I go, I have my app ready to help find things.

    ( this is just my local HD)

    My Gloves arrived today. I hope they will work. They are Ironclad Tundra gloves. 200 gram insulation, full water and wind proof, and kevlar reinforced material. Rated for as cold as 0 degrees F. Should keep my hands warm, dry, and provide some protection.

    Post an update on these, always good to see if things are as advertised.
