Thanks for all the replies guys when I get home in a few minutes I'll take a bunch of pictures

Thanks@KnarlyCarl I honestly wasn't sure what they're worth was just making them cheaper than at HD and covering shipping. My sawzall broke and I need one so I got a kit but haven't opened yet because the only Way I'll be able to keep the tool is if I get rid of The 9.0 battery and the rapid charger to cover some of the cost.

Welcome Tim this is by far one of the best tool forms out there, but more importantly a group of some of the best guys who look out and care for each other

I have a brand new Milwaukee 9.0 battery and Rapid charger that was purchased yesterday. It came in a kit I got since I only needed the 1 tool. Both are brand new, never used, & sealed. Willing to sell the battery & rapid charger as a pair, or individually.
I will cover priority 2 day shipping, tracking, & insurance...
- 9.0 Battery & Rapid charger - $200
- 9.0 Battery only - $175
- Rapid charger only - $45

Wife got the plans on Pinterest, rustic end table, plan to build 1 more and a coffee table
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalkhey man i just started another tread about looking for coffeee table style build for my brother as a present. This would def be a good plan to start w/ and mabye extend a little longer. PLEASE PM me when you see this. I would really like more pics, the prints you followed, etc. thank you!!

So after I got my Kreg jigs and started to buy higher end tools & converted my workbench to have Kreg clamps slide in, etc. I really have been wanting to get into woodworking & making high-end items for around the house. I follow a lot of stuff on Instagram and there's always really cool rustic looking tables that look like they where bought a crate & barrel.
My brother is getting married & I thought I would build him a coffee table or something similar ...can anyone give me some ideas or pictures or something that they think may be a good idea. It can really be any look/style, just something that you think is nice ....BUT also something that I'm able to find blueprints or specs for as well!! I find a lot of pictures but they don't help me that much when it's just a picture and I can't see underneath or get specs or anything like that that's why I'm running into trouble. I was hoping others may know of some good places for that kind of stuff. Your help is always appreciated thanks guys you're the best

Hey guys I'm sure a few of you know that over the past month I've been fully finishing my garage (I have to update the thread I started & add tons of pictures, I'll link that later). I air sealed the entire garage, insulated, vapor barrier, hung drywall, drywall finishing, & 2 coats of primer so far + painted & installed molding around the doors and windows...
my plans are now to do some work in the attic after I was up there today. I'm a little worried that it's unsafe... in the ceiling there's a built in pulldown ladder and 10 years ago or so my father had basically laid a layer of plywood in the center of the attic about a 20' x 12' section. It looks like he literally just cut pieces and screwed it straight to the 2 x 4's. most attics I've seen anywhere that people are walking they run a second layer of reinforced 2 x 4's or 2 x 6. this is literally just screwed straight down to a 2 x 4's that The ceiling drywall is hung from...

I think I'm going to buy the Milwaukee sawzall and 9.0 battery combo, keep the Sawzall and sell the 9.0 battery with charger for $150

OK so I'm thinking I'm going to give this another go and order the parts. I've been trying to save about five dollars a week from each paycheck, all I can do with the financial issues in my life right now... i'm going to spend the next day or two looking over all my research and make sure I'm 100% sure I'm not missing anything. Is anyone else interested, that way we could try to get more than one kit at a time. To save on some shipping at least

So I got this Dewalt 40 tooth blade for half price while back. I was using the regular 24 tooth Diablo for a while. I ran a couple 2 x 4 cuts with my 24T diable and then and then switched to the 40T Dewalt and honestly I didn't notice a difference... I was super surprised I didn't notice a difference. Will I only notice when cutting plywood?

So is it weird that I didn't notice any difference between the 40 tooth Dewalt and My 24 tooth Diablo? I was going to buy a 40 tooth Diablo but don't know if it's worth it since I already have a Dewalt one, didn't want to buy the Diablo and then not notice a difference either... and waste the money. I know Diablo is not like the only blade out there but I shop at Home Depot so that's what I get.
Has anyone here used the 40T Diablo and also the 40T Dewalt? Maybe I was just over expecting a much different cut.. who know thou.

Did anyone else see these crazy deals for the 9.0 batteries! Fuel circular saw and fuel Sawzall are both $200 for tool only. So you're getting the 9.0 battery and charger for 50 bucks

Not a power tool but definitely a tool for painting. Does anyone else use these they got a ton of great reviews. My issue is that I went through about 10 of them at Home Depot and every single one soon as you extend the pile, it starts to wobble and shake a decent amount. I'm just worried that it's brand-new what's it going to do a year from now....

Also regards to the questions above I've noticed some small issues after I applied the first coat of primer is it OK to do some small patch work with bagged setting-type compound or should I just use regular spackle. Like dry-dex or green lid joint compound

Hey guys sorry I haven't been following up with this thread I've made a ton of progress and taking a lot of pictures. I'll be posting all of them tonight, my current state is all the walls sheet rocked except above and around the garage doors (this is something I'm going to have to figure out I really don't want to take the doors down and pull the rails but we'll see). Also the ceiling needs work it's the original 15 year old drywall wall. Some boards are pillowing (sagging in the middle, about 1/2" down). I'm not sure if this can be fixed somehow or I need to replace them. I'm worried if I push on them and set screws it'll rip right through...? I really need help and suggestions with the ceiling.
Also the two new walls and the two old have all have been covered in 1 coat of Behr drywall primer, should I do a second coat of primer or should I just paint now. This is the primer I used it was cheap and I had a can laying around. If I need a second coat of primer should I use a different one or the same. and I'm planning on painting the walls in eggshell in an off-white color.

Yeah Milwaukee bits arent that great Dewalt or Makita make better ones
Should I call Milwaukee... will they send me a new set or something for the ones that are stripped? They are literally three months old! -
This thing is so great I use it every single day I love it. I got mine free with a kit I bought a while ago-

This is not really a deal but my local Home Depot had all these 25% off the other day I heard and I missed it. They are now back up to regular price now. This set up as new as of a week ago at my store. So check your local stores because it seems they go on sale soon as they come up a store for the first few days

Haha yeah looks pretty good. but on the same note, you are probably way more organized and careful with things, and do what you think you should. I don't think it's necessary to wear safety glasses when cooking in the kitchen, but who am I to stop someone from doing so
Hahahah. The kitchen part was hilarious just made my bad day a good one-

I just dropped a 5 gal bucket of drywall primer on my foot that I got your back and never used. going to use it for the garage walls. I think it's going to be bad tomorrow ha ha

The reason I haven't spent a lot of time on this recently over the last few weeks and making all my international calls is because I've been spending 15 to 20 hours a day looking for work, posting resume's, looking for side jobs, etc. Since I have the next four days off and then one day at work and then three days off after that.... it looks like I will have some free time. the majority will be spent looking for work and helping family out, but I'm going to dedicate a couple hours maybe about 10 to finalize and 100% complete this project! I feel like a total dick and 100% completely embarrassed that I created this thread and spent all this time and now I can't even complete it, but I at least promise I will follow through and get an exact PO list ready with every part and every diagram.
--- if anybody else is interested in doing any other tool conversions please Posten let me know post pictures and the info of the tool I will work my friends and spend the time I have to continue this project for you-

Looks clean to me. Maybe e replacement parts. If not I would just remove it, but it's your tools and you know what's best for you.
Yeah the pics are not showing it good it's white inside everywhere. If I blow it literally blows dust cloudier and over and over.
In regards to the piece I'm talking about see the picture below. I used a black sharpie to draw line near the V to follow
This is a little piece I need does anybody have an extra or I heard a lot of people don't like them they toss them...
Converting Fuel Circular Saws to EU/UK Dust Collection Capiable
in Milwaukee
Posted
I know everyone has been curious about the outcome of this project... I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the parts tonight or tomorrow morning depend on when the guy in Europe shoots me a call back. Based on all my international calls and research and measuring from my saw & the overseas ones, it looks like this will go off without a hitch. Were all about 99% positive.
After this review, I plan on doing a very very in-depth video & build review with everything laid out and specs. And then more important I'll start all over again with a new tool. I'd like to hear your guys thoughts on the next venture. what about the M18 Fuel 7 1/4 right blade circular saw? Or is there something else you guys looking for? I was hoping to have more money right now because this is a perfect time for me/us to get our hands on a black Milwaukee case that everyone's been talking about. Hopefully I'll have more money after I order parts for a different tool next time!!
