LOL, I understood what he said as soon as he said it. The old "misc bucket". That was my daughters duty as well. Dump the bucket and sort through and find what you want. Then have the kid put it back.
Makes sense to me
Exactly...

These are high end furniture making tools, only the big rich boys get to play with these
Sent from my iPad using TapatalkYeah, but every time I struggle and I'm not happy with my work. I say there is some craftsman out there that used to do all this with just hand tools.
Everytime I look for woodworking tools on CL another cabinet shop is going out of business.

Looking at a fuel drill it's easy to see how it's lacking on vent holes.
Thats so the liquid freon does not escape...

The person I bought my Powermatic jointer from was a hobbyist woodworker. He was replacing the Powermatic with a Felder planer jointer combo. They look like beautiful machines but I have never run one.
There is a guy by me selling some old Oliver iron. The machines look like they are in great condition. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/tls/5976206321.html

You did it the expensive
I own the Festool sanders but borrowed the track saw and vacuum from work. So I did it the cheap way

I cut and fitted a piece of live edge wood in a friends house today. I still need to add the nakashima bow tie over the crack and cut the plugs for the screw holes etc. He will do all the polyurethane work. All the cutting and sanding was done in his living room. I used a festool track saw and sanders connected to a festool vacuum. He also chased the track saw as I cut with a Ridgid shop vac. It was virtually all dust free, and cuts were laser straight no way could I have done that in using Milwaukee or Dewalt etc tools.
Other wise we would have had to carry it outside multiple time to make cuts. It was so nice to have the work piece on saw horses a foot away from where we were installing it,

We use Amana blades for cutting Acrylic and Lexan on table saws and chop saws. https://www.amanatool.com/products/saw-blades/non-ferrous-saw-blades.html
I cut a bunch of 1in acrylic recently with a festool track saw, it was then finished by our CNC dept. The Track saw cuts were as straight as can be though. The sheets were 6x8, so I was cutting them to fit onto the CNC machines for the circular shape they needed for the final cuts.
I'm not familiar with HDPE though. A non ferrous blade should do the trick, just watch for heat build up.

Definitely going to play with this hinge idea on a smaller scale this week...

We had JITool 23 gauge guns at work. Then they bought a bunch of Grex 23G guns and the difference was so noticeable I bought a Grex for my own personal use. Besides the Cadex gun comes with a Systainer...

Any thoughts on this nail gun? I'm thinking about replacing my Porter Cable 18g nailer with this one. I can only fit 1 1/4 in nails in my PC and I would like the option to shoot longer 18g nails. My PC gun is close to 14 years old so it doesn't owe me a dime. http://www.festoolproducts.com/cadex-18-gauge-2-nailer-in-systainer.html?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=CKzVwO2sm9ICFYdafgodChkBNQ

I don't think I miss having a tool box like that, reminds me too much of my time in the auto shop ha
My dad was a plumber, I think I never got into it because I hated when he would just dump 5 gallon pails of fittings on the floor and it was my job to pick them all up.
I was cutting cast iron, threading black pipe and cutting and cleaning copper by around 12 years old. Glad I was around in the lead and oakum days. I drove the plumber nuts when I renovated my house and threw him off the job. They were not used to a home owner that actually knew what they were talking about. I wrote up a 35 page document with all their FU's

I'm trying to figure out if I could pull apart the new Milwaukee Bluetooth Speaker and stuff it into a Mini Festool Systainer. I ordered the Systainer today. But I need HD to sell the Speaker with their easy return policy

The price is kind of crazy, but what a nice compressor for finish work.

Finally got my truewerk pants
How do you like those vice grips? I recently picked up 2 pairs of the black and yellow Stanleys. I bought a pair of Milwaukee but took them back as I pinched my finger the first time using them.

Question on the Plywood.... I couple of weeks ago I bought plywood at HD to build closet shelves for a friend. It was the same as you are using with only about 5 layers. I picked at it with a knife a bit as I have seen MDF sandwiched in layers on occasion, but that was not the case here.
The finished plywood we get at work is made in China and has double the layers, but there are often small voids in the layers. Then there is 5x5 Baltic Birch which is absolutely flawless.
Do you have any opinion on the number of layers and strength?

I picked this up tonight at HD on clearance for $50.00. Original price was $299.00. It would not let me upload the picture I took.

Hanging light
in Woodworking
Posted
Here is a little hanging light I made. I still need to drill through the top to add the socket for the bulb etc. I have a flash light in it for the illumination.
