Also listed on eBay so will update the OP if something sells.

I buy stuff and then never get around to using it. I need to get rid of some of this stuff to make room and funds for something new. All items include USPS shipping from Queenstown, MD. Flexvolt Grinder, DCG414B - $130 -sold Flexvolt Grinder, DCG414B - $130 - Sold pending funds Veritas Medium Shoulder Plane w/ PM-V11 blade - $190 - Sold Veritas Low Angle Jack Plane w PM-V11 blade - $225 - Sold 4x Bessey BPC-H12 1/2" Pipe Clamps - $60 for the set. If someone wants everything I'll do $675 shipped USPS. None of these items have been used. With the exception of the grinders everything is in its original box. The grinders will each ship with all accessories except the Dewalt bags. Photos Below Please note that the shoulder plane has some black marks on one side, I believe this is from when they did the center fill area. I did not notice it when I bought it, but also did not remove the plane from the box when it arrived or I would have requested a replacement. I'm sure those more knowledgeable than I know of a way to remove it, but I didn't want to risk damaging it just to clean it up to sell. It is also possible that it is ink from the manual.

Bought the Milwaukee M12 Compact Inflator last week, the morning after it arrives I get in the car and the tire pressure light is on. 5 minutes later it's off (had to figure out what tire was slack) and the inflator now lives in the car 24/7 for convenience. Used it to inflate two tires the other day, they were sitting for a while and at 0.5 PSI. Love the fact that it screws on so I don't have to hold the chuck on the stem.

No updates on this currently, I actually bought a 500mm X-Carve recently so this has gone to the back burner. I'm going to use that to help determine how I build my own. I know I want a larger Z axis and a frame setup that is stiff enough to handle milling aluminum blocks.

I don't have photos of everything but recent tool additions include: 500mm Inventables X-Carve Monoprice MP Mini Delta 3D Printer Some Amana Tool 1/8" shank and Whiteside 1/4" shank router bits Tacklife digital calipers Dewalt 2x 20V Max Lawn Mower Campbell Hausfeld MP290001AV Air Brush Kit The lawn mower is hopefully going back to Acme for a replacement because FedEx beat the crap out of it to the point that a rear wheel is bent inward, which really sucks because I need to mow the yard and the riding mower is on it's last leg. I looked at the Ego but a getting into a battery platform for one item, especially when said battery has only a 45 minute run time didn't make sense to me since I already have a bunch of Flexvolts.

This wasn’t a purchase but a gift. My uncle came across some planes at a yard sale. Two firsts, my first Stanley and my first transitional plane. It’s a No. 27 which means it was made between 1870 and 1918 so it’s between 100 and 148 years old. I plan on giving it a very light cleaning, maybe putting a protective finish over, and making it just a display piece.

Get the Ridgid. I love my Milwaukee stuff, but I only love the stuff I have now. If you're going to get Milwaukee you need to get Fuel models or at the very least the brushless models when available.

The final part of the first Lee Valley order I placed two weeks ago finally showed up today. Low-Angle Jack Plane with a PM-V11 blade.

There are a couple LN planes that I will probably pick up if I find a need for the particular plane. The #7 and the #8 since Veritas doesn't have them, unless I can find a Millers Falls equivalent before then in decent condition and at reasonable price, but eBay sellers seem to think that ones in absolutely terrible condition should be the same price as a new LN. The little #102 bronze block plane is also kind of calling my name. I have the Veritas apron plane, but still the LN is bronze which means it's heavier and better for some work. I think LN has a better chance of getting my other hand tool business because I do like the look of their saws.

I looked at the Lie-Nielsen shoulder planes online and something about the lever cap just made me go "I don't think it would be comfortable". Granted I have to get used to using a shoulder plane in general but the LN also looks like I could easily break the lever cap because of how thin it is compared to the Veritas. It could be unbreakable for all I know but it just comes off as fragile for lack of a better word. In general I like the overall appearance of Veritas planes better and for $14 more in this case I get PM-V11. Some of LN's planes are more expensive then their Veritas counterparts which is also a big factor in my decision making and that's even when I figure in the guild discount.

Which one did you get, the Semi-Pro or the Hobby-Pro and did you get the gravity feed or bottom feed gun? The box is vague at saying what is inside and all of the models seem to be the same except one comes with a gravity feed gun.

My second Lee Valley order from last week arrived today containing 10 really small rare earth magnets. And a medium shoulder plane with a PM-V11 blade. While typing this I got a notice that the other item from my first order had been charged to my card which means it should be shipping today, which is much better than what I saw first thing this morning when I checked and it said backordered until June 20th. I posted on Instagram, went and did a few things came back and was looking up something else when I noticed everything except the specific model I ordered was in stock. The model I ordered said the 8th for one part and the 3rd for the other, which was better than the 20th. Then I checked my order and it said reserved, I guess they got a shipment in or inventoried one during that time.

The first half of my first order from Lee Valley last week arrived today, it's also the least interesting (to me) item of the order since it was an impulse add on. A FeatherPRO feather board. I'm looking forward to putting it to use on the table saw and will come in handy as I square off some 2x4's for a project. Second order should be shipping today and the other half of this order was supposed to be in-stock last Friday but no update on it.

Example of the Milwaukee deal. http://www.acmetools.com/shop/tools/milwaukee-outdoor-power-equipment/DiscountDetailsDisplayView?code=Milwaukee+2725-21HD+Your+Choice+May-10113560&langId=-1&storeId=11301&catalogId=10551&productId=3074457345617432902

Milwaukee and Dewalt both have drills and string trimmers. Milwaukee tends to have deals where you buy a string trimmer kit and get a free leaf blower or hedge trimmer.

Seconding the inverter, you’ll be able to use it for more than just charging Milwaukee batteries and you can upgrade chargers as new ones come out or if you add another battery lineup.

That is a terribly misleading choice of words, I thought you meant they were under $10 each not the difference between the two in price! 🤣 I dropped everything and went right to the Home Depot website because if they were under $10 I was going to buy 20 of them.

I have a friend that owns the 734 which I assume is just the newer version of this planer, he likes it and it does a good job from what I have seen. This sounds like a decent deal if it works, is in good condition, and you can get parts for it should you need them. Something to consider, if you want new instead of used you could get a similar style planer from Cutech for $9 more than the Dewalt currently with free shipping. I have this planer but haven't put it to use yet since winter was cold (no heat in the "shop") and I've been swamped with work since it arrived, I mainly bought it based on the reviews of their jointers that I saw. Here's a link to some more info on Cutech http://www.woodworkersjournal.com/cutech-tool-meet-new-kid-block/

Says it starts May 22nd which is tomorrow but the checkout is already showing free shipping.

Lee Valley is doing free shipping again on orders over $40. http://www.leevalley.com/us/home/page.aspx?p=60912 Of course this happens two days after I place an order. I emailed them to see if they’ll apply it to my order since the item is back ordered until Friday and I haven’t been charged yet.

I have been so busy with work that I haven't had a chance to do anything in months, instead of screwing around trying to figure out workbench plans to suit my needs and planning out every detail of the shop I'm just going to take the fast/easy way out for now and eventually get around to doing everything I want. For a general workbench I'm building Guy Dunlap's Small Hand Tool Workbench, probably not out of ash though: The walls are going to get OSB and then painted white The power tools are going to stay the same for now at some point I'm going to pick up a lathe I'm going to go with a larger work bench/assembly table and an outfeed table similar the ones Jay Bates has videos on. The outfeed table height is going to be based on moving my DW745 onto a DWE74911 stand to get a little more height and so I can store the saw easier when not in use. I'm probably going to build some stands similar to the outfeed table for my bench top tools so they each have a stand with some added casters. I'm going to pick up a Milwaukee stand for my miter saw since it's battery powered and I don't currently have space or see a need for some gigantic miter saw station

Sold both the 1/2" High Torque and 3/8" Milwaukee Impact Wrenches since the new M12's have been announced and I figured it would be easier to sell them before the M12's come out. Since I keep sockets in the car for tire changes and the high torque used to live there I picked up a Gearwrench 15" breaker bar until the M12 comes out. I've been meaning to pick up some of these for a while to keep in the car all the time since I move the TSTAK with the impact out to charge batteries. I went with the 15" instead of the 24" since it can fit in a TSTAK and will probably make it's way into the ratchet box if I decide to pickup a 24" for each car.

That’s good to know. I’ve been thinking of picking up that saw even though I have a One-Key Sawzall since it’s only $79 and I’m curious enough to try it. It also would give me a recip saw that could be loaned to trustworthy family but cheap enough for them to replace if something goes wrong.

Likes: M12 1/2" Impact Wrench M12 Rocket Light M18 Table Saw M18 Barrel Grip Jigsaw M18 12Ah Batteries M18 Chainsaw PACKOUT Slim Organizers PACKOUT Mounting Plate Rover Light w/ Carabiner The impact wrench is just a convenience thing for me, I have a M18 1/2" High Torque Impact Wrench that currently lives in the car with a set of Craftsman lug nut sockets, flash light, batteries, and charger. While this is great to have, being able to replace it all with M12 items makes the box lighter and may give me room for a second flashlight. The issue I have with the M18 Rocket Lights are their size, they are huge and can easily get in the way. The M12 ones appear to be much smaller and suit my needs better, plus I can toss one in the car in case of a break down. The M18 Table Saw, they took the Dewalt did and added the two things that kept my from buying the Flexvolt, a second miter slot and dado support. I compromised and bought the DW745 since it was the right price and had the second miter slot but no dado support. It's probably leaving when I get the M18, my garage is short on outlets and while I've used the 745 with the Dewalt Power Station it's still not as convenient as cordless. The M18 Barrel Grip jigsaw is a nice surprise and I am so glad I sold my original M18 jigsaw last year because I'd probably have a hard time selling it now. My Bosch 12v Jigsaw is already on eBay since I can now go to only two battery platforms with this announcement. The M18 12Ah batteries are just going be great for the tools announced this year and I'm sure will be needed to power anything released next year. I was planning on replacing some of my 4 and 5Ah batteries with 9Ah's when they went out, but now it's more likely I'll be picking up 12Ah's first. A chainsaw is something I've been needing to pick up and I had been eying the Dewalt 20v prior to this. The PACKOUT slim organizers and mounting plate are the items that are going to get me to actually buy into PACKOUT. I like my TSTAK's, but I can see a lot of uses for the slim organizers and mounting plate. The slim organizers are the perfect depth for my electronics components and other small parts that I don't have enough of to justify a standard organizer depth. The Rover light with a carabiner on it seems like something I'll buy a couple of. Stick one in each car and a couple in the house. Dislikes: None There was nothing they released that made me go "Why?" I might not have a use for every item they released but other people probably don't have a use for some of the things I liked. Wishlist: M18 Compact Router Power Station Push Mower This is where I was slightly disappointed, I was a really hoping for a push mower, but my guess would be they will have one by the end of the year or by next NPS at least since they have the 12Ah batteries. A power station would have been nice, but I do already have the Dewalt one so it's not something I probably would have prioritized buying anyway. The compact router seemed like a good bet with Ridgid having one and Makita releasing one. Milwaukee doesn't really focus on woodworking tools but the table saw at least means they may be changing that.
