  1. He has unique "clients" In the end it might even be you.
  2. Looks like a nice router table setup. I love working with MDF but for reasons you know better than probably anyone on here, I hate the stuff.
  3. Very cool. Heavy? I bet you made some dust making that.
  4. https://www.thesslstore.com/blog/firefox-52-adds-insecure-password-warning/
  5. Oddly enough I have been getting that on many sites with Firefox.
  6. I borrowed a Silverado truck from a friend of mine about 8 years ago. I never did give it back. He keeps the license up and tags. Its getting rusty in the rockers now. I need to talk to him about trading it in. Its a great tool
  7. Appears is tool dudes are slightly possessive of our stuff
  8. @Eric - TIA It appears these guys are asking for a review on these.
  9. Pretty sure that's Dan. I saw his girlfriend shooting video in Periscope the other day.
  10. When you find something that works let me know. I have tried everything you read about online that is supposed to work "better than anything else" This includes Johnson paste wax, Boshield and even Lie Nielsen Jojoba oil. My table saw is next to my utility sink so I often splash it after washing my hands. One of the guys on here mentioned clear poly but I have not tried that yet. Boshield worked the best so far.
  11. I had press envy for a couple years and ended up scoring one for free. I had it for a few years and while assessing the space it was occupying I realized I had only used it twice. Both times I could have completed the task in another manner. So it got gifted to my cousin. It was nice but not nearly as nice as what you are looking at. I would love a blast cabinet but I need one about the size in your picture and I dont have the real-estate for it.
  12. Yea once you find a working receptacle to plug it in to.
  13. Thats great when they do that. I have a close friend with the same Ridgid saw and he is as frustrated as you were. Not sure what the deal was with that product !
  14. Yes they do. I have used something called Raptr screw that screws in brick and concrete without pre-drilling. I dont know how they compare to the TapCons I normally use but both seem to work with no issues.
  15. Bob Marino, Lie Nielsen and Amazon !
  16. Not sure which is my favorite. His festool track saw tear down or the womans vibrator !
  17. I am selective who I would lend to. The list is short. Anything I have that says Festool on it never leaves the shop. Bring it over and I will do something for you with it but dont ask to borrow
  18. Looked like a decent build to me except for the ring gear material and as he mentioned the solid copper wiring going to the switch. Cant say I have seen any solid wiring inside a power tool.
  19. I just started watching him a week ago. Pure comedy ! Whatever makes it chooch ! Should add that its not work of kids safe. None of his videos are.
  20. My daughter if she needs it and if not Craigslist. When I do Craigslist I price things fair and clearly state PRICE IS FIRM-CASH ONLY. If its not worth $40 or $50 and if I cant give it away easy it goes to the garbage can. I love to pay it forward but a lot of stuff doesn't make sense to ship ! I should find a place to donate.
  21. You mean you dont like it when your beautiful weld makes that tink tink tink sound and cracks as it cools back down?
  22. Wen will this crazyness stop !
  23. This is a short but interesting video. I am currently enrolled in Robs Power/Hand tool workshop as well as his hand tool only workshop. I can honestly say I have learned more in a few short weeks from Rob's videos than I have in my entire life building stuff. They have an odd format (you might call it unprofessional) where they do unedited (or try) 30 minute videos where Rob walks you through the process of building something. A project may include over 100 thirty minute videos. During these builds we often get interpreted by Rob stopping to sharpen a drill bit or make a jig. At first I thought it was a waste of my time but in the end I either learn something or reinforced something I though was happening. The videos show the screw-ups and what it takes to fix them. The Cosman videos are nothing like the highly edited professional videos you see online where they remove the screw up and you sit there thinking the guy is a wood God. To add to the unique format the camera guy is usually involved in the conversation giving tips or sharing things he can see from his vantage point. Their format makes you feel like you are in the shop and even though I have never met them I feel like I know Rob, his son Jake, Dave, and even Frick (the tech guy that edits and publishes the videos for them). One other thing I want to mention is the great things Rob does to help wounded warriors which include veterans with PTSD who attend his classes and deal with their condition. One of the things I have learned is a plane might need to be sharpened several times a day to do the things I want to use them for. I need to learn his simple method of sharpening as I dont have the patience to pull out my veritas jig that often and try to sharpen a plane or chisel. I can assure you, his method works because I have watched him hundreds of time clean up joints are plane end grain and the outcome is perfect. Sanding afterwards typically degrades the finish. Anyway, for those woodworkers that have not ran across Rob Cosman.. Enjoy !
  24. Working on the final step today. Drawers.
