Conductor562 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Nice video Chase. Looks like you've got a good start on your collection. You'll be looking for a bigger box before you know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FerTheHandyman Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Nice video Chase. Before you know it you'll have a whole lot of tools but you'll never have enough (I know I won't). Good luck and have fun with your projects that's what it's all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Black Friday is the time to buy a box. I got a $1500 Craftsman box for $500. Zoro tools usually has a 40% Cyber Monday sale as well. I can't swear they'll have the sale again this year, but I'm putting some cash back in case they do!

firefighter4187 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Does Milwaukee have a contractors table saw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Does Milwaukee have a contractors table saw? Yea, they have a DW745 Compact Model and a DW744 which is the bigger model. I have the DW744. It's about 10 or 12 years old. My dad gave it to me when I was going to drop $750 on a Bosch 4100DG. Free is good, but the Bosch is the superior saw.

Conductor562 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 OOPS, you said Milwaukee, my bad. No Milwaukee does not make a table saw. I was mouthing off about it a couple years ago. I'd love to see them put one out though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefighter4187 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Why did you put your pliers and screwdrivers on the peg board? Trying to figure out something different for my tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Why did you put your pliers and screwdrivers on the peg board? Trying to figure out something different for my tools. They are easily accessible, can be quickly taken down or put up, and it's easy to tell if something is missing. Pliers and wrenches are harder to organize in a drawer than they are on a PB. They make plier racks, but that requires you to use one of your deep drawers which are always in high demand. As for screwdrivers, they're the most used tool and having them right in front of me is super handy compared to running back and forth to my box. Without using my PB I'd have to have twice the box I have now which would have been twice the money and twice the space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
