When my father was a young man, he knocked together a fast and dirty set of drawers for holding his tools. He used it continuously for decades, and I learned the names and uses of all the tools by helping him on projects. "Bring me the 8" adjustable crescent wrench" and I needed to know what tool that was and which drawer to look in. After a lot of trial an error, I learned them all. When he got older and I started woodworking, he gave the cabinet and tools to me. I still have it. Every time he saw it in my shop, he'd say, "If I knew how long it would be used, I would have made it better." -
@Chestnut - I don't know about the "wrong" stuff but the obvious difference when you find the one that works for you is noticeable. I buy abrasives wherever happens to have the best deal at the time. The last batch of 6" Xtract I picked up was at Amazon amazingly enough. I usually draw the line at 50 cents each but prefer less . There are often promotional packs of different grits for a good price if you are connected to any of the usual suppliers via email. -
Where do you get the Xtract discs? Based on the comments here I'm using the wrong sanding discs. -
Lost power yesterday morning. I ended up going into my (empty) office. We were getting closer to no power for 4 hours and it not expected to return for another 2-5 hours so I stopped by Home Depot and bought this Dewalt inverter. Was hoping for just enough juice to run the fridge and freezer one at a time. Of course the inverter was missing parts and therefor wouldn't work. While I was waiting to return it my neighbor texted that the power came back on. I hear the power company working out there today. Hopefully we don't lose power again today. -
