I think that's me:

Foggy night, a view from my apartment:
-
Without anything better to do, I grabbed my 17 years old Sony DSC-F828 and started shooting boring objects around the house. My goal was to get the "perfect" pict right out of the camera, without any post-processing whatsoever. Here are a few examples:
-
I like that Jessem router.
-
Indeed.
-
I've been using part of my quarantine time to put things in order. That included getting rid of tons of useless technical manuals from products that do not exist anymore. I kept the Apple II and the IBM PC manuals for sentimental reasons though... I also kept the following book for no reason
-
Fortunately it was only MDF. I guess my new drill press fence will have to wait until I have the time to setup my router table.
-
This is what happens when you forgot to fully adjust all the knobs on your fancy recently acquired edge guide...
-
Nice design but for most applications you need a wider router plane than just 4 inches. My LN is 7 1/2" wide and sometimes I wished it was even wider.
-
I use my LN dovetail saw. I like Japanese saws too, they were my first choice when I started cutting dovetails, but I found out I make more accurate cuts with my LN.

I fixed this: Fine woodworking & attention to detail
-
I use the flat one (LN Boggs) mostly for rounding corners. It's more comfortable to use than a block plane.
-
I don't need a tracksaw, I just have the guys at the homecenter to cut down the panels for me. I don't work with sheet goods very often though.
-
Thanks. I have the same bits. -
Same here. That also applies to any slotted screw, I drive them by hand.
-
That seems like a great idea. What brand of spade bits do you use? I must try that, I get a lot of recoil when I use spade bits with my regular drill.
-
Yeah, the screws will go in no matter what, without pre-drilling, they are great for construction lumber. Those impact drivers also protect your wrists, they will never kick at you, one can hold them with 2 fingers and they will still do their job.
-
The drill I use the most is a tiny Bosch barely the size of my hand, you can see it in this pic: The other drill has a hammer function which I need from time to time. I also have an impact driver, I was excited when I got it, but honestly I can't remember the last time I used it.
-
Bosch cordless drills are good but they do not excel at battery life.
-
If you need to make a thousand holes a rotary hammer is the way to go. But for the occasional user like me who only needs to make a few holes for fischer fixings or whatever, a hammer drill is all you need.
-
Impact drivers come with a 1/4" screwdriver bit adapter while impact wrenches come with a socket adapter (3/8", 1/2", etc). I have a small impact driver but I seldom use it. It is noisy and since it doesn't have torque settings, it can ruin your work. I guess it's more for carpenters/framing tasks.
-
All brands have cordless drills with a hammer function you can turn on and off. I currently use a Bosch one most of the time.
-
If you use the right drill bit, it does make a big difference. I use Bosch "construction" drill bits (the blue ones). With the hammer function I get a clean hole on concrete walls/columns. If I don't use that function the resulting hole is almost always oversized, takes more time and the drill bit gets wasted sooner.

Two Router guides to hog out large Mortise - Roubo build
Immortan D replied to danglin's topic in General Woodworking Talk
I guess you can't set the guide on the wrong side using that method -
I like stick framing and metal roof and siding. Check the RR Buildings youtube channel for ideas, they make great stuff.
