Eric. Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 That's cool. I like the sapwood in the center. Perfect use for zebrawood. I'm pretty sure @Llama built a zebrawood bass once too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Got one of those horse stall mats to put by my workbench today. The amount of cushion is perfect, and wheeled devices roll across it well. I got the 4'x6' version, and split it down the middle. Daaaaaang, that thing was heavy. Awkward to carry as a dead body. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Yea, carry ,if you drag the body it leaves a trail ! Those horse stall mats stay wherever you put them and that rubber smell lingers for a few weeks or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Big C clamps work well for handles on stall mats. For anyone who needs to know the easiest way to cut them: Use a utility knife with a new blade, along a snapped chaulkline, with a 2x4 on edge under the cut line to provide some spreading force by walking along behind the cut with your knees. Don't push down hard with the knife, or the rubber will close in on the sides of the blade making the cut many times harder. Take multiple passes as you go along, and it goes pretty easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Good tip on the C-clamps. Cutting it wasn't too bad. New blade in the utility knife, as Tom said. After scoring the line, I folded along the score mark, which pulled the edges apart and made the cut pretty simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric. Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 I wonder if you'd say the same thing when your new car arrived with a big ass dent in it. Meh, shrug? Just hammer it out? It's brand new. Should arrive in brand new condition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 lol No. It's a 30 dollar saw not a 30K car. It's a quick and easy fix for the saw, a few minutes max. I'd fix it and be working on dovetails rather than waiting for shipping. I get that things should arrive as advertised. Doesn't matter. New is new. Bent is garbage. I wouldn't pay five bucks for that thing. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just needs some Hammer Time. It's super jacked. The spine is completely disconnected from the blade I think. Even if it wasn't. I paid for a new saw that is straight, that's what I'll get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klappco Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 The weather here today. Can't see across the lake. No fires near here but smoke and ash blowing in. Asthma wife is struggling and I'm starting to feel it too. Laying low for the rest of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
