Tom King Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 The plaster in that house was pretty thin, as such plastered walls go. I haven't thought to check it in thicker plaster walls. It's worked anywhere I needed it too. It does work vertically. 1 Quote

No calibration ,push the button, put it on the wall and it reads instantly. I always have 2 or 3 ball magnets on my belt but plenty of times a stud is there but there aren't any nails in it. Got a lot of drapery rods to hang at the girlfriends house. I'm pretty sure the builder/drywall crew used glue to hang the sheets with fewer fasteners. I hate hanging rods on drywall anchors ! After this weekend I will let y'all know what I think of it. I don't see it detecting electricity as being a feature. Long cabinet hanging screws and wires are a bad mix. Time will tell. Maybe I have to use the Franklin first ? This is made by Franklin. Interesting it's not clear on the website, but I downloaded the pdf manual and there it says Franklin. Quote
new2woodwrk Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Posted January 12, 2018 Worked on one of our websites for the past 2 days - transfer of old to new was a massive fail - I abhor relying on others to do a good job. They seldom do.... 1 more day of this then back to the shop - hopefully It's been raining anyway Quote

Plus it runs on 2- AA batteries. Got mine from Costco yesterday. Seems to be a decent thing. Quote
Chestnut Posted January 14, 2018 Report Posted January 14, 2018 Why has no one made the aweful but necessary joke "Stud finders don't work a round me" yet? I got my shop rewired so the lights circuit isn't switching outlets in other parts of the house. Now i'm organizing my shop. Quote
wdwerker Posted January 14, 2018 Report Posted January 14, 2018 Comedian Steven Wright did a bit about a switch in his house that didn't seem to control anything. Every so often he would flip it a few times just to check. One day the neighbor comes to the door yelling " Stop it ! " 1 Quote

Rapid Roger Posted January 14, 2018 Report Posted January 14, 2018 Remember the light switch in "National Lampoons Christmas Vacation" ? It caused a bit of frustration for .......(what ever his name was. I can't think of it right now LOL) Quote
Llama Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 Bought some primer for some MDF BS I'm working on... Visited the humane society which didn't have many animals (which is good)... Went to another place which always has great animals to adopt. Mostly the sought after "designer" breeds.... Almost bought a puggle. Great animal... Quote

Hey Rick, I knew you had the wolves but I didn't realise you had any other dogs. How old is your great dane ? My wife got me this puppy great dane as a surprise bday present in November Quote
Coop Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 You’ll be sorry you asked that question of Rick. Be prepared. Quote
wdwerker Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 I scratched an itch this morning....then I gave that stud finder a workout hanging drapes & shelves. It isn't perfect, I got a few false readings but it worked better and faster than any stud finder I've ever used. You just put it on the wall and press the button. No wait for it to calibrate, if it's over a stud it lights up the location. Then it lights up the locations as you slide it across the wall. There seems to be a slight lag time but after you stop for a few seconds it catches up. I did double check with a magnet before I screwed into a stud. Quote

His dad is 205lbs and his mom is 176lbs. He is 15 weeks old and must weigh almost 50lbs ! His eyes are blue as well but we cant be sure they are going to stay that way. Quote

I just recently rewired my light circuit to also kill my overhead garage lifter. Nobody parks in the shop so the door shouldn't ever need to lift with the lights off. Just a little safety feel good for me. Quote

Mick S Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 A friend brought over his router table top so that we could enlarge the opening to fit his new Incra Mast-R-Lift plate on the CNC router. Worked like a charm! Today is the wife's 60th birthday, so we're heading to a movie and dinner after I take her breakfast in bed! 1 1 Quote
Popular Post Tom King Posted January 15, 2018 Popular Post Report Posted January 15, 2018 This 12-1/2 pound boy is no Great Dane, but his Stud Fee is $2500, and his handler is fun to have around too. Picture is from a show that he had just won. Pictures were already in the Gallery here. 3 Quote
