A HF toolbox is worth more than a shop built toolbox. Maybe not to the person who made it, but to anybody else buying it.. I wrote that very unclearly. I meant for that the $400 Harbor Freight toolbox is a good deal. Especially when you consider what materials are these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlyoak Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 In simple terms the term “custom woodworking” means building a one of a kind, single item from the raw wood to a finished project. It's a very different process than shopping at your local box store or favorite online “home goods” store. try using google next time On 10/7/2022 at 6:24 PM, BillyJack said: Define custom? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part I'm going to be doing a bunch of 10" and smaller bowls/vessels. In the future though I'll probably get the bed extension for both sides. There's a 20" that can go on the tail stock side and 10" (I think??) that can go on the head stock side that sits about 3" lower so you can turn bowls/platters up to 15" in diameter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where in his post did he say production cabinetry? He said “factories.” There’s a difference. Of course, the “can’t” should really mean “won’t” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wtnhighlander Posted October 8, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Semi-annual bath time! Silver hides the grime pretty well. I knew I had been collecting a significant coat of grunge from parking at work, but didn't realize how bad, until I had to change the 'bath water' SIX times during the wash! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coop Posted October 9, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 I took my SIL , granddaughter, and grandson dove hunting today. It wasn’t real productive but GD and GS got their first doves ever. Just her squealing for 5 minutes was worth the trip. They are twins. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wtnhighlander Posted October 9, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 OK, no moresilly teasers. Here is my too-long running 'mystery project': This contraption will go into the cavernous opening below our drop-in cooktop, and provide much more convenient storage for cookware. As soon as I finish gluing down the non-skid shelf liner. All joinery is half-lap and bridles, pinned with bamboo skewers for good measure. Nothing journal worthy, but I got some handsaw practice, cutting all the joints. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what drove the choice of non-skid shelf liner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't slide around and is easy to take out to clean. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
