And is that a one piece ear and eye protection helmet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Various bits in a rotary tool, and a little cleanup with an X-acto knife. I have a base from Stewart Macdonald that turns the rotary tool into a tiny router. That let me free-hand the outlines with a V-bit, then I wasted out the background with a couple sizes of ball cutter to get the texture. And, no. That get-up consists of a Nike golf cap, Harbor Freight ear muffs, and a magnifier that clips onto the brim of the cap. Goofy and uncomfortable, but it helped get the job done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Long story short but I had to change out my water heater today. And naturally, no fittings or dimensions are the same as the old one, so no hot water tonight for the much needed shower. I’ll be squealing like a little girl. Then followed by the new jalapeño flavored Snickers . If you like spice and chocolate, these are a must. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Lindt makes chocolate bars that are Chili flavored but the grocery stores are inconsistent about keeping them in stock. So when they have them I will buy a bunch. Nice spicy sweet flavor. I've couldn't find Jalapeño Snickers in a search. Are you referring to the Fiery flavored one ? Didn't know they were making different flavors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Yeah, the fiery ones. My wife didn’t realize she had bought that kind, nor did we know that they made them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 Drew, this must have been a wedding gift to use that much WS $ on a spatula? On a seperate note, your shop in the pic looks pretty organized, something I dream of. Have you ever provided us with a tour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chestnut Posted August 1, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Ok so i'm actually working on a project now. This is what we do right set our smoothers to take thin shavings and then post evidence online? This handplane is everything i love about the old stnaleys and then some. I still use my stanley #4 but when the going gets tough this guy comes out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RichardA Posted August 2, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 I built a stool from off cuts. Spalted red oak legs, regular red oak aprons and stretchers and all red oak but one piece of cherry in the seat. My wife needed it for the nurses and therapists that come during the week. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
