I used mine today to doing construction work, making a stairs to a platform. It has it’s place. Not planning to chunk it, but it will definitely be a bit more neglected now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Circ saws are great for construction type work. I grab mine quite often when i need to cut construction lumber and furniture accuracy isn't needed. It's also nice having a saw that you don't mind losing a few teeth to a nail. I probably need a new blade in my circular saw now as I'd bet it's missing 25% of it's teeth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it (kit with charger and 2 batteries) and another bare tool for $200 total. I really like it! I had high expectations and it has exceeded them! The way to grip it mentioned in another thread (I think?) is definitely the way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post legenddc Posted November 5, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I keep wanting to pick up that Milwaukee drill or the impact/drill kit but I don’t really need it. Maybe I’ll find an excuse. Found this at Habitat for Humanity Restore for $10. Also got these in from Rockler this week and already fixed my jointer issues. Need to check on some longer boards but I think it’s functional again. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're able to set up your jointer fine without it, you might as well save your money. I was struggling and for $32 it's a lot cheaper than a helical head. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortan D Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Just received a Milwaukee packout rolling container: I'm impressed with the size of this thing. I wasn't expecting it to be that big, but I like it. I won't have to spend 20 minutes french fitting my tools after using them, I should be able to just drop them in. I also got a couple of small boxes for screws. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I or do Reed these in Feb. 2021 and they arrived Nov. 2021. According to their website, they will ship the chipbreakers that are part of the order on Feb. 26, 2022. Grumble. These irons and chipbreakers will complete the replacements in all my planes, except my #8 Stanley. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the magnetic jig to be the fastest and easiest way to set knives. I used a piece of scrap glass and some rare earth magnets. Uses the same concept. The glass can be wide as you can see through it while tightening the grubs. Just passing this along in case it is useful for someone ;-) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just had a story on the morning news a couple of days ago. The maple syrup industry dipped into their strategic reserve in an attempt to keep from having to raise prices. They are starting to have substandard harvests because of weather changes. You better nurse that stuff Coop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Coop Posted December 3, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 A funny thing happened a few years ago. We had some property in east Texas and there was a vendor that set up on the highway, selling Mayhaw jelly for $20 a pint. Best jelly in the world, JMO. We invited a couple up for the weekend and I fixed breakfast with homemade biscuits and this jelly. The male member of the couple proceeded to load his biscuits with all of my jelly. A couple of months later, I found a Mayhaw tree, planted it and made my own jelly! Never invited him back for breakfast! 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
