Mark J Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Congratulations @Askland09 ! Yeah, it's a big rabbit hole, but it's very nice in here. What make and model is it? I don't recognize it, but it looks sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Beasley Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 That sliding headstock is nice. If you can get an outboard toolrest for it that makes is possible to turn oversize pieces, quite handy when you are roughing uneven blanks at the limit of the bed ways 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jonathan McCully Posted March 14, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 My dream tool came in today. Got lost for about 2 weeks in St Louis (not sure how you lose something this big), but finally got it. So excited to have a full compliment of tools to use again. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Nice! You’ll love it. The router table and industrial base are great. I thought about stepping up to the ICS but settled on the 3hp PCS. It has been fantastic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Music CD. Pantera, Cowboys from Hell. I also listen to classical 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legenddc Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Love that you bought a CD. Do they still have the CD of the month mail club thing? Recently got rid of all our CDs but have kept the movies so far. I wish I had taken our parent's albums but not enough space for them and I'm sure we'd barely use them. Still enjoy having a physical object to play music/movies on. A lot easier to find something you want instead of having to remember it all.

Popular Post wtnhighlander Posted March 15, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 In another thread, I asked for suggestion on router baseplates. This is the one I picked. And here it is installed. Very glad to have guide bushing ability again. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnG Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 I cheaped out and got a Wen. I’m wondering if I’ll regret it and still end up buying a nice one, but we’ll see. At first glance it isn’t terrible. (A machinist might think otherwise, knowing what a nice Motutoyo, B&S, or Starrett is like) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used a Harbor Freight one for a couple decades and it has always been adequate. In machine setup we are often trying to measure the difference between two things (table and cutterhead for example) as opposed to getting an absolute measurement. I wouldn't want to spec out engine parts with one but for aligning my tablesaw it has been fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have kept my L.P.'s, taken better care of my daughters Barbies, not passed on that 1955 T-bird, etc. Having physical music media seems to be the point where I stopped . I do full-quality copy stuff to a small hard drive to play in the shop. I keep a few weeks worth of music on random while I'm "working". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of years ago I spent days & days ripping all our CDs. Several hundred of them. We just never use them anymore & they were taking up space. They are lossless files on 2 hard drives & fully backed up on a third. Even so, they don't get played that much. It's just so much easier to stream it. For serious listening I do play the flac files. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My music was all ripped years ago and sits on the same external hard drive unused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can listen to all the music i want with no adds no streaming interruptions due to lost cell service etc. I already bought the music so ads and streaming services can take a hike IMO. It also puts the song controls on the radio allwos youto search for a song etc. If your car has a modern ish radio with a USB slot it's highly likely you'd be able to do this as well. It's worked in my vehicles back to 2012 ish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car is way older than that but I have an Anker Bluetooth-FM Transmitter-Dual USB charging ports, all in one small package that plugs in the cigarette lighter socket. Pretty handy little thing. It even has a built in microphone, lets me answer phone calls hands free. I use Spotify and my favorites list is set to be available offline on my phone, so I don't need an internet connection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotify is popular but for some reason i never really cared for it. I was also under the impression you couldn't use offline without the paid subscription maybe you can now? I never wanted to pay to listen to music twice, or get strong armed into ads even though i paid for the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
