Tom King Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 What's the story on the chicken house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 We expanded our flock of chickens from 3 to 15 and needed a bigger coop to accommodate that. I was going to make it but simply don’t have the time so we ordered one. It was delivered yesterday but of course last week a fox killed most of our chickens so it’ll be a bit before we’ll have it filled up.

Tom King Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 We've had a Fox problem before, too. One dug down about a foot to get under the wire buried that deep around the pen. I put 18" square pavers all around the outside, so one will have to dig a tunnel to get in now, and haven't had a problem since then.

We are going to put in a wire mesh floor 2-3’ around the outside perimeter of the run, that will fold up and tie into the fence so they can’t go under the fence and would have to tunnel a good way to get in. Also putting up a low electric fence line (all except the area where we take the kids to bring food scraps to the chickens). Determined not to lose any more to the foxes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 This 1/4" plywood is growing on me. It's honestly a bad product, doesn't stay flat well, internal plys are inconsistent, but it's cheap at $20. If using ply where quality didn't matter and i can hold it flat this fits the bill. It's befits are how thin and light it is as well as cost. It used to be$15 a sheet but what do you do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 @Chestnut, I find that the 1/4" luan stuff sold as flooring underlayment at the home centers is a far better quality material tthan the hardwood ply from the same source. Works well so ling as you don't need a 'show' face of a particular species. Of course, you probably have a better local source for ply than I do, anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in that luan category but the store doesn't recomend this as an underlay material. I'd bet that it's the same stuff you can get. The quality isn't great really. I got turned on to it by theater set makers for being cheap, light weight, and takes paint well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 Our Home Depot has some sort of 1/4" underlayment plywood back where all the tile backer boards are. I've never looked at it closely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BonPacific Posted June 16, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Lucked out and found someone selling just the blower from an old Jet 3HP dust collector for $250. I'm going to pick up a 6" stand-alone cyclone and wall mount this thing out in the shed beside the shop. Should be a very nice upgrade from the old Harbor Freight. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post drzaius Posted June 16, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Didn't come in the mail, but I picked up 12 light duty clamps from Lee Valley. Various lengths from 6" to 24". It's such a pain clamping a 4" piece with a 48" parallel bar clamp. I gave them a quick workout and really like them. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BonPacific Posted June 18, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 The craigslist gods have continued to smile upon me. Snagged a (as far as I can tell) barely used air cleaner from a guy selling off his (deceased) fathers shop. He seemed glad I was another woodworker, so I also grabbed a selection of clamps and some chisels to round out sizes I didn't already have. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 That's a good unit I like mine. The fast raise and lower and DRO are not the most useful. I've never turned on the DRO in 3 years and I removed the fast lift system so i could fit it in my shop better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
