Robby W Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 That is pretty fancy. When I got my chronograph, it was one of the first. It came with two IR sensors that you had to mount. Kludged up something with some 1 x 2 for scraps. Yours is a lot nicer. I'm jealous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine has the old "store receipt" style printer and I woulda gone with that but I'm a bit more modern than he is, and a bit more gadgety The first one I received had to go back to Caldwell because something inside rattled.

Popular Post pkinneb Posted July 6, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Finally received a saw I ordered in April from Japan, covid slowed its delivery Also received some Brusso hardware I purchased off a Woodwhisper FB member , $130 for over $300 in product. I look forward to using a couple new pieces but most were things I use often. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekMPBS Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 It didn't come in the mail, but last Friday I took advantage of the Woodcraft sale and picked up a Rikon 10-3061 bandsaw, a set of Whiteside router bits and the Jess-em router table rollers. They were all on sale so I ended up saving about $75, and got to take my wife out to dinner (she chose Texas Roadhouse). It was a good day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G S Haydon Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Decided to try a new style of mallet. Thought I'd hate it but really like it for detail work. I think it's ebony with a satinwood handle. Came up in a seconds sale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mick S Posted July 15, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 I thought I'd like to make an urn for Alison. I picked up a Rikon 70-220VSR midi lathe for the project along with a Rikon slow speed 8" grinder, a Nova G3 chuck and a few turning tools. I'll make the base since the one Rikon sells is a little on the lighter side in my experience. Also, I can wheel it into the garage and out of the way when I'm not using it. So far I've been impressed. Very smooth and alignment was pretty much dead on out of the box. I ordered it from Tool Nut on Saturday and it's here today. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to my brother up in Denver over the weekend. He casually mentioned that he got a laser - CNC 150 watt 36" x 60" bed. He has a contract to make 10,000 of something, don't remember what, but he frequently takes on corporate promotional contracts needing laser engraving. Kewl! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one similar for my 380 and had I shot it before buying the laser, I would never have. The loudest gun I have ever shot and I have 3 ea. 45’s. It will rest in my safe the rest of my life unless I give it away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
