What came in the mail today?

[Robby W]

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!

Hopefully I have better luck with this one.

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.

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.

[Ronn W]

I love shiny objects.  Nice purchase.

I haven't bought much lately in woodworking tools but did get this nice chronograph for measuring bullet speed.

No home should be without one.

Brusso hardware is a joy to handle & use. Great stuff.

[Coop]

Damn, I missed the Brusso deal. Would have been a good chance to stock up.

That's what I thought. I figured worst case the stuff I have used before and will again was still less then what I paid

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.

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.

Nice saw! A while ago I ordered Japanese saws from Germany. They sent me a set of Dicks.

[RichardA]

I wanted to, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it                  It weighed on my mind.  That LGBQ multi letter crowd will be proud of you.

Is that for working morning wood?

[Coop]

Not a substitute at my house!

For my birthday my wife bought me, among other things, a laser beam.

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.

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!

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.

This one arrived yesterday:

Without a doubt, the coolest multitool in my collection.

[legenddc]

That's real cool. Makes my little Leatherman CS keychain seem like a toy.

I had a languishing gift certificate for Woodcraft to use.  I really couldn't find anything I needed, but this was on sale.  Seemed like it might come in useful.
