Tom King Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Woodtek is very reliable equipment. I have several pieces of it. It's the store brand of Woodworkers Supply, which is going out of business, so if there are any parts needed for the edge sander, or parts that you might need in the future, you probably should see if you can get them now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Immortan D Posted June 27, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 A replacement blade for my bandsaw just arrived, 1/2" 3TPI bi-metal. Funny, because I ordered it a month ago. And even more funnier because I needed it 1 week ago. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post legenddc Posted June 29, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Big order came in this week while I was traveling. The bottom rolling toolbox is already listed for sale, it was cheaper to buy all 3 and sell that one. Got a great discount and couldn’t say no. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 I had to have a battery blower and got one foot Christmas. I haven't used it. I probably should move it to the garage where it might get used more but storage space is limited there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legenddc Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 My backyard is 90% covered by a deck. I'm looking forward to not getting a cord wrapped up in patio furniture. I'll keep my corded Toro until I get to use this in the fall just to make sure it can handle my limited use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Von Posted June 30, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 My month of tool acquisition disorder ended with the arrival of a box from Bridge City. I'm still getting my sharpening skills down, so I ordered their guide. So far I like it in that fence and clamp gives me confidence I'm getting blades held properly. One gripe - the roller froze up very quickly after I got it and needed lubrication. While I was buying the guide, I noticed their mini block plane on sale and impulse bought it. Figure it for a good easer. I'll have to look for an excuse to try the depth guides. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gary Beasley Posted June 30, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 I got a boring jig from Craft Supplies for turning rings. I learned this was adapted from metal lathe equipment. From the looks of it I can use it for sizing box lids, threaded and unthreaded and for flattening waste blocks perfectly even for the small ring blanks. Could be used for evenly flattening segmented rings as well. Anything that needs a precisely sized and true hole thats on the lathe, making the ring blanks being one of them. Amazing part about that is it only cost about $105 plus shipping. Seems quite well machined. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pkinneb Posted July 7, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Got some long drill bits I need for the shavehorse build and also a flush cut saw I was able to use during a recent class. The flush cut saw has no teeth set so it works really well without marring your surface. It is a pull saw with an ultra thin blade so if you get one don't ever push the blade as it will bend. Both from Amazon.com 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 That flush cut saw looks identical to one I bought from a Woodcraft store. It’s been great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Von Posted July 8, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Found a business nearby that is selling their birch plywood remnants (finished on one or two faces.) They make camping trailers and the cutouts are from doors and windows, about 30"x40" or 3"x4". I bought a bunch to make myself a shop cabinet with much needed storage. I also noticed that as I'm using the center of my garage more, the lighting there isn't very good (parked cars didn't really need much light). So I bought another batch of the Utilitech shop lights at Lowes and get started installing them. I'm not sure yet where everything is going to end up, so shooting for consistent lighting, or as close as I can get around the various obstacles. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do a lot of cabinet building with those sizes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Immortan D Posted July 10, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Not yet in the mail, but I've just payed Festool price for a 100-years-old super complicated tool to an absolute stranger that lives in the middle of nowhere 1000 miles from my location. Nothing can go wrong I guess. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
