I was thinking the same thing. Aluminum planes are interesting, but having a little mass feels right on most plane work. I think the same thing with a face plane (A razor 🥴). A little weight makes shaving feel smoother in use.

Good timing. Thanks for the heads up. I also ordered a pair. I currently will need them on a jobsite, then they'll go to be extra hands up at the retirement place.

I love my EZ Lock tools. Night & day difference compared to the old wheels with the tiny screw in the center. Both in the speed of changing cutters & the longevity of the wheels.

Here's a video of this HF chainsaw chain sharpener:

Our local stores still do, but they're usually full of junk. The deals on good stuff seem to remain in their original locations. I've found more of them from this thread in recent months.

Thanks. Posted again over there.

Thanks @Roger.donaldston for pointing me to the correct location. Reposted from elsewhere: Chainsaw chain sharpener on sale for $24.99 until 8/30/26. https://go.harborfreight.com/email/2026/08/e184652-63803/ Awhile back I bought one of these HF chainsaw sharpeners. It's cheesy & feels like...

Looks like a quiet thread, but it's what came up in a quich search. Awhile back I bought a HF chainsaw sharpener. It's cheesy & feels like it's gonna break. So I'm always careful with it. And will probably replace it with something better down the road. But in the meantime it makes fast...

Here it is ^ That one is tempting. I think most angle grinders are 4", but lots of them have the guards removed to run bigger discs. Having your knuckles further away might be a plus. This one says it's reversible. That would be a handy feature to be able to chose which way to throw sparks.

x2. 2 ton seems a little undersized for 1,400 sq ft, at least around here. There are online calculators that factor in your region. Other factors can affect performance. Is the attic vented properly? Ducting all in good shape? Return air duct & plenum in good condition inside? Loose sidewall...

That's true. I am in charge of any in flight snacks. He's not looking at me. His eye is on the road ahead. He's very aware of when we are getting close to home & is prone to do this for the last couple of miles. Most of the ride he's either laying down or watching out the side window. Our...

Back seat has its own vent. And my armpit is not a good source of fresh air.

Fozzie is supposed to be riding in the back. But he likes to stick his nose up front. Doesn't look comfy to me.

Same here. I'm locked in on 20v & 20/60v flexvolt & don't want to add another battery type. Looks like a cool tool for someone who isn't already invested in a battery line.

I grabbed a couple too. One for the retirement place, the other as replacements for the work truck. Thanks!
