Rearranged some stuff. Flung a few things. Moved a customer sander from the metalshop to the woodshop to prep for bringing the dead Journey inside. Damn!! I have a few customers I would like to run through a sander... what Grit do you use? ;)

yep!.. that is actually what those kaji characters in the red box say ;) you will notice the saw is beefy powerful and has an unusual blade arbour that will allow you to mount blades much thicker than standard... it is to allow groove cutters or dado type blades to be mounted and run.. you will...

the reason I knew they were power hacksaw blades is because I have a few myself :) they make excellent knives for leatherwork, particularly what is known as a skiving knife- whick is used to cut wide bevel or taper on the edge of a piece of leather. I have several that I have used for over 20...

Very nice!That is just an awesome little home lathe. congratulations on the progress. Did you end up picking up that Woden vise?

Thanks ! That was my thought too, but I have never seen one quite like it and a quick google search did not turn anything up.

WOW! nice score :)

you did a very good job with that video, it makes it much easier to understand what you are working with.

x2!! this is one of those tools that you only really appreciate owning after you have used it, hardened blade, hammer striking surface, does not gouge aluminum like a chisel , etc.. The link above pops open a nag informing me about BOSCH and something to do with privacy compliance.... weird

X5B all day! have had 3 pairs for at least 15 years and they are my go to. the soft top strap lets you get the position on your ears perfect so that you can wear them all day without the tops of your ears being pushed down by the weight of thew muffs or our head being viced by a top band that is...

back in the day of hard wired door openers LOTS of remotes did not roll codes, and lots of people still have those units. either way a remote for my dusk collector makes sense, for my compressor? not so much... I would still need to remember to turn it off at the end of day. I have my compressor...
