I love the mantle and cabinets. The various strips make for a nice cabinet face. Do you mind my asking what finish you used for the cabinet doors, and how you applied it?

Hmm, wonder if they're bringing back the 72" they had a few years ago. Was about $1200, I think?

Agree. Festool.:thumbup::thumbup:

It's a Kreg jig. You can get the "master" system with all the bells and whistles at Lowes for $139. It's a great little tool, built all my shop cabinets, drawers, etc, with it. Strong and easy joints, and very easy to setup...

Perhaps activated charcoal to help with absorbing the odor, too? Not sure how much you might need though.

Yes, not only well designed, but very well made!

Whatever you do, avoid MDF if this will get ANY water. It will swell up real quick, look like ****, and get moldy.

Is there anyway to verify the condition of the batteries? My old Ni-Cad batteries like these would lose their ability to charge over time. I'd be cautious, because if the batteries aren't great, its a lot of money to replace them.

The other to be mindful of is that Home Depot regularly clearances out the Husky boxes. It seems like they change the design every year or so, and dump the old boxes. That being said, I've got a Husky box I got on clearance, and the HF box, and the HF is WAY better. The Husky box I have is...

Thanks, I was actually just about to buy a 4" hole saw. Went hog wild I bought the 27 piece set for $125. I'm a sucker for a deal.

Thanks, Avi8or, I just ordered one myself! Found a 10% coupon, so I got it for the same price you did. I will be picking it up in store on Saturday. What accessories, if any, do you think are worth picking up from Lowes? Any deals jump out at you?

I agree. Vacuuming after the fact lets much more fine dust escape and coat EVERYTHING, including all the equipment too far from those two small vacs. If the vacs are stationary, why doesn't he just run some small dust collection hoses to the tools themselves? Seems like a bit of a waste of...

Any feedback on the 1/2" drive impact sockets?

Any feedback on the blades? I've got the M12 oscillating tool, but want a source for cheaper blades. HF any good?

I'd avoid these gloves; I think they're cr@p. Rip way too easy. There are some 'heavy' duty gloves at HF that are a bit better, they are a darker color blue.
