Today was one of the most taxing days for me. I walked out of the house and saw Laura's car in the carport and my immediate thought was "Oh, Laura's home", and then reality set in. I had to get rid of Laura's car. I went to a car dealer and was overwhelmed by state of car dealers today. I came...

I got back to the Grove this afternoon. Etta the dog is visibly upset with an "Empty" house. I have so many projects on the books and I should prioritize them but one item that is not really important is calling me. We had planned on sinking a shallow well for irrigation at the raised beds and...

Thank you all so much for all your thoughts, prayers, and wishes. I left Cape May this morning and am currently parked next to an airstrip for the night. I'll get back to the Grove early tomorrow afternoon and see how that goes. My mind is a raging torrent, rivulets of thought cascading into a...

So it has been 2 years since my last post in this thread. I needed a digital break although I have been lurking and keeping up with what’s been going on here on GJ. After my last retirement I was lured back into the workforce by a former employer. I spent a year and a half line boring excavator...

The first HF mailings were 3 legal sized mimeographed sheets of yellow paper that were stapled together in the middle and folded in half.

That made me spit my coffee out laughing. Though 90% on this forum probably don’t get it.

I’ve got well over 100 bins in 3 different sizes and over 40 base plates printed. I figure I have one more week of printing before I start Vid Finity. 22 Vidmar drawers of hardware organization.

I’ve seen less than stellar reviews of these cheap hydraulic crimpers but I needed to do a bunch of 4/0 cables so I gave it a try. For $49 I was pleasantly surprised and call it a winner.

I bought my granite surface plate from Enco during one of their free shipping on anything promos. I sure do miss Enco.

I have 4 Snap On roll cabs and I work daily out of a US General 56 and I can't say enough good about the USG 56, it's a winner. Bonus. There is a 15% of any single item this weekend with no exclusions.

I have had the M12 version for a few years and if it died tomorrow I would immediately get another one. It's quite a bit more saw than it appears to be and the blades hold up well.

I was waiting to see what you were going to do around that box and conduit, that will look great when you get it coated.

SWAG off road makes a table for that tool. My son bought me the table for a gift and I thought I would never use it, but I was wrong. I have not taken the chamfer tool off the table since I got it and I use it a lot.

What gauge is the material you're making all your fixtures and brackets from?

You’re not alone Cam.
