Heh - so I only have a 1/2 blade for now so at least a 3/4 would def help. I’m actually not sure if my old craftsman can take anything larger though. Really doesn’t look like a 1 inch will work. Haven’t heard of a point support either. I’ll have to look that up for sure. Sent from my iPhone...

Got all the drawers installed, at least all the ones I have slides for. The plans I used for this called for using shelf pin holes and euro screws to mount the drawer slides. I actually like this method a lot as it makes lining up the slides a breeze. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Got to spend some quality time today in the garage. Had to rework one of the systainer drawers as it’s fit was a little too tight. Also made 8 more drawers. Hopefully I can get them all mounted tomorrow. The drawers were all made from 1/2 inch sandply from the local big box. I actually like the...

Working on making drawers today. Pretty sure it’s time to retire this old router bit [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

So in theory the robotic arms are pretty sweet. Lots of saved space without the slider bars, similar to the Bosch but about $100 cheaper. That said, I actually don’t like it that much lol. It has just a smidge of slop in it that you cannot correct. It’s even worse when chopping out at full...

Now that is cool. Got me thinking [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal
