    Window trim thickness?

    No flashing tape over the bottom fin, it needs to be able to drain. Tape on sides and top only.

    Window trim thickness?

    You can use this trim with this window, you'll be fine. I would not caulk the trim to window joint, let it drain. No j channel is needed for the siding but you will need to caulk there.

    Miter saw questions

    My go to saw is the DeWalt DW716 12”double bevel ( not a slider). I’ve used compound sliders while working for various employers.They have their place but their weight and price are an issue for me. The 716 is a very capable saw and works well for me. I just picked up a used one in great shape...

    Vintage Dreadnaut floor jack

    Vintage floor jack ready to restore for your garage or shop. No ID tag so I’m not sure of weight rating but this thing is a beast. Pumps up and holds but release mechanism needs repair. Sorry, no shipping, local pick up only. Will consider meeting you part way though.

    plowing with riding mower. yay or nay?

    Have you thought about getting a quote from a snow plowing service? It could be a resonable alternative. We have about 500' of drive and my guy takes less than 10 minutes for $25 a plow. He will also salt if we get ice.

    Anyone build a 2x72 belt grinder?

    Thanks for the Jeremy Schmidt link. I just spent an hour watching some of his videos. I had been thinking about a Polar Bear Forge kit but might have to change my mind. I like the tilt/ horizontal feature on Jeremey's.

    In search of a new socket set, any suggestions

    Thanks for this thread. I just took a look at the Tekton site . I've been thinking about getting a 1/4" set for a while and their 1/4"/3/8" combo looks great and is reasonably priced.Should work just fine for me.

    Welding Table design

    I hear ya Tinner. I’m a carpenter/ woodworker and I have a table with holes on a grid that I use a lot for various clamping applications. I can see this small welding table being used for woodworking also.
