Ody I am with you on the not paying, but I am a cheapskate. So I just say it is on the list of projects. Then the list gets shuffled around for priorities, you know, like company coming, the justification for new tool purchase or what ever spirit moves me. And of course I will deny saying...

Damn, I was afraid you were going to say that. The reason I asked, I saw the Sortimo system, including the Sortimo racks, on a Youtube by one of the guys from Mythbusters. They appeared to be exactly what I have been looking for. The system is spectacular, but after researching and pricing...

I have been following along and taking notes. First the wiremold, then the channel for air lines, unistrut for shelves all are brilliant ideas. Now ya gotta explain this cabinet. the one with pull out storage bins. I presume the top is a cabinet with Akro type back with hanging bins, But what...

Ody It is great to see you give that Mustard Monster a work out. They sure are nice. I would love to upgrade my old PM 90 one of these days. More pictures as you finish up the project please.

Thomas and Chris After reading about the elevator concepts and the neccesary reach, the height of the basement ceiling begn niggling at me. Since you are still in the planning stages, you might want to re-think an eight foot clear ceiling. We had a nine foot clear ceiling in our Atlanta house...

It must be that time of year, Texfest was at Jaimies in Austin Yesterday A few pictures on that other site. Hope all is well!

Jim I too am an old tool guy mostly 50 -60s but a couple older walker turner tools, and lots of hand tools. In a lot of ways I think we are kindred spirits. I am working out of a one car garage and some of my wife's 2 car when I can get away with it. I have basically been a tool and wood...

Jim As a fellow woodworker I understand your response, kinda! In woodworking there is a huge range of opportunity for the use of innovative tools, techniques and machinery to improve the output of our efforts. We have gone from saws and router planes to routers, hand saw to table saws, and I...

Yup My thoughts exactly or contact M&G up near Huntsville and see if they will do it for you!

Sorry I am late to the sewing machine thread but here is my contribution!

Chris and Thomas We made a quick strafing run through Illinois (Dwight and Morton Grove) a couple weeks ago to see the moms. Unfortunately we did not have time to make a run through the Center of the Universe. Conflicts on either end of the trip here in Texas kept us confined on time. Hope...

I think I have finally caught Thomas in a fib, OK it could be considered a gramatical flourish, but in over 350 pages he has never been "caught up". Projects finnished - yup with great style Activities completed - yup with style and grace Company attended too - yup with friendlinees and grace...

Blades can be sharpened, if they are decent blades to start with. And a great source for blades and stuff for machinery is Bobby at Woodworkers Tool Works http://www.woodworkerstoolworks.com/services/index.php

Don Looks like it was a great party, in a fabulous setting! Happy Birthday my friend!!!!

They have lifted most of the destruction ban for government surplus brass over a year ago. The destruction ban very negatively impacted law enforcement, since most law enforcement purchased commercially reloaded ammo. And the commercial re-loaders purchased government surplus brass. On...

Just today I was wondering how you were coming on the build. With all you have going on, It is amazing you make progress on al these fronts.

Re: The Concrete Underground Glossary Nope If you want three or four threads it would be OK by me. Thanks for the terms, every industry has it's own unique language, and it helps to understand them. Thanks again!

Nope, parent company is Newell Rubbermaid! They have been good in replacing the missing little yellow pads for clamps. Not a fan for lots of reasons, but their customer service has been decent!

5 gallon Plastic bucket dump in the wrenches, sockets then pliers and screw drivers, you can probably get a full roller cabinet in one bucket! And they sit on Festool Systainers with great style!
