thanks! Honestly, not much has happened...work has been taking all my time for the last year.

awwwww... c'mere you.

I saw something like this on here sometime ago...so I changed it up a little and made myself a few. warning unauthorized use of tools by Green Room Graphics, on Flickr

Those are a long way from meeting any kind of US construction code.

It was when I checked (for the version without bells and whistles). Yeah, I tried to buy an educational version but got stopped at the gate. I couple more years and I should have a niece entering college ;-).

They're still making them and I have a Ridgid version that works as part of one of those swapable head/motor kits. I don't think it's a gimmick. It has a very specific window of need (nailing something in a tight space) but it works very well. It also nails soft metal nails (like...

It depends on the boat and the application...but they do have to stand up to a pretty nasty environment with salt water and sand.

Yeah, I guess...I suppose it's when I re-rig a boat that I by 20-30 of them and all the supporting hardware that the cost starts to get to me.

This one is easy - go to the place they sell them and their application engineer will gladly crunch the numbers for you.

I went through this myself...the truth is that there are very few off-the-shelf bandsaws today that have the built-in speed variability for switching between wood and metal. My primary bandsaw use is wood and aluminum (signs) and I ended up buying a 14" Rikon because it has two speeds and gets...

air movement will aid exponentially with the drying. Fans are your friend.

Good lord, those guys need some paint on those walls!

I'm surprised there hasn't yet been a dirty joke regarding the subject title.

I started a wood project on a couple of mahogany quarterboards for a buddy's newly acquired 65' Chris Craft. Learned some video software in the process too (hoping to use some of this style video for our future business). (you want to talk about motivation to keep the shop clean?!)

that ought'a do it! I'm really glad I didn't see your gates before I built mine, I would still be welding scroll work in place. That looks spectacular.

You could also pour a little concrete ledge...but by the time you do all of that, you might as well have hung them on the wall.

why? Because every thief has a 100' crane. That's why! still fun to watch.
