    Anyone order from Amazon Overseas Lately

    Order summary for something that was delivered on 9/15/25. Order summary for the exact same item delivered on 5/5/24. Both orders came from Australia. On the latest order, item price went up (as expected), shipping cost went down. Doesn't look like any tariff was added.

    Borrowing Tools

    I borrow to my son and he borrows from me. That's it. I borrowed tools to friends long ago; never again. One "friend" had a borrowed tool so long that when I asked for it back, he got pissed and thought it was his.

    School me on pallet racking

    Using 2 x 6 from Menards it came to just under $40.00 for a 8' long shelf for me. Adds up in a hurry when having 3-4 levels per rack.

    Home Depot grumble

    I don't buy or build them either. I have and use a set that my father built back in the 50's. I'll snap a pic shortly.

    Putting tractor on a 2-post lift?

    Well, therein lies the bigger problem. Flipping the tractor over to get it on the lift could prove to be difficult. :willy_nil :unsure: ;)

    LS STARRETT CO (and not a vise)

    When I attended trade school we called them "Last Time" indicators. The first time you'd use one was probably the last time you'd use one. By time everyone graduated, most had replaced it with an Interapid or a B&S.

    I think I want a tool cutter grinder?

    You won't be able to purchase a lot of end mills for what these went for. There were about ten No. 2's that went for $2.00/3.00 each. I got one and thought that since it was so cheap, I'd bid on other things. So, I got a Monoset as well. Didn't really want it, but I thought what the heck. The...

    How would one learn CNC software?

    If you want to learn G code for a mill or lathe, go to your local machine shop that has CNC machines. Ask if they have any old manuals for their machines. More than likely they will be for a Fanuc control, but G code is the same for any control. If they haven't already thrown them away, they're...

    How would you dig a long, shallow trench along a fence?

    Don't know if I'm on the same page as the OP, but what I've done to create a mow strip along a fence was to use the tiller attachment for my Stihl Kombi. Broke up the ground with the tiller and easily shoveled it out. A good dose of Preen a couple of times during the year keeps the grass/weeds...
