Hi all,

I'd like a bit bigger lathe than what I have. I'm willing to wait until the right deal comes along though. No rusth.

I'd try a local sign company that makes magnetic signs. You might even pick up a sign they made for someone that was a mistake for cheap.

Hi all,

UPS brought my Wynn 35A filter yesterday. Total with shipping $165.79. I will be cutting out a baffel to go inside the unit and likely will make some modification to eliminate or cut back...

Thank you. This is becoming clearer. I can see that each way has it's own features and benefits. And you could start out with either one and go from there without having invested too much.

Please...

Hi all,

I snagged a 2 HP Harbor Freight dust collector that they sold without the bags. I got if for $80.

Last week I ordered the Wynn 35A filter to go on top. It should be here soon.

I...

I'd probably lose a shop cat in that downdraft table, though...[/QUOTE]

Not good. I don't allow my cats in the shop. A...

I have the Bosch as well. I use it in the yard, garage and woodshop. It would charge Bosch batteries and run off of them if I had any. My son hooks up his ipod to it somehow through the AUX feature....

Thanks to both of you. I am expanding my shop and haven't got to the DC yet. But very soon I will.

Cliff, I like the idea of moving tools around on the mini pallets. A nifty idea. Thank you.

Do you have an Ikea store near you?

Hi all,

My name is Mark and I am a tool addict. (This is where you all say "Hi Mark")

I really love tools. I especially like to buy accessories for tools that I have. Sometimes I will find a...

It's a shame that youth is wasted on the young and that retirement is wasted on the old.

I have a 60 CM Specialize Expedition from back around 1985.

Love it!

A friend of mine told me about a fellow that went into the hospital to have a heart valve replaced with one that was manmade (plastic). The mans son came to visit and brought along a friend who was...

Hi all,

You can imagine the "imaginative" jokes that people make about my last name.

I am glad to be associated with such a fine product. One that just about eveyone has some good childhood...

Hi all,

I have been wanting to add a dust collector to my shop for a while now and today I decided to make a trip to HF at lunch to browse. I found a floor model of their popular 2 HP DC. This is...

Hi all,

Another vote for Jet white here. Like most of us my shop has an interesting mix of greens, orange, greys and etc. Whatever was the best deal for what I budgeted to buy the tool.

I keep all of mine too. I look at my tools as an investment and one I wish to protect. I was looking for one of my drills the other day and I could find the case but no sign of the drill it's...

Hi all,

Check your local Re-Store store (Habitat for humanity store) if you have one. I was able to buy a pretty good sized piece of laminate for about $10 and it is a nice light grey color. Just...

Brent,

You'd better keep that hid. I'm just a little to the West of you.

Seriously, nice score. Wow!

Ben,

Nice score. Hmmmm, a tool rescue ranch... The wife seems to take in anything with four feet. Many tools I see have four feet. Hmmmmmm....

Hi all,

I just got the latest issue of Shop Notes Vol 19 Issue 109 and there is a Dust Deputy / Shop Vac combination on a cart that looks pretty tempting to build. I have some time off between...

Hi all,

If you think about it, it's amazing there are any ink and paper magazines to be purchased in this day and age. Since the Pony Express rider was overtaken by the electron we have been...

Yes, I have to agree. These two posts have defined particle board or Ikeawood® pretty well. I guess we should be thankful. If wood waste wasn’t reclaimed and made into manmade lumber, supply and...

Jim,

LOL.

Thank you for getting us started. I think we can have some fun with this.
