Yup, I have seen things go for much more then if they were new but have also seen, and purchased, things for well below cost.
My nearly new craftsman radial arm saw I paid $50.00 for.
I hit one a...

Not really wood working so I'll post it here.
My shop vac has the suction side that the hose goes in and the discharge side that the air comes back out of. On mine you can swap and put the hose on...
VERY nice.
I'm doing something similar for my daughter who just turned 13.

Sounds like some things my kiddo would enjoy LOL

Looks like the b-day party for the kiddos 13th on Saturday and then she wants to go mountain climbing on Sunday.
Should be "fun" as I have never been on this mountain she wants to try, the down side...
I use handheld FRS/GMRS radios. THis allows me to walk around, hop on the atv to the orchard etc and still have contact. Also allows the kiddo to always be in contact when she is around the place.
Got a roof/deck that I need to get covered and made water proof.
It was built and decked with osb and then had rolled graveled roofing put on it. Did not last long as it gets "stuff" from...

I guess that I'm in a little bit different boat then most folks. I do just about everything so to speak.
If I come to your job site (this can be anything from framing a house to finish work) it will...

Yup, or trying to walk through deep sand. No energy at all. I put the cedar away yesterday and have not messed with it. Feeling 100% better today, actualy got some things done both out at a job...
Well I'll be darned. For the last 2 weeks I have been feeling EXACTLY the same way. Go to bed tired, wake up tired, can't find the energy to do anything. Have taken several naps almost everyday as...

From my days of drilling in HARD firearm receivers, "Do Drill"
Just drilling through a steel door frame, granted it is about 45 years old, back when they still made real steel. Only about 1/8" thick.
Had thought about the carbide but like stated in a hand...
Not really wood working but close I guess as it relates to a stick built house.
I'm installing new storm doors. One of them goes in to a metal door frame.
Drilling 1/8" holes in the frame is...
Appreciate the thoughts.
Straw Bale building is a pretty common building practice now days. Have considered that myself but I am pretty much hung up on log.
Thanks
