It's only the beginning.

The cynic in me says that these are targeted at people leaving the US and that other shipments that are a normal part of business would be ignored.

Yes, the boxes have "US Customs" on the tape they use to tape the boxes back up. And the containers are prevented from getting on the boats before the $2000 is paid.

Shipping from door to door for a 40 foot high cube was about $18,000. That included loading and unloading, wrapping and unwrapping big things, etc. But we packed most of the small boxes ourselves. ...

I think I have 20 or so now, so I'll have her bring another 20. The inserts aren't available here.

I'm going to have her bring all kinds of things. Shipping things down here directly ranges from...

I don't remember. I looked it up at the time and everyone agreed so that was the number I used. Like I said, it felt too tight because I cracked a couple.

It's possible I suppose that I had some sawdust on the seats. I would have had to be really fine dust, like from a sander. But maybe that was it.

I used an in-lb click wrench from harbor freight. It seemed to get good reviews before.



Ah! Humidity and rust are huge problems here. I had a lot of cleanup to do on the various cast iron...

I kind of doubt it was hot inside the container. We brought over things like candles in some of the boxes. Nothing showed even the slightest sign of exposure to heat. They stack those containers 6...

Two years ago, before moving to Uruguay, I switched my grizzly jointer over to a Shelix cutter head, made two or three test cuts, then put it in the shipping container. It worked perfectly. For the...

The one I saw had huge hardwood guides. like 1.5" square. But I didn't smell diesel anywhere so maybe they're running them dry? I'm not sure.

Without a doubt, the US is still the best place in the world to "get stuff". Things are mostly available here. But they can be difficult to find and expensive. And as things become more unusual,...

lol, I knew that would be the response. I didn't have a camera handy. And until I get to know him better, I think a camera in his shop probably wouldn't be too welcome.

It's been a long time since I've posted. For those of you who don't know me or remember, I moved to Uruguay about 18 months ago. I've been too busy fixing up the farm and building a house to do any...

I've not seen the project you're describing, but I know his dado and brad ways.

The idea is that you want the shelf sitting on the side (not the bottom) of the dado. If you were to use dowels...

iirc, some of the reviews said the motor was way underpowered making it bog down a lot more than you'd expect from a machine that size. I guess you could always swap out the motor for a 5 horse.

I keep trying to cut the holes out of my shirt, but the holes just keep getting bigger. :)

Good decision, they're canceling the orders now.

(i write this sort of software for a living)

It looks to me like they just deleted something from the database. That page has default values on it that are supposed to be replaced with data that...

I bought it. The picture shows the infeed and outfeed table extensions, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't come with them. I'm planning to put it on a cabinet with a melamine top on both sides. Yet...

cmjames over on woodnet posted this a few minutes ago. I picked up the 22-44. Jump on this if you can, these never go on sale.

Not sure about the differences in shipping charges.

I have an 80 gallon compressor. It's the porter cable C7550. And it's about like the one you describe. I recently moved my shop from one garage to another garage about a mile away. I used an open...

They had a delta boss on sale for $145 delivered earlier today. It's over $200 again now. I'm not sure what they're up to. But if you see deals, you have to be ready to buy them that instant. ...

$122 delivered with free shipping. Most other online locations have this for about $270 plus shipping.

It's my...

I have one. It's great. I have a couple minor complaints though. First, dust collection could be better. I haven't really looked, but it's probably the dust chute problem others have mentioned. ...
