    Any Festool owners?

    Drop that Festool on its side and try and cut a 45 to the left on a small piece of wood. The rail gets in way of field of view.

    Any Festool owners?

    Yes, rails out the front a problem every time you try and make a cut, rails out the back, only a problem when you set it up, make sure it will extend , screw it doan then it's never ever a problem again.

    Any Festool owners?

    I really dislike the makita. With the rails out front it is really hard to properly see the cut on the left side. And I'm a carpenter that uses a saw all day long. Our boss replaced our dewalt with a makita, it's new and shinny and sits in the trailer now. Not one of our carpenters who tried the...

    Finishes that work for mixed material items

    Perfect, it's a product I've never seen before in Canada. I'd still lean towards a urethane or hybrid as lacquers even if they say brush able usually are not.

    Finishes that work for mixed material items

    Is that a craft product ? I get Leary on none professional finishes as they sell the craft market a lot of cheap bogus products. Has anyone used this on art pieces with longevity results?

    Finishes that work for mixed material items

    When I have pieces with crevasse, I thin down my product and brush crevices then spray. And yes melamine hybrids work on all those materials when properly prepped. And you can brush crevices.

    O'Donnell Sharpening Jig - which one?

    I bet it is the 6 inch model if you are having angle issues. Looks like you need a chart above grinder to tell you the actual setting you need to achieve the common angles after you do your trial and error adjustments. But as you probably know, the angle diff between say 45 and 43 is not that...

    O'Donnell Sharpening Jig - which one?

    Here is a manual and a page to set it up with each dif size wheel. 6,7 and 8. I suppose a riser block under unit to get it to centre of wheel will allow you to use on any size wheel. Then when you have set up. Cut some small pieces of wood at each angle and see if they match your jig angles. If...

    Purple meths

    In Canada if you get pulled over and tested, all you have to say is I was down a mountain road and ran out of gas and was stranded so put a few jerry cans of red gas in to get me back out and home. Perfectly legal now!

    Difficulty finding a slotted stubby screwdriver with 10mm x 1.6mm blade

    Hey I love your picture, Lon's. I had one of those in my Apple tree last night in front yard. Just as big. Broke a huge 6 inch round main branch by just pulling it down with a paw. To lazy to climb tree.
