    A recommendation for conspiracists/people who understand things the rest of us don't

    Late to this thread but the lack of critical thinking is the major part of the dumbing down of humans. No longer do people feel they need to think or figure anything out on their own, it's all on their phone. Why do you think people lose their minds when they lose their phone, because they...

    Combined Flu ***

    I'll just add a couple of points to this meandering thread. 1. It's pretty telling what comes up on Vulcan's YouTube feed 2. I trust my Doctors, you know, the people who actually study the body, medicine, etc,, over a bunch of YouTube randos who are pushing conspiracies.

    mortise chisel for cordless drill

    I think you may be talking about a square metal broach for a hammer drill, those are real

    mortise chisel for cordless drill

    No, The hammer in hammer drill is for the bit NOT the chisel. It would be just as useless, only louder.

    mortise chisel for cordless drill

    Total and utter nonsense My mortiser has a 28" long solid steel handle for pushing the chisel through the wood. It's just not going to happen with a handheld drill with a little bracket on it. A fool and his money are soon parted

    Standard woodworking glues

    I suggest that some of you visit the Titebond website and see what's there. https://www.titebond.com/all/glues There's no need to use TB3 on anything other than outdoor applications. Original TB is strong enough for just about anything that won't get wet. They make dark TB for darker species...

    A wooden bandsaw ... scary ...

    Maybe you should ask how many members think building their own machinery from wood is something they're interested in perusing. You don't have to be a hobbyist to build your own shop tools/machines. I've built router tables and plenty of other things but they are things that aren't available in...

    Tool collecting addiction

    So you're a collector, nothing wrong with that. Just don't let it drive you or others too crazy

    A wooden bandsaw ... scary ...

    Not arguing, it's just my opinion. If this is the type of thing you find to be fun, that's great. Oh wait, I'm repeating myself but you guys don't seem to listen. There are many reasons, which I won't get into, why we no longer make these machines from wood. Whether or not you make it yourself...

    A wooden bandsaw ... scary ...

    Did I not say, time equals money? Most people can't devote a couple of weeks or a month of time to something like this. He is a content creator, he does this to get clicks, it's his job. This is not a practical build, it is frivolous as I said. Just for fun, have at it. I personally don't get...

    A wooden bandsaw ... scary ...

    If we all had the time to peruse frivolous projects I truly don't understand the point of these types of videos, MW in particular. Of course it's possible, I don't need to see it to understand it can be done. I think it's a well established fact that most anything made from metal can be made...

    Tool collecting addiction

    If you have bought tools with the purpose of just having that tool with no intent to use it, you're a collector. If you continue to purchase tools as the need arises (me) then you're not afflicted. Simply having lots of tools does not necessarily mean you have a problem. It's how/why you bought...

    Haggling on price - is it the done thing?

    This is why I dislike haggling. If I'm selling something, I come up with a price and well, that's the price. If I wanted to get less, I would have priced it less. I find the seller to be a bit dishonest when they ask for X but are willing to accept X-y. It sends the message that you're not...

    Haggling on price - is it the done thing?

    I absolutely despise haggling but if I have to do it, I will

    Sharpening

    I bought my first CBN wheel in 2012, probably the best turning related tool I have ever purchased. Now they are more widely available but I'm very happy with the brand I chose, as it's 1.5 wide, which make it good for other cutting edges than just turning gouges. Now I find out they have...

    Is this getting a bit out of hand? - RSV jabs

    There is a big difference between asking questions and dismissing that which has already been answered. Horse de-wormer is scientifically not going to address a virus like SARS-CoV-2, yet people swore by it. Also anecdotal stories about who got the *** and who got sick are misleading at best. I...

    Is this getting a bit out of hand? - RSV jabs

    The only thing this thread has shown me is that, some people are incredibly gullible and still more suffer from "the illusion of explanatory depth" I'm not a doctor and 15 or even 20 minutes Googling to find a medical story that supports my position won't make me one. You want to take your ***...
