    Internet Speed

    This is on the slow side of normal for us in the Liquor Shop. Fast is around 200-ish, this is a shared FLETS connection for the whole building. In my workshop which is NOT a shared FLETS connection, I see +700 in the late evenings. We do live in downtown Tokyo...

    Plywood Mounted Bathroom Tiles... Not a Good Idea!

    Drywall, even the water resistant stuff is not something I'd use behind tile, concrete board is my go to product. Best of luck with that, I'd rather do plumbing than drywall mud LOL. Sent from my SCV43-u using Tapatalk

    Plywood Mounted Bathroom Tiles... Not a Good Idea!

    Demo work us not fun LOL. This us the vent hose used, smashed almost flat, utterly useless. Most of the tiles are coming off easily, my cordless hammer drill on the hammer only setting with a chisel tip on it takes care of anything else. Getting there. Now to clean up the mess and cut...

    Plywood Mounted Bathroom Tiles... Not a Good Idea!

    Undeliverable

    I ordered these two items March 10th. Amazon told me on March 11th that there was a problem, and that my order was "Undeliverable". I would get a refund in 3-5 days... but ... the tracking info kept coming. Seattle WA to Windsor Locks Connecticut to Robbinsvilke NJ, to Trenton NJ to finally...

    The most difficult project

    That is an interesting piece of work, I'm sure your mum would have loved it. When my dad passed a few years ago I was able to bring a portion of his ashes back to Tokyo with me, I turned an urn for them and they now reside with me in my workshop. I'm very sorry to hear of your mum's passing.

    A Basic Router Sled

    Yep, I was all set to buy one, but the only ones they had at the home-center were the type that use a cord to roll and unroll the shade. Here you can see it at work... Cheers

    Cool story Mike. I've never owned a 4wd, but we used to put tire chains on our 2wd trucks and go just about anywhere on dirt roads LOL Cheers

    A Basic Router Sled

    I made a retractable cover for my slabbing rig. It's a bit of a rube goldberg machine but it works fairly well. I cut a piece of tarp that rolls out as you pull the sled along, the is rolled back up when you move the sled back to the starting point on the right. It uses a weight and some...

    A Basic Router Sled

    I remembered that I have this straight bit that has a top bearing on it, but j can use it to do some slabbing for now. It us 28.5mm or 1-1/8" diameter. With this bit and the 3-1/2 hp router I can easily take a 1/4" deep cuts... :O Amazing! I modified the vacuum hose attachment to fit on...
