OK, Father's day is this weekend, and we are busy with a bunch of stuff, I knew that everyone would be busy, so I took it on myself to reduce the stress the my wife and kids would have, and got myself a grab bag of goodies
I'm such a nice guy
In making these toothpick holders, I've found that the forstner bits that I have, don't leave a nice smooth hole, so I bought some of the carbide tipped ones from Rockler........... (I also got a bit extender!)
..... they do leave a much nicer, smoother hole
I also got a thin parting tool, I've been using a handmade one, that used an old thick hacksaw blade, and it just does not work well, so it was time to buy a real one.
I got some of these universal fence clamps, I think these will work well!
Here is something that I have wanted for a long while, the Xtreme Xtension has gotten great marks, from what I've read, and it will make my router table that much easier to use.
This one, was an "Impulse" buy
I saw this, and for $25, yep $25, I got this 40t combo blade for my table saw, and one thing I REALLY like about this blade...........
Yep, NOT made in China, nothing against China, just nice to see some stuff made elsewhere is all.
Anyone have any experience with these blades?
Well, that will be my Father's Day present to myself, like I said, I do this to help out my lovely wife and kids, reduce their stress level............... (that is my story, and I'm sticking to it )
