    Gloat????

    Went to the FVWWC meeting here in Illinois and a member was selling off some wooden planes he no longer was using. I got these for $10. each. Both need sharpening, the shoulder plane will also be a good model for the wooden plane I am making.

    My progress report and gloat

    I too have been making progress on my new shop. It is still a loooooong way from done. The gloat part is this. While I spent the weekend working at the Klingspor Show my BIL, wife's cousin (CIL), in the picture below, shingled the roof. The tractor in the pics belongs to a neighbor. He was...

    Wood Gloat

    I'm sure everybody who attended the Klingspors Extravaganza at Hickory Friday and Saturday saw the truck and trailer load of Jatoba lumber parked out front. I purchased 10 boards for $10.00 and was quite happy with y deal. At the end of he show I made several trps to my truck to take my display...

    Tool Gloat

    While I was overseas I ordered a McNaughton Core Saver Kit, and when I was got home it was here waiting on me. Nice piece of kit, but the instructions are a bit lacking. Here's a pic to prove it.

    Shop Gloat

    About a year ago, I started pinging my wife that we were running short of space. I was using my side of the garage bay to do WW and our "office" was piling up with inventory for her business. We defined the parameters we wanted for a new house and kept our eyes open. One was a house in our...

    I have GOT to gloat!!!!

    I occasionally look at Craigs list for NC & SC, looking for scroll saws. Most of the time I only look at ads that specify Hegner or Hawk saws, or the price listed makes me think that it's likely to be either of these. Well, there was a listing from 10/14 about a scroll saw for a couple of...

    A small gloat

    I was perusing Craigslist yesterday when I came across an ad for some desk drawer units. By the time our emails crossed paths, most of the units advertised had been spoken for. I decided to take the trip up to Raleigh today anyway and check out what was left. I came home with the this pile of...

    HEAVY Gloat!

    I have been thinking about replacing my drill press with a combination Milling/Drilling machine. I have just completed assembling the new machine which came in on Friday. This machine is not anywhere the quality of the Swedish made drill press it will replace, but I feel its accuracy will be...

    My first Hammer! (GLOAT)

    My new Hammer A3 31 jointer/planer combo arrived Friday, and I unpacked it Saturday morning. I am glad I got the mobility kit, because I was able to make a ramp and roll it off of the pallet all by my lonesome! I did quite a bit of research and was leaning towards the Jet combo until I got a...

    Getting Closer & Toolbox Gloat

    Getting closer to having a shop again! A few weeks ago we epoxy coated the shop floor. Last week we installed 8 220v outlets for the tools. And today I picked up this FREE toolbox (thanks to my uncle who's a mechanic). Hopefully this week I can get a few tools moved over! View image in...

    New tool gloat (non-woodworking)

    I was just in the right place at the right time and scored this gas grill for FREE. I spent a few bucks on a few missing pieces for the igniter, some missing screws and sheet steel for making a new drip pan. It works great!! Stainless steel burners are in great shape. My old grill was way past dead.

    Stickley chair gloat

    I found this the other day for $150. It is a L & JG Stickley rocker circa 1912-1920. Unfortunately it has been refinished, I am however still so happy to have a piece of Stickley Arts&Crafts / Mission style furniture on my poor man's budget. This is the type of furniture that inspired me to...

Durham HD accepted the HF 20% off ticket (no manager required) and I hope that I can use the Ridgid 20% rebate as well :eusa_pray. I'm not sure when I'll have time to actually get it out of the box but...

    jointer & caster gloat

    View image in gallery View image in gallery The Ridgid jointer is my large gloat. the casters under it and the bandsaw are my small gloats. The cast iron surfaces on the jointer are like a mirror. They put my Delta equipment to shame. The casters came from Rockler #58866 $34.98/set of 4...
