    A few gloats.

    I've only been at my present school teaching shop since Christmas. In that time a few of my students have become fair turners. The first picture is of a walnut bowl one of them finished last week. It could have been sanded better, but we don't have any good sandpaper left for this school year...

    Tool gloats

    Had a great day yesterday, went to the Liberty Antique show and found some deals on some planes. First is a Bailey #7. I didn't actually find this at the antique show, but at a flea market down the road Bill Clemmons told me about. Talked him down to $35 but he wasn't happy about it. Next...

    Travis and the Three Gloats

    Travis was a woodworker who lived near the mystical forest of Craigslist. Craigslist was a beautiful but treacherous forest however it was also one of the primary sources for gloats which are highly prized by woodworkers. One beautiful day Travis, armed with cash and protected by knowledge and...

    Gloat to end all Gloats

    A few of the members are aware of this already but it it now time to share with everyone. Back in 1999 the sun, moon and stars came together and my wife and I got a deal on a mobile home and lot on Lake Gaston. That was a weekend/vacation place and a future retirement place. Well the interest...

    It took longer than I hoped/expected, but I finally have my new AC installed and the garage door converted to a high lift system. Also, while all this was happening, I acquired a Jessem table system and installed a Jet air filter. Now I am back to working out how I want to arrange everything...

    Belated Gloats, Shop Pics, and Project Pics

    Ok, I'm waaaaayyyyyyy, way behind the times on getting my pics posted. Soo, I'm starting one massive, probably somewhat obnoxious thread to get caught up. I mentioned in my introduction post that my current shop got a serious jumpstart when a friend unfortunatley had to give up woodworking for...

    My birthday and Christmas gloats

    Here is what I got between the 2 days... First, the top item on the list - the Bosch barrel jigsaw: It's awesome! I never understood why someone would pay that much for a jigsaw, until I asked someone to pay that much for a jigsaw. Thanks to many members who contributed to a thread or two...

    Gotta catch up on my gloats!

    Okay, so thanks to all you enablers out there I have acquired a few tools in the 6 months since I joined the site. Do to the work being done on the house I haven't had the time to properly gloat about these purchases. Yesterday I got to put my Festool TS75 to a true test. It is a used saw with a...

    Used A Planer For The First Time Today (Gloats)

    I used some of the funds from selling the fishing lures to buy a "new" planer. I got it from fellow NCWWr Redhawknc1 (Wayne). It looks brand spanking new and it works like a charm. I wish I had waited to start my workbench - it would have been nice on the SYP boards. It is a DeWalt 735 with...

    Two small tool gloats (pic)

    Well I should be posting in 2 different forums but I don't think anyone will mind. I was in Myrtle Beach last week and found the PC stapler in a pawn shop for $35.00, but that wasn't cheap enough for me so I offered him $30 and he said okay. It is brand new in the box and new it sells for...
