    14" Rigid band saw at Direct Tools (Mebane) for $260 today

    Direct Tools has a $75 off on $220 that ends today. The Rigid 14" is on sale for $320, minus $75 = $265 with tax. If you have the Groupon, it ends up costing only $220 (including the $30 cost of the Groupon). I know it is an import, but from what I have read it is good after: - adding a...

    Tried a coring tool today

    Nate brought his McNaughton coring tool over and we played. First two blanks I picked was dry silver maple. Big mistake, it doesn't work well with dry wood. One came right off the chuck, and you could hear both pieces crack. Never heard wood crack just sitting there. So I chucked up some...

    A friend has several acres of hardwood and invited me to come get some BW. He has a lot of standing BW and I brought back more than a Walmart bag of nuts which I will enjoy eating. I also brought back a log that has been on the ground for more than 15 years. The wood is solid. The log is 10' 5"...

    Went to the JunkYard Today

    Yesterday on CL was a power washer for $15. Replied to ad, and it was my former neighbor. He has been sick since January (most likely Lyme Disease.) He told me to just come and get power washer for free. I did, and just as he stated, the engine bogged down when pulling the pump. (The engine is a...
