Problem sourcing 2" flexible hosae
This is the problem to have, I guess. I need a hose about 50 feet long and about 2” diameter. That part’s easy. The hard part is (A) it’s gotta be very flexible (think Pool Vacuum hose) and (B) it can not be made from regrinds because it’ll be flexing 24-7 and pool hoses are made from regrinds these days and they all break after a few days. I can get food-grade virgin plastic hoses, but they are nowhere near as flexible as I need. I can get flat cloth and rubber hoses bu

Education

Stanley No.49 Auger Bit Depth Gauge
John Morris posted a gallery image in Hand Tools,
I set it to an inch deep and drilled multiple holes in poplar, nice and clean, and the same depth, it just takes a little practice to see when it hits, because you really can't feel it hit.-

Lt Cameron Kerr
John Morris posted a gallery image in Patriot Woodworker's in Action,
On February 16, 23-year-old U.S. Army Lieutenant Cameron Kerr of Stow, Ohio ran to help an Afghan National Army soldier who had just stepped on a small IED (improvised explosive device). On his way, he trod on a larger IED, which exploded on impact.
The Afghan soldier sustained a broken foot, but Kerr was more severely wounded, resulting in amputation of his left foot and lower leg, and severe lacerations and burns to his left arm. Four days later, he was recovering at the U.S. Army's Walter Reed Medical Center near Washington, D.C.
Seen here Lt. Kerr is holding a Patriot Woodworker challenge coin display.-
