Seemed like a sloppy fit. And what's with the "benchtop planner'? I've got a planer, but the planner is ME! John Report

I always buy equal amounts of nails with heads on opposite sides...saves confusion; It does get a little more expensive when you have to buy the North & South headed nails though Must be because of that whole magnetic North thing Report
May 28, 20188 yr comment_150368 I still have a few of the nails with the heads on the bottom that I used for putting up a ceiling. Report
May 28, 20188 yr comment_150372 I still use the square nails, they hold better,and for floors the ones with the barbs good for eliminating squeaks and can be used for fishing in a pinch. Herb Report

May 29, 20188 yr comment_150428 I friend just got a dowel machine from another friend who got it when a lumberyard went out of business 20+ years ago. It's pretty cool. Blades are sort of a flattened "U" shape in different radii. Feed the square stock in from one end and the blades rotate via a motor, cutting off the outside and hand feed from there. Need to be careful as a third friend got some 2nd degree abrasion burns when it started spinning the square stock he was feeding. IIRC it was made in Nova Scotia. There's a couple of commercial dowel mfrs here in town, but they don't offer tours. One bought McFeeley's a couple of years ago. Sometimes I think Woodpeckers is trying to be the red jig and hand tool equivalent of Festool. I don't understand the economics of "one time tools" that need engineering, design,testing, prototyping, patents, machine set up, and promotion for a limited run.

Nope, me either except much high end user cost & profit directed specifically to a minority of "must have" collector/owners...end result, minimal inventory on a shelf. GM only made limited run of this year's Indy 500 Pace Car Corvettes too, but they pretty much sold them out. Commanded a premium price; limited market, but that market is willing to pay the price. Woodpeckers has some cool stuff and appears to be high quality but with their price point, they limit who will buy. Report
