I have this set for a couple years and we have about 8 of them at the furniture bank. This is a great price and don't forget to file registration for the lifetime service agreement (that also covers batteries)

Looking at a new Lathe.....
AndrewB posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
So in the last few months purchasing my new band saw and my pressure pot, I've come to the realisation that the HF lathe was going to cause some draw backs to types of projects that I eventually would like to do with a wood lathe. How ever with the most recent covid package passing last night it turns out that it is more than likely coming that I will be getting a new lathe very soon. I was looking at the delta how ever I couldn't find any of the model that you guys have been using. How ever the wen lathe peaked my interest a bit. I've had the old wen lathe of course it worked out quite well as it turned out I bought an older model. Either way the new lathe I'm looking at yes is a wen. Specs 6 amp Motor Work piece sizes 14 inches by 20 inches Variable speeds anywhere from 250 to 3550 RPM REVERSABLE So with these specs in mind yes having a lathe that would be able to spin in reverse will be quite nice. So with the check in coming of course Id have to spend a little bit of my own money with purchasing this but at least a majority of the big costs will be covered. I wont need to buy a bench since I built a nice bench for the harbor freight. I'll just have to modify that bench to fit this lathe. The other bonus on this is I already have the extension for the lathe. I bought that before my old lathe broke down the 12 by 18 inch one. I'm also hoping that this being a newer model will last me a lot longer as well.

Propane Heater for Small Shop Space
AndrewB posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
So I've recently purchased a small propane heater for the winter months. It costed me $72.65 plus state tax but I also added in a bit extra for next day shipping. I did order this from the Home Depot web site. I haven't fully used this as of yet but I got a propane tank out this morning and fired it up to test it out. So far it seems okay I did check for leaks for my sake. I do have a good healthy fear of propane thanks to propane forges and how unsafe they can be with the burners. How ever this seemed like an okay one. for its rating it says its 9000 BTUS I did have it kicked off on low for a couple of minutes to run a test seemed to heat up fairly quickly. You can use a 20 pound propane tank with it how ever if you plan on doing that the recommendations I found on youtube have said TO ORDER THE MR HEATER CONNECTION HOSE. I did dive into a lot of youtube reviews on this small heater before I did buy it. But I think it should do quite nicely for the long cold winter months. I will place the link to this heater and some youtube reviews in this thread as well. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Mr-Heater-9-000-BTU-Radiant-Propane-Portable-Heater-F232000/205527178

So this morning I went over to home depot after paying the bills and picked up a few items to include a 4 and a half foot section of Yellow Birch wood. Just enough to make two bowls out of it which I plan on doing. I set the poplar bowl aside for the moment because it frustrated me it decided to pop off the lathe on me this morning while I was starting to hollow it out so I've got that set aside for now. How ever I took a few of the previous suggestions from thank you @lew and at @Gerald. I did wind up using a bit of sawdust to spread out on the glue between each layer of the blank. Well that solved my slipping wood piece problems. So we shall see how this blank turns out with everything in it. I think I will be doing this more often. Still have to grab more glue from home depot didn't realize I was about out of it.

HD dropping Bosch brand??
smitty10101 posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
Just saw on Y**Tube that HD is (may be) dropping the Bosch brand. Does anyone else have info on this? If so, should we be looking for discounted specials?? -
Was at HD this afternoon for some supplies. I noticed they are clearing out all their Minwax products and have them marked down to about 1/2 price. If you have some favorites, worth a trip. They are converting to Varathane and happen to have some of that marked down about 30% too, at least at for the varnish I was looking at. Here I was wearing my Varathane T-shirt.

I have been using Home Depot's ship-to-store for a few years to get things that no one stocks locally. Not sure how they make money selling me a $3.50 item and package and ship it UPS to the store for me. But they've always had a staffed register right inside the door (and special parking spots for sts). Even though I try to avoid it, Wal*mart has a similar program. I used to hate wasting time for someone to get my package. Last order, there was a giant machine in the front of the store. You enter your order number and a robot picks it up from inside the machine and brings it to the front, or for larger item, unlocks a locker just to one side. Had a trip to Lowe's today and saw some new signs on the entry door. Lo and behold, right inside the door was a staffed booth for online order pickup. The blue vest guy said if it's in the store, they'll pull it and have it sitting there in a little as 20-30 minutes. (about as long as it takes me to get there). If not, they'll ship it to you. Was in Kroger a couple of times recently. They have a huge area, maybe the size of three car garage, for order pick up (I think there's either a charge or a subscription for this.) On a recent trip, I ran across about three pickers going through the store with these orders. And a friend of my wife's does shop and deliver for Meijer (a MI-based grocery and department store) that will pull your order and drive it to your home for $5 or so. I put in an Amazon order yesterday and one of the options is an Amazon "locker" at the local Whole Foods (now a subsidiary) or several other public places. No wonder the malls are going out of business?

I was going thru HD tool section and found this. I could have used this thing many times when I was young. All you do is put it where you need it and pump it up with a common hand operated squeeze bulb. $16 on Amazon. I think you would use shims to achieve the distance you want. I don't know the total distance it moves, but with shims and blocks, I think it would be great
