I think you will find some threads on this. I'm just an enthusiastic hobbyist so rarely store more than a hundred of anything (except when I get a good deal on a McFeely's clearance or the like). I have standardized over the years on four main storage sizes. When it comes to screws, washers...

Another VLC guy. Another benefit is that you can use it on Windows and unix so you can have a common look and feel across OS.

Wait . . . 29 again!?! Have a good one.

We all have our favorites. I used the Veritas PM-11 plane iron / cap iron pairs for my two Millers Falls No. 4 equivalents. I see they are offering the Hock branded stuff now so I am not sure where the previous stuff fits in. They have always been helpful and knowledgeable when I have called...

Holey freakin' Terminator.

Hahaha. They use a felt pen to mark your hand and then the finger to be cut. First the check in nurse does it, then the surgical nurse re-marks it and your wrist, then the doctor actually initials your wrist to prove that he checked the for the correct side and finger. I took some alcohol to...

The arc presents a narrower focus of the cutting edge. I find the holders a little awkward but they were certainly helpful.

Trigger finger fix. All went well.

Nothing much to show for the last few days of effort. . . I go in for a minor surgical procedure to my hand tomorrow so I was glad to get the base color coat applied, at least. The recovery period will give the finish a good long time to cure :D

And so it begins . . . First coat. Second coat.

I understand your concern :). The front, bottom, and back are rabbeted into the sides. The front-to-bottom and back-to-bottom joint is a butt joint and arguably weaker than a rabbet. These are designed to simply corral products, not transport them from hither to yon. I have made similar "trays"...

OK, that didn't take long. The mini-bot glue bottle really allows you to put small amounts of glue where you want them. I ended up using a planing stop, a couple of bench blades, and some tape-wrapped scraps left over from something in order to clamp things. . I used some 23 gauge pins along...

I'm sticking this under General Woodworking since it is pretty general in nature. I am taking up the time between big steps of my current project to make LOML happy. Part of a recent remodel is an increased size for the pantry. She wanted some corrals or organizers for the many random things...

Agree with Wayne. No problems here . . . BUT . . . I can say from experience that you want to use the recommended connectors and tools in the recommended way to avoid future problems. As with so many things, shortcuts or "hacks" do not yield optimal results.

Time to mix up my witch's brew for cherry. The first thing I do before starting to mix up high VOC materials is to put about 4 inches of water in a pail with a lid. I also don a respirator and open the doors :rolleyes: The pail is for the discard of anything that has the oil based finish on...
