Does anyone have a canvas tent for working outside they can rec? Looking for around 6'x8' ish. Preferably somewhat waterproof for working outside in the PNW if this is possible and maybe not super expensive? I cant keep adjusting beach umbrellas and trying to finish wood in the rain lmao I bought the UVEX mask someone rec'ed here and its pretty great so far. I'm going to have to mod it a little for ear pro but wow is it nice not foggin up glasses. Holy poo poo I was dying.. I took it out of the box.. loving lemon! I cant see poo poo! Go to Amazon reviews and see its half people saying what I said and half people saying take off the protective film. Oops. Literally A Person posted:I buy all my casters at the hab-for-hume restore. Can get some drat nice ones there for like $3 a piece. Big ol' industrial ones too. I get all my casters from restore. Restore rocks tbh the one I used to live by has a ton of solar panel glass for so cheap I wanted to build greenhouses out of Harry Potter on Ice fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Jan 30, 2022 |

TooMuchAbstraction posted:My experience with casters and wheels is that you get what you pay for. Put another way, beware the cheap ones, you'll save money but you'll do a lot more swearing. When I built my tool cart I used Harbor Freight casters trying to save money at the time, they suck and the thing was pretty much immobile because it was harder than hell to get the swivel set to turn. I picked up a better set that should be able to handle a car parked on top of the tool cart from Surplus Center that seem much nicer so far. I also had luck dealing with the guys who clean out old businesses on Craigslist, I picked a dozen decent ones for almost nothing from the guy I bought my Paradigms from.

Harbor Freight doesn't even use Harbor Freight casters on the tool carts and boxes they sell. That should tell you something.

Verman posted:Zero chance it ships but holy poo poo I'm in. So, there was price mistake recently from lowes with those AeroGardens and I only saw one person pick one up (not a goon), rest cancelled. However, not to get your hopes up too much... last Home Depot price mistake I remember was from April of last year: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=2914751&pagenumber=1331&perpage=40&highlight=gladiator#post513833179 It was Gladiator Cabinets for ~$40. Many got cancelled. I got one, they got four, and some others I know got them. They had over 3000 of these Dewalt units ready to ship out I guess... Hopefully it's a sleepy Monday and orders get sent out before they read the email from management

Someone is probably getting fired. The other best deal I've ever received was on hockey sticks from Amazon. Good composite sticks are usually $100-200 each. There was a price error, supposed to be marked down from $150 to $75 but instead they were listed $7.50. I ordered three with prime shipping. Two days later I had three hockey stick size boxes on my porch and $23 charged to my card. I wish I had ordered as many as possible. It's always worth trying.

anyone have any experience w the Kreg accucut saw track? right now i clamp a level to whatever Im cutting but its suboptimal for several reasons. Seems like the accucut is a decent substitute until i can justify a high end track saw. downsides would be poor dust collection and lack of that nifty vertical plunge cut feature. on the other hand $90 isnt super cheap either so maybe it would be better to save that money towards a proper track saw

Verman posted:Mine were picked up and scheduled for delivery. They're on the truck. Hoping for your delivery soon. Mine is being held! Saw this message:   It ends up it was missorted! I contacted them asking about the issue (because please don't ask shipper for instructions; they are not to be trusted.) and they said it should be on schedule to be sent to the destination location tonight. I told them "That's understandable. These things happen. I was calling to tell you to please proceed with the delivery". They said they would note it on the delivery. Hopefully it's delivered. Bondematt posted:I'm at "shipping label created", but the HD orders page no longer shows the tracking #. I've never followed up and asked them if Home Depot re-charged them later.

BeAuMaN posted:People have been receiving cancellation emails, but if your package was already on the truck then things are probably looking good! Hoping there's a delivery. Some people in the past have received refunds for cancelled orders that are ultimately delivered from Home Depot It's now showing as shipped and arriving tomorrow on HD's site too. I never got a cancelation email, so I wonder if they tried to stop it or if the tracking error was unrelated?

Even the Kreg straight edge guide is $50 and its just extruded aluminum with clamps and cut line guides. I'll probably just use a piece of flat metal stock in the meantime

I just use a 72” straight edge I found at lowes on clearance. There also numerous videos on making your own with t track and plywood.

I don't make tons of long cuts with a circular saw, but I have some varying lengths of 1 1/2" x1 1/2" angle iron that I use. If you can find stuff that's 1/8" thick it's fairly light unless it's a piece several feet long. Aluminum even lighter.

I have a long aluminum track for cutting photo mat board when making framed art etc. Its a nice 40" long straight edge with rubber on the bottom so it doesnt slide. I also have a lot of carbon fiber hockey stick shafts missing the blade so they're essentially just 4' straight carbon fiber square stock. Ive cut the broken bits off and use them as straight edges all the time, plus they're super light. I clamp them to whatever Im sawing for a straight edge, but I use the for all kinds of stuff. My rake handle broke .. now its a hockey stick.
