I managed to get a seemingly well maintained, working, Elu MF177 router today for £15. The old guy I got it from just seemed giddy that someone was interested in it. Edit: Apparently this is the same thing as a DeWalt DW625.

Through Sunday DTO has 40% off on most things PLUS Free shipping with coupon code JANFREESHIP Sadly, they still haven't discounted the Finish Nailer that Slugworth has previously been pining for. They are adamant that it will only be discounted 22%. As usual, do a sanity check on a deal before you pull the trigger by checking price history at https://darn.tools/ or asking here/checking slickdeals.

Pro tip: Justify your tool purchases by helping your wife remove jewelry with them. Snap ring pliers are magical for removing captive beads from ear rings.

Here’s a nifty tool I just learned about :   I had always used a tap and die to “repair” damaged threads but it turns out that they don’t really repair the threads, they just cut and remove any damage, leaving a weaker thread behind. Thread chasers like these will correct damaged threads, returning any bent or malformed threads to their original position. I had gotten the metric set for working on cars and restoring any damaged fasteners but I think I’m gonna get the SAE set too .. it’s quite satisfying to transform a stiff, crunchy fastener into a nut you can spin on with a flick of your fingers I grabbed the Lang set because made in USA and they supply these to the tool trucks but I’m sure the less expensive thread chaser sets work fine as well

I see folks in videos using big rolls of brown paper to cover work surfaces before gluing. What sort of place would sell this stuff?

Lowes Depot has it in the painting section with the tarps and drop cloths. Your local ace/whatever should have it too. As will your local Sherwin Williams.

H110Hawk posted:Butcher paper is the search term. Red rosin paper or Kraft paper (paper made using the kraft process which makes a stronger paper) are the better terms if you want brown paper. Butcher paper is white, and sometimes but not always waxed and usually not as stiff/strong as brown kraft paper, tho butcher paper is I think a bleached kraft paper usually.

Did Harbor Freight just divide by zero? I don't think I've seen a 6 gallon pancake paired with a quiet motor. Hot drat. 2.7CFM too. https://www.harborfreight.com/6-gal...utm_content=ntt

I use paper grocery bags for smaller glue ups, particularly the ones that I tear and can't reuse for their properties of being bags

Oh I also got a cheap partial case of some sheets of paper listed as packing material. Idk what that costs normally but they're like 3x4 feet and a bajillion in a box E. Something like this CommonShore fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Feb 3, 2024 |

I bought a 800' roll of newsprint from an office supply store and that does a great job, it is much thinner than craft paper though, so it sometimes get torn when I move clamps around on it, but not too big of a deal. I also use it as a backdrop for when I take my finished, nice photos of completed projects.

My glueing table has a formica top and nothing sticks to it except epoxy. So if you have a runoff table or something you can cover in formica that's great. My local countertop place let me dumpster dive and I got two sheets of chipped laminate and a big chunk of particleboard/laminate countertop that had the backsplash broken off for a 6 pack of beer.

I also use my tablesaw for some gluing, as it's dead flat so I know my assembly won't be twisted/warped if it lays flat on the saw during glue-up.

My greatest shame is I don't have a flat work surface. I bust out two wobbly DIY saw horses and a big piece of warped plywood and pretend I am making good wood things.

Just squat on the garage floor like a woodshop Gollum. It's the biggest, flattest bench in the house!

Any suggestions on hardware storage containers? I need a bunch of containers for screws that have a lid to keep dust out and screws in, be stackable for transport, large-ish (4"x5"x5"+? A bit larger than a quart), and also easily accessible/openable with one hand. I don't want a box/tray with a bunch of little trays inside it, just individual boxes that work together. I think AkroBins with lids would work, but I'm not sure if the lids really snap close securely or how well they stack with the lids on:

Philosophically, for hardware small parts storage, decent lidded bins plus shelved rack is my favorite solution. Eg, these stanley parts bins have held up to being filled with screws and whatnot in my experience. I went whole hog on the packout equivalent during holiday sales since I had a bunch from a previous holiday sale. Buncha those plus a rack is my favorite for small parts storage, since I tend to grab things and take them to where in working on something. Stupid expensive example: https://plumbingvans.com/product/parts-organizer-tower-6-dewalt-milwaukee-bins/ DIY example:  For electronics components, I really like the small Akro-Mils drawers. For frequent use stuff in a shop, I think the ones you linked plus a rack is probably best imho.

The thing I don't like about those stanley/packout parts bins is that the lid takes up a ton of space on a bench and I need to store alot more screws than that. Like several different ~5# boxes of 1000 screws of several different sizes . I probably should get a parts bin and keep it stocked for working out of the shop as an easy 'grab this and know you have a handful of every screw size' and not lug around entire boxes of screws tho, and then how well whatever boxes I wind up with for the shop stack doesn't matter so much. Is the little rack those Akrobins clip on easily DIY-able? I need some narrow flat storage for sandpaper as well but they don't make a great container size for that.
