Trabant posted:I watched a guy on YouTube modify an angle grinder (or really its guard) into a power file, then looked up what commercial products are out there because a grinder's guard seems like an ill-advised choice for a mounting point. $50 bucks for that electric hand injury? I woulda gone for it at $20 just for the hell of it

The hackzall and geared loppers are the right answers. But if it's a tree you're concerned about damaging with power tools a hand pruning saw is a good option. Something like this: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Fiskars-Powertooth-18-in-Pruning-Saw/1001460064 With a good curve on the blade will get through a branch very quickly. If it's a large or long branch make a small relief cut from the bottom before cutting from the top in order to avoid it falling off under its own weight and splintering.

I'd bolt, screw, or rivet an anti tip bracket to it. Maybe someone else knows of a tool chest specific one. https://www.google.com/search?q=anti+tip+bracket

I know nothing about plows or snow blowers, but (if you have a truck) why not get a truck mounted plow?

Honestly when I saw those plans I had to hold myself back from building one immediately. I just can't fit another work surface in my shop. You two should take a look at this video. The host goes over some of the drawbacks of a bench built without solid joints. It made me consider doing some actual joinery when I build a workbench. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CwIX6jE-qA

I have the lovely brackets and I believe that they'd be safe if I bothered to add a gusset or a crossbrace or anything. As it is they have yet to fail

So my friend had to lie on the ground and log roll himself over the grass to gently bend it down. In an orchard where they fertilized using jugs of their own urine and encouraged wasp hives for pollination.

I'm looking to get a standing drill press. Is there a thread consensus on what's best? I have no particular requirements for it, but it does get used for wood, steel sheet and steel tube. My old benchtop has a laser crosshair which was nice. Prefer $500 or less, so based on prices I'm tempted to go with harbor freight. But if there's some amazing machine out there I'm happy to hear about it.

Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, this video may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-MC_ZEXQbw Evaporust is highly recommended. I've used sandpaper, steel wool, electrolysis and rust reformer primer depending on what I was working on.

Yeah, may as well get a palm nailer right now. They're cheap, at least pneumatic ones are, and pretty much indispensable for getting nails into tight spots.

 I bought this a year ago from HF and they didn't have staples in stock. I've bought and returned a couple different types that didn't fit. Can anyone link the exact product that will work in this?

What is this plastic piece of junk that came with the cheap soldering iron I just bought? I'm about to throw it out but I thought I should check first. It doesn't fit the set screw that holds the tip in and I can't see a use for it. Anyone know?
