Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I use a belt sander with great results. Just takes a magic touch

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yup, a belt sander will do the trick. I don't have that touch.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That is very true. Must have been a regional promotion or a dealer's own "conversion"

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Wife and I went up to look at some property in the other Larry’s part of the state today and got caught in a traffic jam. Many folks don’t know we have a pretty good elk herd in Arkansas.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Put a rabbet cut on the shelf backer and started on the shelving for the kitchen . I also bought two palm routers I went for a couple of new bits . But $37 on clearance from $139 I had to . Not sure why lowes clearanced the newer model . I bought the last two they had in the store

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
My Bosch is a little older. It's a really handy little tool. So easy to handle. I did have it mess me up once but not stay set for depth. The lever spins to tighten once released and it just wasn't tight enough to hold. That's one thing the plunge router will never do

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Watched 4 guys install my 24x41x11 truckport. Took them roughly 6 hours start to finish. Wish I would have went another foot wider but it works. Now all of my trucks are under cover and I don't have to park any in the main shop area any longer. Time to get the blazer spread out again so I can get the metal work finished up

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
New Frued forstner bits came in yesterday. Used them today wish I hadn’t waited so long to buy a real quality set . Used the 2 inch bit today on the drill press at 900 rpm cut the hard maple like it was butter. Making a spice rack

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Plumbers use those also to drill studs, I'm sure those are a higher quality but same principal.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Tim I considered that several times but this deal, installed was only $6500. I don't think I could have done a roof for that, not having to pay someone labor as well. The other being I can easily move this if needed.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I was using a set from Lowe’s I believe it’s porter cable . They work but like you said they are more for rough work than making items .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Those are nice. I put one in the kitchen many years ago after replacing the whole cabinet floor. There is a mat on top of that like Weatherguard mats for a car, with curled up edges to catch any water (slow leaks). Guess I'll go and check all my cabinet supplies for seepage today.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I got the rainy day discount and bought this little 1959 VW cheap for parts. It runs and drives surprisingly very well. Click the key and it fires right up. It's a lot of fun to drive and is registered until 2025. I almost hate to part it out but my orange bug could use the motor and trans. I have a set of rims and tires and could scratch up some rear fenders and a tarp...Hmmm.
