Tatuaje La Verite Vintage 2009 Split

[mrtr33]

See, this is a great thread too, because there's gobs of people that don't give a shit about this split, and they're not reading it, thus they don't even know I'm post whoring!

Come'on everybody!

Cool.

[mrtr33]

Wow. I thought that would have bumped my posts per day up, but it didn't

Fascinating.

Still nothing. Hey, I am in need of a new cordless drill with hammer drill capabilities - you guys have a recommendation? I was leaning towards the DeWalt and trying to find a "gently used" one on craigslist or Ebay.

No.

I think Bosch makes some nice stuff.

Why chordless for a hammer drill?

Cause I'd use the cordlessness of it much more often than the hammer drillness of it but would still want the occasional hammer drillness.

Still no cigars.

I really like Makita myself for chordless

I hear Hitachi makes some nice stuff too.

(darn, I should have split that up into two posts)

Ryobi is good and inexpensive.

[mrtr33]

I have some Ryobi stuff - I like it. I am not a fan of cordless anything. The inconvenience of needing to be plugged in, for me, is offset by the annoyance of a rechargeable battery.

Chicago makes some great stuff, too.

I've also found out (the hard way!) that while you can go cheap on drills, planers and table saws, you CANNOT go cheapie on band saws. I've tried the Delta and the Skil saw, and they both terrify me. Then again, I got spoiled learning how to use those tools with industry-grade machines.

Oh lordy. You're not talking about "Chicago" that you can get at Harbor Freight? I had a chorded hammer drill from them (my dad got me for some reason) that lasted about 1 job before the guts grenaded in it.

I like rechargeable. I like chorded too. There's a time and a place for both.

The one and the same. I've never used a hammer drill, but I have a saw from there - I'll see if I can find it - and it was perfect. Smooth cuts every time, never any problem. Maybe it's a cheap piece of shit, but it's one of my favorites for cutting.

ETA:



Miter saw. I'm the worst with tool names.

Amateur hour is fascinating. Let me know when you all would like some edumacation in post-whoring.

[mrtr33]

Come to think of it, I did have one problem with it - that little bag wasn't working right, so that came off almost immediately. I have a few other tools where there's a bag to catch sawdust, but I'd just as soon rip them off, as they either are faulty engineering and don't do what you need them to, or just get in the way. The only sawdust bag that works in my garage is for this table saw that I have.

Yeah, those bags are pretty much a joke. I have a cardboard box under my table saw. Works good.

When I can, anymore, I sand / plane / joint etc. outside so I don't have to give a shit about the dust.

Sawdust works well in a compost pile.....unless it is from "treated" wood.

Now for something completely different, where are the cigars this thread is about?

I have a chop saw, I think it's a craftsman.

shoulda made that three separate posts. You're slipping.

Buzz is smoking our cigars. This probably is his triumphant scam.

My miter / chop saw is some no-name thing from wifey's dad. Works good. It'd be nicer if it was a compound miter.

What kind of power drill do you guys use? I use a cheapie Black & Decker I bought years ago - it does the trick, but it's failed me on a few jobs where either precision really counted, or I couldn't afford to have the bit slip (mine doesn't tighten with a chuck). My dad has a great old-school chuck tightening drill with a frame, so that you can use it as a drill press if you need to. Too bad he's now 2300 miles away.

This thread was about cigars?

[buzz]

Still no cigars (except for these surprise Tats that arrived last week that I've been smoking).

I have a Craftsman corded drill that I use every now and then, but I find the cordless to be more convenient and the one I usually reach for.

I also need to get a new belt sander.
