I was in to much of a hurry to clamp the material in a vice and held it down with my hand. well the saw jumped out of what I was cutting and now i have a scare on my hand that looks like a zipper compartment. I learned my lesson though..I always wear my goggle to now. Its all fun and games till someone looses an eye.<br><br>I need a bigger tool box...... ;D

 

I can hook you up with a great deal on a toolbox! &lt;shoots self in head&gt; I hate my job

 

Someday...if ever....if it warms up above freezing, I'll get to try my new Honda powered, CAT pump pressure washer 8). Gonna blast the winter away on and under the vehicles.<br><br>Hmm..I too almost cut my thumb off by a hacksaw. I was grasping the item under the blade when it went thru the stock and started in on my digit. Still have that 40 year old scar.

 

I bought a soldering iron last night. [undecided]

 

I had this feeling you guys were talking about tools over here....ah, tools. used em all last weekend

 

You guys mention tools....hehehehe<br><br>A buddy and me have kind of a unique friendship. We usually split the cost of major tool purchases. Between the 2 of us, we have close to $100k in his 2 car garage. Everything from:<br>Solar 225 mig welder<br>Hypertherm plasma cutter<br>2 sandblasters<br>pipe bender<br>drill press<br>HUGE 80 gal 8 HP air compressor<br>enough hand and air tools to run a dealership service dept.<br>and just about every other specialty tool you could think of<br><br>I don't know of a job that couldn't be done out of &quot;our&quot; shop.<br><br>That is what you call TOOL FETISH ;D

 

Well, haven't bought any new personal tools except those needed for my job BUT gettin' ready to make some sawdust (cedar) building a new deck real soon. Our winter has been so mild, California is enjoying our seasonal rains, the building bug is just about ready to bite. Does a new stainless steel BBQ and a deck cart with drawers and stainless top count as new tools? It certainly keeps the wife happy. She knows that when I BBQ, she doesn't have to cook. Think I'm going to start a new thread about BBQ's and sauces. Get you guys thinking about spring. ;D ;D<br><br>~Dave

Can't wait till I get there, Dave. What's on the menu when I get into town? yummy<br><br>-SFB

 

Well if any of you want to travel to St. Louis, I'm sure that it can be arranged. Also, Gateway International Raceway is only 15 minutes from my house. Be a good spot to test those new mods ;D Just make sure that everyone brings food and beverage. We do work for BEER!

 

It's here! It's here! <br><br>I came into work tonigh and what's sitting by the shop door? My new saw. 8) All 628lbs of mad cutting power. ;D Now I just gotta figure out how to get the cabinet and saw 482lbs out of the back of the truck. ???<br><br>Boy I can't wait till I get this bad boy wired up and running. <br><br>DB

 

hmmmm sounds like a very good reason to buy a cherry picker. around $269. best back savein money you can spend.

 

I know, I know. Invite CTD 359 to your truck unloading party. He could do it all by himself.

 

Hehehe.....me and this fella I know, well, we have kind of a &quot;unique&quot; friendship. I snookered that poor soul into paying for HALF of all the tools I've got out in my 2 car garage!! ;D I've got over a hundred grand worth of tools out there...and that goofball paid for half of it!! Some people are just SO easy!! I guess it's true what they say....there's a sucker born every minute... : <br><br>Anyway, I've got mig welders, plasma cutters, sandblasters, pipe benders, drill presses, air compressors, every hand tool you could possibly think of....you name it! There's not in a job in the world that I couldn't do in my shop!! ;D

 

It's out and sitting on the floor. ;D<br><br>I only unpacked the cabinet and saw, the rest of it is still in the boxes in the polebarn. <br><br>I'm at work tonight and it's killing me not being able to put it together. :'( I went to the Home Depot on my way into work and spent $266 on some Romex wire, and plugs. I forgot how expensive electrical supplies were. : Hopefully I'll have it fired up and running by this time tomorrow. <br><br>DB
