Sorry Eric, I got stupid and thought Kevin asked the question. But, you can go ahead and read my answer. It won't hurt.


Kevin, and Eric, 3/8" made on my lathe using the Veritas dowel maker tool. You might have to chuck them up and do a small bit of sanding for them to fit into the holes you drill across those cracks in the blanks I sent you. You should get the Kreg drill bit with the pilot hole point. when you get, you're just about ready to start that piece of Eucalyptus. don;'t start without me.......... Jerry

Jerry,

That is a pretty slick system and I could see invesitng in that in the future once I get a better work bench. And yes, I keep walking past that Eucalyptus, I'll have to make time to give you a call about the MDF board thing first.

I looked out of the shop door this afternoon and their were three mail trucks at my mail box. Right off the bat it crossed my mind that maybe I was receiving an errant order of turning tools or maybe a large stimulus check. Ended up I got nothing other than junk mail. After I took this photo a fourth truck pulled up. They started swapping mail and packages between trucks.

Now, normally, I'd post pics of a new tool that came in the mail today, but this being the times they are, here's what I'm happy to get in the mail today. Sigh.

Glad to see you went with the professional series. Who knows what you might have received otherwise. :gotmywood:

Yeah, I haven't open it yet but I'm figuring professional grade is probably about 280 grit instead of 100 grit like the cheap stuff. :smile:
 
Got a few things in the mail today. Some ca activator, and an Olson bandsaw blade. I figured of try the Olson out, it was cheap enough. 3/8 4tpi.
20200421_172324.webp For christmas Betty got me supercross tickets. But with the corona virus thing the races where cancelled. She got a credit for full price that she paid so she told me to get something else instead. So I chose this little dewalt router combo. It came today.
Christmas in April!
20200421_173313.webp itll be great for those times when you dont want to balance a full size router.
It has gotten good reviews.

No toilet paper here, lol.
 
I've been waiting almost 2 weeks for this to come from Rockler. It goes on the end of a dust collector hose so its easier to move from machine to machine. It fits the hose fine, but way too big for the machine flanges, I'm going to have to see if there is an adapter or make one.
I do like the handle though.
