What's in the mail?

today I got the new battery for my motorcycle, which meant I had to hook up the new charger I received the other day.
Its the exact same size as the original but specs out higher.

New battery meet new charger.

This charger/ maintainer is very cool, can use it on anything. I have it selected for a small motorcycle battery right now so it charges slow. 3 lights on and 3 to go. I will be hard wiring a plug to the battery for the charger.

I've been running a Tru-gel in my bike. Not sure if means anything for a street bike, but 'off roaders' say good things. Wonder if a battery that turns over a 1500cc bike would work on a 17hp Kawasaki mower engine? Either way, batteries have tripled in price since 2004...

This one was $70 shipped. I'll report later on how it holds up. It's an sealed AGM.

Happiness is 6 lights showing a fl charge on the new battery with the new charger.

Also when I came home today there was a box waiting for me.

Who don't like new tools? Lol.

Aquireing more tools for metal work. A very cool metal cutting circular saw.

The blade guard is designed to catch chips, its like a collection cup.

 

[woodtickgreg]

Ordered a metal cutting chop saw to go with the circ saw. I paid ups extra to have it delivered a couple days later on a friday when betty would be home. It never showed. Came home from grocery shopping on Saturday and ups left it at the side door, I have ongoing instructions for packages to be left on the back patio. Grrr. Idiot left a $400 tool out in the open.

And the saw came damaged because it was dropped on the corner! See the box. I ordered the saw from trick tools, their customer service was excellent and they had another one sent to me right away and sent a pick up label for the damaged one.

It has a pull out tray for the chips. This is a 14" carbide blade steel cutting chop saw. It cuts with less sparks and cuts cooler than a fiber disc chop saw. You can get blades for aluminum and stainles steel.

I'll do a review on this in the tool section in case eany of the metal workers out there are interested.

Well I’ve decided that I needed something for hollowing between my Trent Bosch 5/8 set and the big captured rig I got some time ago. Enter the Trent Bosch 3/4 setup— when I’d get to the limit of the 5/8, just had chatter I didn’t want to deal with & not wanting to set up other rig.

Table for the drill press arrived today. MLCS have it on sale for $40 off. Figured hardware would cost me nearly as much as the sale price plus my time to build it so pulled the trigger.

 

[woodtickgreg]

Not woodworking related and didn't come in the mail actually, but I dig it just the same. Betty came home from visiting with her daughter and brought me a lava lamp, lol


Starting to warm up.

Working good now!

Groovy!!!

Now where's my paisley shirt and bell bottom jeans?

 

[ironman123]

Haven't seen a lava lamp for a few decades.
Nice bunch of tools you got there. No excuses now.....get to work @woodtickgreg. You also @Maverick .

I saw these on Amazon for $7 a piece so I figured what the heck ill give em a try for that kind of money. Ill put one in the basement wood shop, one in the garage where I store lumber, and keep one upstairs in the house. They are all within a percentage pointe or 2 on the humidity and the same for temp. Might be fun to watch.

 

[woodtickgreg]

Update. I put one out in the garage and watched the numbers change, humidity went way up as its been very humid and rainy here.

I'd say they work pretty good. I put one in the basement shop, ill check that one later.

 

[woodtickgreg]

This is basement wood shop teml and humidity after a day. Itll be interesting to see what it is mid winter.

You're having fun with those. Can I get the link to them

 

[Nubsnstubs]

Greg, I see a difference of 6% on the hygrometer versus the thermometer. Which one are you gonna go by?? I have had a couple of the thermometers like that before, and they were pretty accurate. Mine didn't have the humidity feature. I wish they had cuz I would like to have seen what the smilie would be for 6% humidity........... Jerry (in Tucson)

 

[woodtickgreg]

Actually the hygrometer was only 2% difference between the three. The 2 that where the closest I am using one in the garage where I store my wood and one in the basement shop.

Gotta love Amazon, Sunday delivery! Some deacon 5 minute epoxy, some black diamond brand tinting powder, and some small mixing cups.

 

[vegas urban lumber]

is the deacon epoxy, of, by or for, 5 minute blessings?

sorry couldn't resist
