Sears to sell Craftsman to Stanley/B&D

I had a chance to visit Highland Woodworking while in Atlanta last week. I can easily recommend them to anyone here as a nice place to visit if in Atlanta.

First Nailer?

The pins are invisible. Most important rule: keep your non-trigger hand at least one fastener length away from the action, otherwise *bad* things can happen. Rex FMB wrote: > I'm looking for advice on what nailer(s) I should consider for my shop (aka > garage).

Corian fabrication

Hint: find out who fabricates it in your area, and pay them a visit. You can usually find one by stopping in a custom kitchen place and asking. They'll probably give you all kinds of cutoffs, and since it costs about $10 per sq ft, it's nice to get it free.

Replacement lenses for old glasses frames.

A visit to optician and they spotted a fault in the frame* - I confess I had assumed it was my fault. The style was LARGE lenses.

whole shop of power tools

Around here, Craigslist isn't very popular - another similar web site rules - Kijiji .. same idea though, I just posted 4 shop machines 10" table saw, 10" RAS, 3-wheel 16" bandsaw and a combo belt+disk sander all for $ 400. Old, well used stuff but working.

Powermatic Cabinet Saw

Installed all new bearings in it last year, costed about $50 for arbor & motor bearings at a local bearing shop. Picked up a Beismeyer on their closeout web site for $200. I now have a $775 Powermatic that I wouldn't trade for the world. -- John, in Minnesota

Very Noisy Gutter

By "outlet", I meant where the gutter dumps into the downspout. Yes, way up there. Tom
