  1. I think I have mentioned that my brother saved the redwood siding from the mid-century ranch-style house they took down to build their new house. I have been ripping it into various widths and planing a portion of it into interior paneling for my sister in law's tack rooms. It has been a hassle using a Jet bench top planer that the contractor bought because the smaller Dewalt he borrowed for me was inadequate. The samples I planed in my shop flew through the Hammer and came out beautifully. With the Jet, I'm pushing and pulling and frequently having to flip the stupid switch between two speeds that trips to neutral regularly. The other pain has been the two-sided "helical" blades because the stock ones were practically pot metal and lasted only a couple of hours per side even though redwood is quite soft. We got some Jet carbide replacements that are much better, although I think I have already chipped 5-6 of them and not on nails as far as I can tell. Still, from green or white or gray painted 70-80 year old boards are looking good and will make for beautiful if rustic paneling. I took the pics of finished boards before I was done yesterday. After adding up the boards in various lengths and in widths from 4" to 11", I realized that I have planed over 1000 linear feet of boards.

  2. They are on the list. Seeing a lot of reviews of the Kobalt quiet compressor as well, which comes with a longer warranty, but may not be built as well to begin with.

  3. Look into California Air for the compressor. They’re very quiet.

  4. Blue Lines (2012 Mix/Master) Massive Attack 1991 https://album.link/i/715864097 Example: Moving forward a few years. Now, I don't know if I ever listened to an entire Massive Attack album. I will be doing more of it from now on. It was way more diverse than I was expecting. I knew Unfinished Symphony and a few tracks from other albums. But I think my life would have been better if I would have known more about them in the 90s. I enjoyed this listen, partially because it sounded good, and also it challenged me from time to time. And then stupid HEOS started to play the Unleash the Archers album (above) again, without being prompted. But I am listening to Britteny sing to me while typing this and I am happy, so I cannot get too mad.

  5. Happy to see that you finally bought yourself a Makita tool. Now you're a playa.

  6. Looking to set the record for largest, most expensive reel connected to the tiniest most shitty air compressor. I know the air compressor is not connected yet, for those people assuming I did it wrong.

  7. There are BOMs in the thread, but I've attached one here. There are alternate parts for some items, so check it over before you place an order. You can oftentimes save money by buying in quantity, particularly the SMD resistors (100 isn't unreasonable). The pricing in this isn't accurate as well. Read thru the thread regarding cases (or search). ssdynalo-v1-4.xlsx

  8. On a new job today. Today is all about delicately removing these door trim plinths and base moldings in the hallway. I can't find this trim to patch in the kitchen, so I'm removing it in the hall, to patch the kitchen with. It's 200 years old and brittle as all he'll! I'll put similar but new molding in the hall.

  10. True, but the current through R5-6 is DC only, there is no signal through them. That's what I meant.
