  1. Rumor is that it'll jump over $5.00 a gallon here.
  2. So I've used this tool a lot in the last few days, and it's awesome! One big bonus that I hadn't even thought of is as a sheetrock saw. I had to cut out a large portion of a wall, to insulate for sound deadening, and the semi round blade cut through the sheetrock like butter. It was easy to follow my guide lines, and very little dust to clean up. Was great for cutting out around switches and power outlets too. It also has worked great for cutting back base trim in place, cutting off the excess of door shims, and even cutting through 1/2" plywood. I see a lot of uses for this little tool. Finally, something at Harbor Freight that I can hardily recommend!
  3. Congrat Alex! You'll be a great Uncle!
  4. All I really need Jacob is a good view of the end that attaches to the knife, and the tab (if you will) of the knife that slides into the handle. I think I like the look of the octagonal best.
  5. Actually I liked Plil Collins' first two solo albums (Face Value & Hello, I Must Be Going). Some of those songs are good. Then he decided that sap sells, and turned into the White Lionel Ritchie.
  6. I need to buy one of these to disect how it's built. Dr. Wood may need Jacob to help me pick out a good knife, as mine are crap. I think I can tackle the handle part though.
  7. All the more reason we need to put power behind a 'real' qualified reviewer. Tyll is that man!
  8. Nice snag on the Oppo Al! Being a very satisfied BDP-83 ownwer, I know you'll be very happy with it. Those Gallos look sweet as hell too!

    Congrat! They are indeed an awesome headphone.
  10. Has anyone actually ever seen the two of them in the same place? Just sayin'.
  11. The slot panel is more for enclosing the sides/back, but you could buy thin veneer plywood to do the same. I kind of like the open look. I would opt for shelves made from cabinet grade Baltic Birch ply, and would glue up 1 1/2" shelves, but 1" would be plenty sufficient. The edges of Baltic Birch finish up quite nicely, and it accentuates the industrial look of the T-Slot IMO. There are ebay sellers of T-Slot aluminum as well, and I wonder if a group buy might help offset some of the cost?
  12. I've wanted to build a T-Slot rack for a few years now, but haven't found a reasonable source for the materials yet. Looks like a cool program though.
  13. I generally fall asleep about 2-3 minutes after my head hits the pillow. Luckily I've never had any problems with insomnia. And I'm glad to report that after getting back to my own bed, my trips to get up to pee are back to my usual one per night, instead of four @ MOA II.
  14. I've been wanting to buy a multi tool for a while now. The top player is the Fein Multi Master, starting at $190. Next is the Rockwell @ $175, then there's the Dremel at $90. Not being one to waste money on cheap tools, I was expecting to buy the Fein. However, after talking to a sub-contractor recently, who owns the Fein...He told me that one of his guys bought the Harbor Freight Chicago multi tool, and that it's every bit as good as the Fein. The Dremel is absolute crap, and no surprise there, but the Chicago tool is only $59.00. So today I bought one, and for $9.99 bought the 2 year warranty as well. Just take it back for an exchange if anything goes wrong. Haven't yet used it, but I'll keep you posted if it is indeed a bargain at $110.00 less than the Fein. BTW the blades are a fraction of the Feins as well.
  15. Happy Birthday Colin!!! Now go get laid!
  16. Thanks guys! Had a great dinner, and in true old man fashion I'll be in bed by 10:00.
  17. It sounds better if you own stock in Pfizer.
