Home Depot is offering a 20% off on some DeWALT tools for Fathers Day… I’m not a father… I think. The sale only lasts 4 days - May 22 to May 25, so hurry and make a kid if you don’t have one already! This is the link from the Canadian side, not too sure if there’s one on U.S.A. side too. Here ya go…
Sorry for the silence, been working on site redesign to give it a warm fuzzy feeling, like when you get a new tool and well… like many of my renovation projects: Started and kind of lingers and never gets finished… so decided to put a few hard days to complete. Might still be a few loose nails in the corners so let me know if there are issues.
It’s nice having all these fancy tools but when it comes to cutting angles with them, I’ve been had more then once. This tutorial on woodworking tools and cutting angles is quite informative.
Not all woodworking machinery angle scales are created alike. In fact, there are two different conventions for the calibration of angle scales in common use on woodworking machinery. One type of scale is calibrated to treat a square cut as a 90 degree cut, while the other scale treats a square cut as a 0 degree cut.
It’s spread over 5 pages or so. I’m going to be collecting more of these so if you have some send them on over. Here is the tutorial…
With temperatures that can change 100 degrees in a matter of minutes from cold to hot, forget using the lubricants you use in your favorite drill, it would seriously fail or maybe even explode once you got it into outer space. This little puppy uses dry lubricants, a type of film that keeps the parts moving. I doubt most of us can afford one of these but admit it, it would impress the hell out of the neighbors!!!

… You buy a Incra TS System of a kind. Says for ‘preferential customers’ so just tell them you are. See here…
be sure to check out www.toolmonger.com for tons of greatest and latest posts. Their DealMonger thingy lists great deals such as the DeWalt $12 safety goggles. Tons more of informative and funny-as-hell posts and test videos.
Worried that you won’t be able to continue work on the backyard deck if a flood comes around? Well worry no more, the Stanley HD45 hammer drill will keep on going under or over water. Just not sure if the spouse will appreciate the monster air compression unit bolted to the roof top… or the fact you just blew 3 years worth of the vacation budget ![]()
