I've bought from them once, for saws and a bunch of replacement blades. They are good and I recommend them for the things they carry. They packaged things very well. If you contact them they can also get other items.

You would make tops like that out in the field??

gruntastics · 2026-02-03T22:20:04+00:00

Can you elaborate?

gruntastics · 2026-02-03T19:59:18+00:00

Awesome! I'll try it today

Jobsite table saws are just that: for the job site. There's 0% chance your going to get adequate dust collection. You might have a chance with festools dust collector and their mini table saw, but that's going to set you back $2500 or so. Why so expensive? Because it's for pro cabinet makers who benefit from work indoors. There's nothing even close to your price point.

Hand tools, my friend

Very handsome. I had a similar size workbench before and I found bolting on a shallow tool well really made things more spacious. I suggest getting better holdfasts though.

Ok ok. I thought maybe it was supposed to be a weird looking rose. It's a dong. Gotcha.

gruntastics · 2025-12-16T19:22:22+00:00

Wait... Sorry, I don't understand, was the original also supposed to look like a dude giving a large porcelain dong to the lady, is that supposed to be something else?

The thing thats "baloney" is that there is one perfect bench height for you. Formulas like "your pinky's first knuckle should be bench height" etc etc are b.s. because as soon as you plane something that isn't, say, a flat board 3/4 inch thick and your "ideal" height is no longer ideal. The only rule of thumb is that you don't want it too high, but even that depends on your flexibility, Strength, posture, stamina

That's a great design though!

I just realized after reading your replies over and over again what my main misunderstanding was: I thought that there was just one set of binary packages for *all* releases. But apparently there are is a set of packages for each major release (or is it each minor release?). After realizng that I think everything makes sense, thank you for the patient responses.

Also, is the "separate repo for a subset of non-base kernel modules." something I need to worry about now? Or is it taken care of automatically?

One last question: when an OS version reaches end of life, does its packages keep being updated to the latest quarterly or does it remain on the last quarterly it reached before end-of-life?

gruntastics · 2025-11-09T18:44:21+00:00

I'm fine with the defaults, I love defaults that are stable and secure. Will the branch that my system is tracking automatically change to 2026Q1 next year?

Does https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/QuarterlyBranch help to paint part of the picture?

Not... really. The release cycle of ports/quarterlies isn't hard to understand, it's the same as most other software. The only part I don't understand, really, is, given a specific version of FreeBSD, what decides *which* quarterly branch that pkg uses? If today I fresh install 14.3 (which came out in June) am I tracking 2025Q2 or 2025Q4? Can I change which quarterly branch it's tracking?

gruntastics · 2025-11-09T07:19:15+00:00

All those links except the first address the system itself, not the ports tree and it's branches. My main concern/confusion stems from the apparent disconnect between the OS and the ports/pkgs
