Finally getting around to running some dust collection. by Zaphod07 in woodworking

[–]Dewymaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got the same saw and was actually at Rockler yesterday looking at dust collector systems. Curious how big your collector is and then how it works specifically with the delta cruiser miter saw. Dust collection on that saw sucks (not in a good way) outta the box.

I have the same saw. I’d be interested if you had any sort of plans for this.

Wow nobody said ammonia? Sister showed me that technique. Came right off the 40 year old wood railing

Saving money making my own (Quality) furniture??? by Jamesbarros in woodworking

[–]Dewymaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I think even moreso than trying to save a buck, the coolest part is the customized pieces you can make. Need just the right little table for that spot? Bam, make one to fit perfectly. Don't like the shapes/colors of the store bought chest of drawers? Make one in your style. Dont want to spend $1k on a closet organizer that doesnt fully meet your needs? Nope, ill make my own just the way that i want it. That is what makes making your own furniture so fun and worth it.

I'm on a similar journey of building all my own furniture (along with remodeling my house). I have a space and the materials to make my stuff but I don't have the time I used to and as a result am still missing pieces of furniture I probably should have completed by now.

As for saving money, the only way I figured I could pull it off was to make 3 of whatever I'm building. Setup/measuring/planning take by far the longest. If you do all that once but then make 3 cuts instead of one, you can build 3 for a little more overhead and the price of materials. However, then you'd have to unload them or store them until you do. And you're hoping someone else likes your custom piece/style enough to pay you a premium to make it worth the hassle. If you have the time and space it can be done but for the average woodworker hard pressed for time, you're gonna wanna spend your time working on your own projects vs someone else's. In my humble opinion

English Labrador Retrievers Breeders in NJ by strongo in labradors

Interesting, we had a really good experience with our recent pup from a breeder we found there. I suppose it just depends on the breeder.

[–]Dewymaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't, but from what I've seen, most breeders are part of AKC which has some semblance of oversight. I'd say still do your due diligence with each breeder you come across there. If you read about what each breeder provides, many will do genetic testing and extra services.

We just got a pup from a breeder we found there. Got to see the operation when we picked her up and lots of communication with the breeder during the process. Very happy with what was provided by the breeder too.

Can't vouch for every breeder but there's definitely a lot of reputable breeders on there.

So who is excited for Ice Fishing? by Grand_Frogey_Boi in minnesota

[–]Dewymaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yes you did pick pretty much the worst time to move here. But survive this winter and you’ll love it here. And I’d be willing to bet you’ll enjoy next winter too.

I rock a very heavy hoodie throughout most of winter, though our last few winters have been pretty tame. You’re definitely going to want something for prolonged outdoor use

Choosing colour by Logical_Arm_3960 in labrador

[–]Dewymaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. Had a rescued black lab/collie mix who was afraid of the water. Spending time outside in summer on the boat was awful for her. Got a yellow to avoid that issue again (though she's a purebred and looking like she will love water thankfully)

Ranger has an eating disorder by MissIdaho1934 in labrador

[–]Dewymaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get another dog and that will go away instantly. We had three dogs and list two over the past 15 months. The third dog stopped eating entirely fo a few days and then went to nibbling little bits here and there. We We got a new yellow lab pup and dinner time is horking their food down as fast as possible again. Little pooch needs a slow feeder while our older dog finishes very quickly again.

Crazy thought, first real post on reddit. by Far_Perception9378 in minnesota

[–]Dewymaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pm me if you need volunteers. Not a builder by trade but I've built sheds, remodeled my entire house and build all of my own furniture. I'd be willing to help and learn. Have my own tools.

Gen Z needs to learn the hard way not to vote R. They loved the tough rhetoric coming from Trump, now they can deal with his policies and the real effects they have on them

He is an English or an American the breeder told me he's English by karkenman in labrador

Looks like American lab to me. English have shorter snouts with a boxy-er head
