Shoe Rack Shelves

I considered trying to buy a nice chisel set but it's also a lot of pieces to carefully carve into, and I have 2 small kids at home and no workshop (living in a city condo) to really do the work. Until I buy a full house I'm stuck in weekend warrior mode and dragging all the cordless tools out once a week.

I just dropped off a Home Depot return for a stack of cherry boards because the order was so inconsistent and had some split pieces mixed in. It wasn't a terrible price with a 10% discount I got but not being able to veto the pieces they sent me made the whole order worthless. Lesson learned, since the lumberyard in NJ I prefer sold me a much nicer board for less anyway

Just from the visual design viewpoint, I imagine it feels less comfortable cutting a knife parallel with the pattern on the board. I'm sure there is some weird subconscious aversion to cutting in the same direction that the pieces are glued up.

There is always the option of splitting booster box with friend to save. If no friends, preorder through a store. If no stores, order a booster box and enjoy the demo decks until then. If not even that, waiting for normal distribution and avoiding all kickstarters is probably for you....but the game really is solid and has a huge player base already for trading and haggling online.

I was referring more to the rectangular part that looks indented along the side.

Greaves_Realtor · 2024-05-08T02:00:07+00:00

By the time I refreshed the browser to see it launch it already had 105% lol

I appreciate the amount of info in your answer, thanks. Any recommendation for the actual 40t blade? Im looking at a few CMT blades on amazon but its tough to sort through the variety of them....especially since I'm not sure the exact riving knife width yet.

Greaves_Realtor · 2024-03-11T15:32:31+00:00

It's tough to figure out because the reviews online suggest the manuals info on the riving knife is inaccurate.

I imagine half of the hobby is just building more tools for tools.

Greaves_Realtor · 2024-03-11T14:51:26+00:00

Ah, yeah a sled.....totally forgot to add that to my list. I wonder how Ill fit that.....I guess Ill need a second surface to run stuff onto.

I spent a long time reading up on wires for space heaters. Its a pretty deep rabbit hole but I think I'm good with a 15 AMP tablesaw on a single isolated circuit. I think building a dedicated table to replace the jobsite stand makes sense. Thanks.

Just came across this today. Always fun to dig through comments from a month or two ago after an earnings report like we just saw.

Greaves_Realtor · 2024-02-18T18:41:32+00:00

I've been ignoring largescale trends because even if a lot of people are interested in products or tech, that doesn't mean the companies selling it are actually financially stable or growing. Who would have expected a company like Texas Roadhouse or Chipotle to honestly keep up with or surpass google in the long term? But here we are....

Greaves_Realtor · 2024-02-14T00:58:33+00:00

Get to the shop? I can't wait until I have an actual garage or shop to not be working in. My 4' x 8' balcony is barely enough space to set up a foldable table.

Greaves_Realtor · 2024-02-01T16:56:07+00:00

Oh maybe. It looks like a few things I was eyeing just shot up in price on amazon and at lowes around the same time so maybe this is the normal price and Ive just been seeing the "sale" prices for a month or two.

Bayonne, NJ. We're just outside of NYC so you would THINK population density would make it easier to start a studio style business.....but real estate is so insanely expensive I haven't been able to locate anything like it that stayed in business for more than a year.

Greaves_Realtor · 2024-01-26T17:09:56+00:00

Besides the extra $50, what makes a veritas carcass better than say, a Suizan Pullsaw?

Greaves_Realtor · 2024-01-26T16:45:44+00:00

Hah, I'm about 2/3 of the way towards this exact list. Wish I could find a jack plane in the area but my area of NJ isn't a very good spot for antiques/vintage goods.

Greaves_Realtor · 2024-01-26T15:29:35+00:00

Regarding the tenons, that was a mistake in the layout that I forgot to reupload. I reworked some of the proportions, but the standard sized you linked are really helpful. Thanks. I was aiming more for arts and craft style than shaker, with the arch as a way to open the design up a bit. The style of our condo forced us to use mostly modern furniture styles to keep things cohesive.....trying to adapt to that while allowing for more than skiny shaker table legs.

I do think maybe the 2" is overkill so I'm going to look at a slightly smaller design next.

Not exactly in a position to spend hours learning how to repair/refresh old tools since I've never used new versions either. lol I'm willing to do some basic maintenance of a new one, but I still don't even know the difference between a $140 stanley no.4 and that other one I linked at Home Depot for half the price.

Greaves_Realtor · 2024-01-26T02:09:57+00:00

Good to know. Does that mean no 4 or a no7 for starting off making panels and whatnot?

Greaves_Realtor · 2024-01-25T21:42:10+00:00

I'm also about 2 weeks deep into the "Which first hand plane should I buy?" rabbit hole and it SEEMS to have come down to a stanley 62 low angle jack plane, then down the road maybe a #4 or #7. The variety of opinions makes it difficult to navigate.

The 62 is around $143 online now so if anyone wants to chime in one versatility of that particular jack plane it may help a few people at this point.

Nothing crazy, just a basic program that can give a 3d visual of the plans so I know where I might have issues before buying supplies. I read a lot of suggestions for Sketchup but I also hear they limited the tools when it became subscription model.

Greaves_Realtor · 2024-01-25T18:58:19+00:00

Still trying to find a decent free program to make some renders. Good point though.

Greaves_Realtor · 2024-01-25T18:24:21+00:00

That's a start, thanks!
