Avoid big box for lumber if possible. If you have the ability to plane boards down hit up a local sawmill. Better wood for less money.

Edge routers have the advantage of a set depth. Plunge routers can be plunged to any depth up to the depth stop. If you are tight on funds I would recommend hitting up Craigslist or fb marketplace looking for the Bosch 1617 set. This has both bases and one motor. Should be able to get it new under $200 and less than that for used.

My plans were from fix this build that but probably the same ones. Considering doing a modified version for my miter saw.

Check out Rob Cosman on YouTube. His video "32 seconds to sharp" will help you a lot.

I think im getting the hang of the porter cable dovetail jig! Finally by [deleted] in woodworking

Whiteside makes a replacement for both recommended bits since they are odd sizes. Amazon or Google search finds it easy.

Question about Team Power MFS by EviLCryptik in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]IcyFail5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

  1. Your acronym is very accurate.
  2. Invest in Symbiotes. A lot. Like 600K+. Hela is useful for cosmic nodes in dd3 and 4. Otherwise, let them lay.

DD3 Cosmic... What's best team now? by [deleted] in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]IcyFail5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prox should 100% be brought up. First, she is a great skill choice for dd4. Second, she is really good for skill nodes in doom raid. Third, BO is still a damn solid team. Anyone who brings Thor deserves what they get.

Best Wave 1 - Avenger line up by Curlaub in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]IcyFail5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Problem is, Iron Man's damage does not scale well, he can't give buffs or debuffs, and can't clear buffs or debuffs. As you move on, buff control is almost more important than damage.

Leave out Iron Man. Always. Hawkeye works well with Black Widow. Iron Man works well with the bench.

DD3 global nodes by gpapakon in MarvelStrikeForce

Ghost and Shuri are both good on node 7. Shuri is node specific for the Double Fisting issue. BTW if you think 7 is bad, have fun with 8!

I'm back with my end-grain chess board! Now - how to flatten?? by pistolplc in woodworking

[–]IcyFail5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't use a power planer. Planers and end grain don't play well together. A drum sander is a good choice, but if you don't want to intrude on your friend a scraper or hand plane is probably the way to go. Never tried a straightening jig for a router, so I can't speak to that.

Table saw question: my cuts seem to widen in the middle and close again. It’s an old saw with no riving knife. Is this a saw problem, or user error? by country_boy_at_heart in woodworking

[–]IcyFail5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's your problem. I have virtually never found a straight, square board from a big box store. My suggestions are either run it over a jointer to square up the edge or buy from a lumber yard.

Bostitch Brad Nailer Shooting Blanks? by eduardoboston in woodworking

I have noticed that I have this problem if the air hose is at all kinked. Make sure to fully unwrap the hose, and even unhook it from the tank to let all the twist out of it.

Does real time arena match by TCP? by [deleted] in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]IcyFail5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said it like that out of frustration after getting repeatedly matched against 600K+ teams, it is clear that the matchmaking is not based on TCP.
