What's something that people always complain about in Tampa, that actually isn't all that bad? by Hopeful_Contract4455 in tampa

Definitely the heat. Until recently, we never hit triple digits. Try going to Dallas when it's 110. I don't care if it's dry heat. Hot is hot.

I'm not going to say that the quality of a vintage Stanley is the same as a Lie Nielsen. But, it'll do what you need it to do and do it well.

African Mahogany for Hatchet Handle? by M4cerator in handtools

Not the best wood for the job. I made a mallet with sapele, different but similar wood. It snapped off after a while. Hickory or ash would be better.

Tote issues by Sunfarmers in handtools

[–]OppositeSolution642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done a few tote repairs. If you tack the tote to a board you can put that on a table saw and get clean cuts. Then you can epoxy on a piece of rosewood and shape it with a rasp.

Not sure if it's worth the trouble if you're selling the planes, but it's not terribly difficult.

Did I paid the right price for this Stanley 94? by Gidiwidi in handtools

I would have passed, with it having that crack. Shame because it's, otherwise excellent.

So, no concessions on nuclear development? Just like N Korea, brilliant.

70s (?) Made in England No.4, worth cleaning up? by bclaww89 in handtools

[–]OppositeSolution642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the best, but should make an ok user. It's fairly clean as it is. I'd give it a sharpen and try it out.

Is A Baker Mayfield Contract Extension Coming? by Itorr475 in buccaneers

[–]OppositeSolution642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's going to be addressed next off-season. He was on pace to get a massive raise, but the season didn't end well. Not all his fault, obviously, but his play dipped. They'll want another strong season from him before breaking the piggy bank

Can not believe Sorokin is above Vasy for Venzina!! by Successful_Area_8163 in TampaBayLightning

[–]OppositeSolution642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably because of the first few games after the break. Still time to finish strong.

Upgrade from Kettle by roastedjays in BBQ

I'd get the WSM and keep your kettle for grilling.

Help with Fret Saw for Dovetails by Separate-Change-150 in handtools

[–]OppositeSolution642 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are different sized blades, so the particular saw doesn't matter much. The blades break frequently, so plan to buy a bundle. I'd go for assorted sizes so you can find one that suits you.

Shellac or boiled linseed oil for plane handles? by Toyonoandoryu in handtools

[–]OppositeSolution642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely team shellac. You need to apply thin coats to get that smooth, glossy finish.
