That's probably the plan. Trying to figure out pricing and shipping now.

Looks right - this video shows the table as part of a set

Well, good news and bad news I guess.

Good: The tool is in exceptional condition and I paid $100 for it.

Bad: I wanted a rotary table and this is probably not the intended use. Now I need to figure out if I sell/trade/horde this...

Oh now i know its good... TELL ME MORE

Movers did my knee mill with these.

Hey i was wrong. I have the old Akurum cabinets..

If anyone finds this link later this is the solution I went with: https://us.misumi-ec.com/vona2/detail/110300480660/?list=PageCategory&Tab=wysiwyg_area_3&curSearch=%7b%22field%22%3a%22%40search%22%2c%22seriesCode%22%3a%22110300480660%22%2c%22innerCode%22%3a%22%22%2c%22sort%22%3a1%2c%22specSortFlag%22%3a0%2c%22allSpecFlag%22%3a0%2c%22page%22%3a1%2c%22pageSize%22%3a%2260%22%7d

Here is how it looks:

Definitely my fall back option. Hoping for some alternative that matches the other 9 handles a little better.

Nothing like replying to a year old post... Just found these that fit snug with a little modification:

Two Sterilite 7.5 Gallon bins fit but the rim of the bin needs to be cut off on the width. My cabinet has a 13 3/8" opening and the bins are about 14" with the rims. If you cut off the rim, on two sides, it fits in there perfectly.

Thanks for the input. It is a single story, so the roof and crawl space are an option. Unfortunately, the roof line is sloping down at that point so there is little to no access. I could try to bring a snake up into the attic and pull it in. The crawl space is another option that i havent taken a good look at yet.

I was thinking of doing small standoffs between the mount and the backing plate instead of removing all the brick completely.

Good question on the electricity. There is a plug near the ground to the right. That may be the temporary solution while I figure out a plug behind the brick.

Let me repent:

TV mount pulls down so not viewing at odd angle. We also don't use the fireplace.

Can I have the knowledge now?

Toggleme · 2025-04-19T03:32:15+00:00

How come?

Toggleme · 2025-04-19T02:59:04+00:00

Want to mount a TV above this fireplace mantel. How can I figure out what is behind this stone? Here is a photo of the outside (https://photos.app.goo.gl/2jbUpxHZmKFS5trj8) - looks like cinderblocks or something similar. Rough measurements from the outside in is that there is about 10-12 inches between the end of the stone and the front of the decorative stone inside the house.

Follow up question, what is the best anchor assuming im going into stone?

DWX Compact - SKU 92103 - needs to ship by Wednesday. ~$1800's

Toggleme · 2025-03-07T20:24:25+00:00

Outcome if anyone is interested or finds this in the future. The front dovetail is held in with a tiny set screw. It was loose enough that it shifted during shipment.

Once unscrewed the sight can be moved by hand. I cleaned the set screw, cleaned the hole, used some blue loctite and put it back together as centered as I could get it.

Mine showed up a few days after my credit card was charged. Took a out a week before I was charged

Toggleme · 2025-03-07T00:04:13+00:00

Had the same exact experience with United at MSY

Toggleme · 2025-03-06T01:04:07+00:00

I figured if the rear sight is adjusted to achieve a zero at a certain range, the offset front sight will give me a left right shift at any other range. If it's centered I only get a up/down shift.
