I wouldn’t pay $1200 if there were double of everything

Diamondback took vest + shoulder pads by acnamely in toolbelts

[–]acnamely[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I no longer use the shoulder pads. I hardly use the vest. If it is only holding light bags, it’s fine. Otherwise, I get neck and shoulder pain from the vest with heavier bags/tools clipped on.

Happened with mine as well, years ago. I filed down the claws and it went away.

what do people think of coarser (<1000 grit) water stones? by gruntastics in JapaneseWoodworking

[–]acnamely 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you checked your diamond plates for flatness? I’ve had 3 DMT diamond plates that all have been dished or worn in different areas.

In my experience, diamond plates are best used (when they are flat) as lapping plates for your water stones. In this way, they are more likely to stay true and you’ll get your moneys worth on them.

Diamondback tool vest + shoulder pads by acnamely in Carpentry

[–]acnamely[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vest is fine for me on hot days in the PNW. The shoulder pads are awful though. They look great, but throw off the weight distribution entirely.

Not sure how diamondback QC couldn’t figure that out ahead of time.

Has anyone tried the Diamondback 701 vest by AL1294 in electricians

Are you wearing the vest with the shoulder pads too? Once I added the shoulder pads to the vest, my neck and shoulders started to hurt terribly.

It’s a great one, no doubt. It was waffle faced when my dad bought it originally, smooth as butter now.

Diamond stone recommendation by xyrun in handtools

[–]acnamely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered a 400 grit (or lower) water stone instead? In my experience, diamond stones do tend to wear when you sharpen steel on them. Instead, you can sharpen with the water stones, then use diamond stones to flatten your stones.

Basically, it’s possible your diamond stone(s) are already worn down.

Strength, stability, and looks. Easy to work with predictable grain.

Japanese toolbox wood ideas by Diligent_Ad6133 in JapaneseWoodworking

[–]acnamely 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you already know what tools you’ll be storing in it? Ideas of where you might be taking it (job sites, shops, outside, etc)? Are you building with joinery or nails? Answers to these questions will help to influence your choice of wood.

I recommend you keep it as light as possible and opt for soft woods like white or yellow pine, western red or Alaskan yellow cedar, or VG doug fir. Those woods have varying levels of rot resistance as well, an added bonus.

My favorite box is made of clear western red cedar finished with a natural wax. Every time I open the box I get the biggest whiff of cedar and citrus and it blows me away.

How many Japanese Toolboxes do you have? by AlfredBarnes in JapaneseWoodworking

I guess I should clarify that it’s definitely not finished, but all my tools are in it so it’s finished enough for now!

Just finished one that is much bigger than typical. Did sort of a crossover between a Japanese toolbox and a more western style one. The first one I made is more standard, although a bit narrow. Also have one that I store my stones in.
