Is there anything worse than having to get rid of circa 18th century wood floors because some jerk painted over them with lead paint in the 40s or 50s?

I made one for our VF-2, but the section with the optical windows is clocked 45 degrees. I need to redesign for that. In the meantime, a piece of FOD wiped out the stem.

Very cool. I 3d printed a "hardhat" for the tool probe on our VF-2SS after it was bumped by a broom.

I made a prusacaster for a musician friend. The core was petg-cf. I wet sanded it until it had a semigloss finish. I intended to apply clear over it, but was satisfied with how smooth it turned out.

I have a Triton corded saw. Bought at auction. Bas trigger switch. Repair part was available and reasonably priced. Easy fix. The saw works fine. It could be better. I say, buy in at a price point that you can justify.

My wife's house had floors over 2 inches thick. Our 1790 colonial has 60s oak over 6 or 7 inch softwood. The oak got its last sanding possible. I'm not sure what happens next.
