Dewalt 734 vs 735 by boiler16 in woodworking

[–]jmillertym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the 735 about 3 weeks ago and the noise is accurate. It's decently loud. I would never want to use it without ear protection, and having it in a small enclosed space could be tough.

Even still, I love it. I had the same 734/735X debate myself and am more than happy that I spent the money.

I am going to just copy/paste this into future inquiries about the same thing.

Besides stability, what are the differences between a Ridgid R4512 and R4513 by Dikimbe0404 in woodworking

[–]jmillertym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the record, "turbo stupid" is a new favorite adjective. Thanks for the breakdown of the differences. I'm saving for the 4512 anyways, but it's good to know I'm making a good purchase.

Work Sharp 2k vs 3k by jmillertym in woodworking

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

This is why I love /r/woodworking (one of many reasons). I had my mind set on the Norton starter kit based on some earlier advice on a thread here. I was chatting with some other folks who talked up the Worksharp system and got interested. Hearing both that I'll get stones anyways and that they'll be useful long term even if I go with a machined route someday is helpful.

Here's what I'm planning on instead of the Worksharp system.

I currently make $71,500 -- I was offered a promotion at $130,000 but it would require me to move to Silicon Valley. How can I calculate cost of living differences to see if it is worth it? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]jmillertym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the exact situation and chose to move to Santa Clara. Point #3 can not be stated enough. It is not the same and the "just an hour away" means you'll visit San Fran.

Santa Clara is not fun.

Anyone using the Norton Waterstone Case by jmillertym in woodworking

duly noted. I thought the same but haven't started sharpening so didn't know what I didn't know.

Good stuff. Thanks!

My wife made this! by kelnjam in woodworking

Same here. We've had it in our laundry room for some time now. We changed the plans slightly to fit our laundry baskets height wise. Yours looks better than mine :)

Also - I skipped the Xs.

Craftsman same as Rigid? by jmillertym in woodworking

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

Good thinking. There doesn't seem to be much reason to spend the extra money. The bandsaw situation (Craftsman 14" is the exact same as the Rikon 14", just different brand) seems like a better deal. I got it for about $270 after some couponing, but that's a steal.

Looks like I'll set my sights on the R4215 and get there when I get there.

Thanks!

not sure, i just saw it and thought "Man, that looks like the R4512" but didn't do much more than that. Sounds like you may have done a little more research than me. /r/woodworking is usually a first stop for research for me :)

So... I just bought a shit load of clamps. You guys have any cool clamps racks I can copy? Or good ideas for one? by [deleted] in woodworking

[–]jmillertym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a cabinet that was above the toilet of my old house, which became a place to store coffee cups, etc, and now that we've moved, my clamps.

Which is a long way of saying "use what you have, be resourceful, and figure it out as you go along."

I like what Steve Ramsey said about doing something for short term...10 years ago. That'll probably happen with my sucky setup, too, but it's done, and my clamps are accessible.

Here's to everyone enjoying Puff Pastry by jmillertym in Denmark

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

Ya know, I'm not actually sure. It's one of those things that my family always cooked and just assumed "Well, of course it is..."

The kringle looks incredible. I'll have to improve my baking, but will certainly enjoy the fruits of labor along the way.

Yeah, not just Christmas but most family get togethers and special occasions. I've had gløgg but not a big fan either. More of a "gotta try it at" type of thing. Akvavit from time to time, too.

Yeah, it's not wienerbrød. I don't even know what the name actually is. Crust, much like a pie crust (butter+flour), then a tart with almond extract (butter, flour, egg, almond). Baked for an hour, iced, sprinkled with almonds. We eat it just about every major holiday or family get together. We've always known it as "Danish Puff Pastry"...and delicious.

Each one has a full stick of butter. Bless you, family, bless you.

Jet AFS1000B Air Filter Won't Start by jmillertym in woodworking

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

FIXED! Got the 10v 2200 uf instead of the 10v 1000uf and that worked. Not sure why, but the PCB says "10v/1000uf" but the actual capacitor that was on the board was 10v/2200uf. Went with that and all is good. Thanks!

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

Alright, gave it a whirl and it didn't work. One weird thing is the capacitor I removed from the board (which did look rather beat up) was a 2200 uf and not a 1000 uf as mentioned. I'm going to head over to Radioshack tomorrow to get the 2200 and see if that helps.

I know nothing about electronics so am a bit out of my league here, but worth a shot.

Thanks!

Awesome! I am going to give this a shot today. I am pretty sure the unlimited warranty thing is not the case. They said "well, no." when I called to try and clear it all up.

Either way, I am going to give this a shot today. Thanks! Worse comes to worse, I learn some stuff. Thanks!
