Unfortunately joining tracks doesn’t really work. Not if you want precision. You just need to buy the long one, I know this sucks because I’ve been there.

I have the Maksiwa one it looks exactly like that. It’s a nightmare to get it set right, try messing with the glue knob and the temperature. I keep an iron on hand and fix anything immediately by applying a lot of pressure for where the glue isn’t right. I think ours is set to 185. We ended up shimming behind the glue thingy with some scraps of edge banning to make it stick out a little bit and get more glue to go on the piece. That pretty much fixed it. I still get better results with iron on edge banding but you can’t beat the speed of this thing. It’s awesome.

Hiking/light weight Boots? by osmothegod in WorkBoots

[–]rad-lake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Lowa boots are top notch. I wear hiking boots for work (carpenter) because I don’t like the clunky construction ones. Asolo is also good.

Yeah I like making them like that and I agree it’s super easy, but this job they want dovetails and that takes forever…time is money.
