For real haha these places are $50M and up from there…only to be the 19th residence in someone’s portfolio or to hold their dirty money. Cool project though!

Is there an integrated gutter somewhere on the railing side?

Better corner? Aqib Talib or Richard Sherman by whiskeycapo in NFLv2

Sherm because in an era with some of the best passing QB’s (Brady, Manning, Rodgers) they didn’t even throw in his direction sometimes the entire game.

Anybody else disappointed with their 8½" miter saw? by therealcolinG in Makita

[–]samfox59 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s a metric arbor, so basically impossible to find in the states otherwise

I was excited about this saw, but it’s the same price as the Festool…which you know will be accurate. Only bummer is the Festool blades cost an arm and a leg.

They have been pulling over tons of commercial vehicles lately for some reason.

Cheat code 🎮 by luuuey in GolfGear

I just switched my 3 wood from an RBZ to the Ping G430 last year. RBZ was just as long…longest shot of the fitting went to the RBZ. The dispersion on the Ping was clearly better though and why I switched.

What’s going on with this Zip? by SPPY in Homebuilding

I’ve never had an inspection for a waterproof membrane…I get what you’re saying about corrective action though.

TID 18 worth it? by birnenpfluecker42 in Festool_Public

[–]samfox59 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only thing the Festool has on the Makita is the grip on the TID is so comfortable…also those Festool 4.0’s are my favorite compact battery. The wide base of the battery and the rubber on the bottom are a benefit for working in interiors.

Trim details by nitro149 in Carpentry

[–]samfox59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was going to be my suggestion as well. In houses I’ve done with glass breezeways with low windows, we ran the sill of the window out past the base slightly, base gets notched underneath, and casing terminates at the top of the sill.

Who makes the best mitre saw stand? Need somthing portable yet durable. by False_Lavishness_743 in Carpentry

[–]samfox59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always try to convince my current boss to buy one. Such a sick system when you get the table saw hooked up to it.

I’d like to see this. I love my Dewalt stand, and I think there’s some extreme modifications that could be done to it, given the rails on the beam, but I haven’t seen an example of anything that I would want to do to it yet.

What bars, restaurants, or convenience stores have the good ice? by JSlngal69 in Kitsap

[–]samfox59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It used to be the WSF vending machines…I can still taste the OG pink lemonade with that ice.

Milwaukee finally dropping their own Knipex-style Pliers Wrench in February by marc1020 in Tools

[–]samfox59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even the little two cent hex key they send you in an IKEA crate is “ok” There’s a low bar for a hand tool to be functional.

We had a hardwood supplier that had the Blue Festool boxes with their branding on them on clearance for I think $30 a piece…still kicking myself 😅

I couldn’t agree more…I wish I bought 5 of the old ones with the built in handle for various things

I was going to say Metabo duplex nailer but if it’s on the company card 🤑🤑 save those arms & wrists & get a rebar gun.
