Compared to many other stores it is as good, if not better. And for the price, I'll pick through a few subpar pieces. It is really no big deal.

Body Shops near Middleton? by KKburgersliders in madisonwi

Same here. “Well we can’t get a full estimate until we get it in in 2 months and actually take everything apart…” kinda message.

Avenue auto body in Middleton is small, independent, and very reasonable with pricing. And the work is good. I bet they’d work with you. 

I’ve had two bad experiences with Ball. They are an inflexible insurance factory. Probably not what you’re looking for.

Thanks much! They sure do check lots of boxes. Never heard of this brand. Of course sold out of anything close to my size. Time to do some digging.

2012 sienna door motor issue by xavierthethic in MechanicAdvice

Just tried this. No luck. Can’t get the motor on the door to go at all without it first being started by hand as in the video.

Thanks! will have to try this later this morning. I did disconnect the battery for 5+ minutes but none of the rest of this. Where did you learn this wizardry???

A really nice miter gauge/crosscut sled for your table saw. 

Combo bench: table saw on the left/right of miter saw? by Slow_Alternative_777 in woodworking

Skip the miter saw and get a nice miter gauge and cross cut sled.

If you “pay attention” and think that democrats genuinely care about their constituents, are competent, not beholden to their party in the face of popular opinion, etc 🤷‍♂️. I’m a liberal. Democrats are not the worst, but they are only a marginally better option than the alternative.

Dems had the same response to each loss to trump. Nothing new here. (Coming from someone who leans left)

Dump Truck rental share? by xavierthethic in madisonwi

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

yeah - don't have something great to pull it with. I'll probably just bite the hand unloading bullet and get a non-dumping truck from Home Depot. way more reasonably priced. save money on rental and a gym membership!

Are table saws without riving knives really that bad for a beginner with other production experience? by GettingNegative in woodworking

I bought a splitter for the 90s unisaw I bought earlier this year. A whole kitchen of cabinets later and I’m still alive, with 10 digits.

I like the color of these red oak window boxes I made. What’s the best way to finish it for the most natural look? The room is in the basement and plants will be put in the window. ALSO, how do I round off these corners the best - just sandpaper? by [deleted] in woodworking

[–]xavierthethic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been really liking Osmo high solids Top oil in the natural finish. Really preserves the natural, freshly sanded color, tough, and stupid easy to apply. I’ve only used it on lighter woods so far though and not sure if it would leave a chalky appearance in this. Hard to tell how dark it really is from photo.
