If I send you $8 does Coop's shipment get rerouted to NJ?

I didn't know what it stood for, learn something new everyday. I always referred to HD as the Big Orange or BORG.
-
A little bit of both. It was extremely crowded and the long lines plus social distance spacing contributed.
-
Went to the BORG today cause I needed a 2x4, only took 4 boards to find a perfectly straight 1. Now it did take 30 minutes in line to buy it, but I am looking at the positive. ?

Well that sucked! My hands are hurting after all that sharpening. I'm glad I started over, cause some I don't think I sharpened properly the first time when I didn't know much. Now that chisels are done, it's on to plane blades. I really need to learn to freehand sharpen. I would like to add a higher grit stone, but I don't want to go through a good part of this process again.

Different strokes. After I flatten the backs, I find it easier to set the guide then go through the 4 stones, then onto the next victim.

Well that was fun! Went back to 220 and up to 8,000 with all 8 chisels, in the end I'm sure I won't regret. Backs are flat, now to do the bevels. So for those of you that use the Veritas MKii honing jig. I went back through the manual and couldn't find my answer. When setting up the width of the chisel you set the 1 part to let's say 1/4" which is marked, if you have a 3/8 chisel do you set between 1/4 and 1/2" marks?

My Go555 doesn't shake either.

Impact of Covid 19. Bushwacked completes his woodshop renovation, builds a quilting desk and officially goes from woodworker to seamstress! What is this world coming to!

The set I'm talking about was done on my stones. I think I'm going to start over for my 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 and 1. For the 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 I'm going to start at 4,000 since, as mentioned, I have never used and unless I'm doing a small timberframe doubt I will.
-
No more sandpaper. Just using my diamond plates and water stones from now on. I know you're right about starting over, but I'm just not wanting to admit. The 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 I'm not going to do over since I have never actually used them, if I ever do, I can decide at that time.
-
There in really good shape, that is why I'm leaning towards starting at 4,000
-
I have 2 sets of chisels. The one set I never really sharpened properly. I basically used wet dry sandpaper and never was happy with the performance. So today I started over and sharpened this set, 220, 320, 1000, 4000 and 8,000. Now for my issue, my other set I am fairly certain I never took these through my 8,000 grit stone. I actually can't remember if I stopped at 1,000 or 4,000. What would you do, cause I believe I have 3 options: 1). Start over completely (not preferred) 2). Start a 4,000 3). Go directly to 8,000

I am not good at Sketchup, but I do use it. I have my ways of doing things, probably not the right way. I can mess around and see if something looks right and take measurements, so I agree with Kev it is useful whether your just doing for your own projects or if it is a commission. -

Mmmmm. Shrimp -
They look like a pair of Chaps a cowboy would wear! Nice slabs, but I'm not a crazy figure guy.
-
Totally agree Coop! I used to buy a Ghost Pepper salsa, after awhile it lost all flavor cause the heat.
-
Jaime looks like some quality stuff. I love horseradish with pork tenderloin.

Maybe Kev could get you some black pajama pants, then the wife won't be able to keep her hands off you!

Family forum, don't want to hear about 2 good ole boys giving each other a happy ending!

Most places will take a body part, prefer arms and legs!
-
How long has this set lasted? If you think you could get 2 times longer with carbide then that might sway your decision. If it was me 1 would buy 2 sets of the HSS.

That's a nice log Spanky!

When did the llama become a sloth? -
Cutting board and CNC, it's like PB&J

Yes I noticed the sparks coming off the bandsaw. My only guess would be that the blade was touching the guides because how he set it up. Then again I could be totally off base.
