    Down the rabbit hole again - Project 4350

    I will go full out and upset people and say DeWalt (for power tools) is garbage in a pro situation. Once you have used power tools that combine power with finesse, like Makita, Hitachi, Mafell, Hilti, Festool, you'll understand how poor DeWalt is. As common as it may be on the jobsite (purely...

    Down the rabbit hole again - Project 4350

    No brainer. I'm going to buy the Hitachi/ Hikoki/ Metabo HPT 36v cordless. I know Sawstop is a good system but once it has fired, it is done, and the module needs to be replaced. I like the Hitachi constantly monitored feedback system on their cordless circular saws. If it senses kickback or a...

    NBD: Squier CV 50s P

    The Gotoh bushings are 11/16", which is nominally the same size as Fender uses. They are designed to be interchangeable with Fender. They should be a good tight press fit. I didn't change the bushings, I just used the Squier ones, they fit the Gotohs perfectly and so I can't offer any personal...

    How bad (or good) was your first bass?

    Satellite Jazz Bass from 1980-something. I was 12 years old, it was not new but probably played once and then went under a bed until my dad parted with $20 for it. It was cosmetically flawless, but had an action you could drive a truck under, had horrible tapewounds, a plywood body, and the neck...

    We all have them. We may deny we have them, but we have them. Bass and guitar from the SAME manufacturer. Show us yours, share the guilt. I'll start with a pair of Squiers. I'll even continue with an Ibanez one-two. Squiers - '99 Affinity Strat with lots of upgrades, 2021 CV 50s P...

    Down the rabbit hole again - Project 4350

    I would like this twice if I were allowed to, but I'm not, so consider this twice.

    Down the rabbit hole again - Project 4350

    Oh yeah and by the way I think my table saw was stolen today. I got a text late last night from one of my minions on another job asking for a contractor's saw, so I replied saying ok I'll leave mine out front for you. Meaning in front of my porch. So I gets home and, no saw, which is expected...

    This thread gets closer to a lifetime TB ban with every single post, tbh.
