Cutting plywood like a boss! Used the @bora_tool

Cutting plywood like a boss!

Used the @bora_tool NGX Straight Edge cutting guide and my @crescent_tool Folding Square- love these two together! Quick cut with the @dewalttough Compact Circular Saw.

Can we talk about this cover though?! @saintasonia is always epic- but I’m digging this Blinging Lights Cover! What is a cover that y’all think is better than the original?!

Repairing some deer-damaged fence areas today. It’s a beautiful day weather wise, so I’ll take full advantage while I can! What are y’all doing to round out the month?

It’s absolutely amazing what these animals can do to a fence. It’s a constant thing to be repairing something! I grab for my @crescent_tool Snips for these, they work the best for actually cutting through the wire, and the shape of the head gives me the prefect leverage to easily curl sharp edges in to avoid injuries down the line. We’ve all been there!

Cut, prep, shape and finish- all in one tool!

I teamed up with @boschtoolsna #BoschPartner to share some of my thoughts on their newest X-LOCK Grinder. I had a perfect project to see how it shines- repurposing this old shipping crate into new trellises. So what makes this tool special?

The Bosch X-LOCK makes changing wheels and discs super fast. Go from cutting to polishing to grinding in seconds, making using the tool a breeze. There’s was nothing worse than digging for a spanner wrench when you’re trying to push through a project! Plus, X-LOCK offers a perfect hold on the wheel, every time!

The easy to adjust guard stood out too, allowing you to adjust the guard with a small latch on the side quickly and easily. You can truly tailor the tool to your needs. For me, this was a feature I really enjoyed especially while working with metal! The switch can be locked on, which is great for extended use.

Bosch packs in a brushless motor, electronic clutch control and manages to eliminate a significant amount of vibration. The 8.0 CORE PROFACTOR battery provides crazy power and runtime- giving you full corded performance without the cord! It’s obvious Bosch took user feedback to heart because this Grinder takes every small hassle and eliminates it- without losing an ounce of power and performance.

This project is a fun one, taking an old shipping crate and turning it into a series of trellis is a labor of love, and a chance to really see what this grinder can do! Once I finish paint, y’all will be shocked how this came together! Trash to treasure- as they say, but trash to trellis has a good ring to it!

They have robots for everything these days! Have y’all seen these?!

So the other day I had to make a late night run to our local Walmart, as most stories like that go- my youngest broke her ankle and after an evening spent in the ER, I wanted to make sure I had Children’s Advil to send to school for her to manage swelling and pain. This floor cleaner definitely caught my attention though!

Curious what y’all’s thoughts are?! This was my first time seeing a robotic floor cleaner, and obviously it sort of made me think about the bigger picture. Once upon a time, a human operated these, so while I think it’s cool, I can help but feel a twinge at the idea that someones job was replaced by this machine. Flip side, it’s obviously efficient and you gotta admit the ability for it to register a change of course was needed is pretty dang cool.

Machines and the advances in tech are great. We certainly take advantages of similar advancements in tech in the woodworking and power tool community too- so I guess it’s just the cycle of things.

This clamps though! What would y’all be using them for?!

I posted this clip a few months ago after hanging with the iconic @izzyswan_woodworking - and y’all had a ton of questions! Thankfully the Xpander Clamp System is now available from @woodpeckers_tools so be sure to check it out! Congrats Izzy!

Also- @thebuildwithethan really is the best Demo Dude.

Original Caption-

Wait, these clamps do what?! 🤯😍

Izzy is legit, the king of cool inventions- like the X Clamp- I can totally see these as a heck of a great way to save times during glue ups- no question these are genius! Would you use these??

Thanks for always letting us crash your shop Izzy! And Ethan- you really are the king of demos! 😉

Testing a new finish- so new, I can’t even tell you about it!What do y’all want out of a finish??

For me- So much comes down to what the build will be used for. If I have my pick, I like simple finishes that are easy to apply and that hold up to abuse. But I’m a sucker for that soft satin sheen for most any natural wood. So far- this may beat out anything I’ve tried to date- some more testing and abuse is needed, and once I can share it, I definitely will!

Until then- I’ll just be drooling over this walnut 🤤
