KRAP! just got an email from Princess Auto, basically "due to high and unexpected demand....yadda...yadda...we had to cancel your order. How many nailers did they have, I ordered the day they went on sale. F%ckink Krap!

Well, I ordered three and I was told I got the last ones.

(one for each nailer).

If anyone knows of some good deals (ie clearance)on any of the brand name router bits like Freud, Porter Cable ect, please post or let me know if you see anything decent.

If I see them first, I'm going to buy three of each till their gone.

May you be stricken with Bukolitis in the groinal region.

what about my gone? Nobody ever thinks about my gone. *pout*

Well, I have not done much wood work lately, so I'll submit this embarrassingly simply bit of wood work I did this week just to feel like part of the group. The long version - I built two rectangles from an old bed frame, filled it with old law books and put a $40 piece of scrap black granite on top and named it "table". I'm not happy with it, and I expect I'll go back to the floor setup I had before, but the lack of contributions got to me, so here it be:

That's kewell, Charles. Where on earth do find a 'scrap piece of granite', the books aren't hiding an epitaph by any chance are they?

Big sign in front of the granite store said remnant sale, so I stopped by. I paid $40 for that large (heavy!) slab of beautiful polished black granite (with rough edges that I kinda like, kinda don't). I really just wanted some 18x18 pieces to make floor stands for the components, but who can pass up a $40 granite table (with some light wood work added).

I had to restrain myself as they had several some damn fine "scraps" that were actually fully finished (bull nose at all edges) 36x96 table tops for $400. All kinds of deals if you can manage the stuff. Really heavy and hard to handle - even this "little" piece. Plus the diamond blades needed to cut the stuff gets expensive to just play with.

Check locally, my might be shocked what you find and use without modification.
