Another Sweaty Day<\/i><\/p>\n
I don’t know how anyone could ever say my life isn’t exciting. Today I cut a plank into shelves, and I also used my dry cut saw to make a padded jack head fit my floor jack. The stem on the jack head was longer than the original, so I cut it down. I painted the bare, unplated end with truck bed paint, but I guess I can expect rust anyway.<\/p>\n
I felt like I was overspending when I bought a 10″ miter saw a year or two ago, but increasingly, it seems like I didn’t spend enough. I just cut a one-by-eight-inch board, and I had to turn it over to complete the job. I have looked at 12″ sliding miter saws, which cut bigger stock, but they’re heavy and take up lots of room. I believe a 10″ sliding miter saw would have been perfect. Ridgid doesn’t make one, but Makita does. For the low, low price of $500.<\/p>\n
Oh well.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure what people generally use for pieces of wood that are not right for a circular saw or a table saw. I would think a 10″ sliding miter saw would cover 95% of the bases.<\/p>\n
It amazes me how often I don’t have the right tool for a job, after all the acquisitions I’ve made. I guess this is why people hire other people to do their work for them.<\/p>\n
I still can’t figure out what to get my old man for Father’s Day. It’s driving me nuts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
