jay Posted June 3, 2017 #32 Posted June 3, 2017 Tools I can't live without 1 digital calipers, 2 long arm adjustable magnifying lamp, 3 stand for holding plans the calipers I use are not expensive ones as used for fine machining so I don't have to worry about dropping them and losing there fine calibration so I just use a simple Harbor Fright brand the magnifying lamp I use has a long adjustable spring loaded arm (4 feet long) with a bright neon circular light that has a 6 x magnifying glass in the center (5") simply clamps to work bench. the stand I use for holding the planes and notes is a aluminum I . V stand (as the ones used in hospitals) with the 3 rolling wheels, modified with simple wood dowels that adjust to size with simple small spring loaded clamps. Jay Canute and Seventynet 2

ca.shipwright Posted June 12, 2017 #36 Posted June 12, 2017 Well I guess I am the only Bourbon or Sour Mash drinker. Scotch gives me an aweful headache. Even the $40 a shot super brand. I will pass on one tired piece of advice. Alcohol and tools, especially power don't make for a safe environment. My lovely wife knows never to talk to me while have a motor running. I just can't multitask any more at my age. After work, well that's another story. Be safe Regards Canute, Jack12477 and davyboy 3 ca.shipwright Michael Zemmel Midlothian.

shipman Posted December 14, 2019 #37 Posted December 14, 2019 Hope all you alcoholics sober up before you turn on power tools or ANY SHARP THINGS. These days, my favourite tool is an adjustable chair. John Allen, druxey and Canute 3
