   Did I just blunder into something brand new? There are no messages in any of the discussions. I don't see anything telling me when Tool Talk began. Whats going on?

   why this forum?

   the others have their own folders dealing with tools.

   I am considering a Bosch 1617EVS or 1618EVS router.  What is the benefit of a D-Handle router?

   I have always prefered the d handle.  I like the fact the switch is controlled by your trigger finger.  I have also found that it is more comfortable and more easly controlled by your strong hand.

   What are the opinions of the Max clipped head framing nailer?

   Trip96 | Jan 10, 2005 11:31pm | #21

   I have a building/remodeling crew of four in Downeast Maine. I bought a Max framing nailer a couple of months ago. It was heavy(we all hook our guns on our belts) and it jammed alot. It also did not run on the same air pressure as my Hitachi guns,even with the depth adjustment. I traded it in for a Hitachi NR83a full head stick nailer. Now I have three. All my other guns are Hitachi and I have o-ring kits for all(2 roofers,two sidewall guns, two finish guns)I think the Hitachis are the best. I can get good Hot Dipped  and stainless nails for all of them. They are reliable and durable. The Max seemed like a well made gun. It has a full safety lock on the trigger. They seem durable but they are heavy. Hitachi for me thanks.

   Unrelated to tool issues, I have been volunteered by my wife to make a small, decorative boat (4' long) to do under a Christmas tree to be auctioned off for charity.  I am looking for a model or design that I could use rather than trying to come up with one myself.  Any ideas?

   Chris,

   Here's a snapshot of a small boat built as a bending and laminating project by a  classmate; it's about four-feet long!

   Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right.

   Chris

   wood magazine has a nautical knick kack shelf that may serve.  The boat is about 3'6" long, 10" wide and 7" high. Although the original is designed to be wall mounted as a display shelf it shouldn't take much to get it to modify teh design so that the boat rests on its keel.

   I got a copy of the palns from  http://www.woodmagazine.com

    I just broke a 1/4inch band saw blade.
    According to my book, blades can be braised successfully.
    Before I invest in a braising kit, can someone advise me:
    is braising a good fix?
    what kit should one buy?
    is there somone in the Albany, NY area who could give me a lesson?
    Thanks.

   I know some people use silver solder to make new bandsaw blades out of rolls of stock. It's supposed to be as strong as purchased blades.

    My wife gave me a Tradesman bench top drill press for Christmas, but I'm not too sure of the quality. Though it has many of the usualy desired features, the milling and finish seem a little cheezy, and before I began assembling it I wanted to look at the Woodtek and Grizzly models. Returning it would be easy but best done before opening the carton. Anybody know anything about these models?

    New here. Apologies.... Is there a different discussion where I could throw out a question about toning wood prior to staining to achieve uniform color of a project, or is this the place? If so, How do I get there. thank you.
