Helpful hints for building coops

[jvls1942]

Hi,
Jet maybe ? Porter Cable makes good stuff. I had a belt sander. I think somebody lifted it off of my pu truck at the restaurant..
didn't have it long enough to get attached to it. LOL
I went through a ship load of B&D cheapies.. I liked them because they were so slow that you could hardly gouge the wood. but they just don't last long.

when you start putting the saw together, let us know. maybe we can save you some frustration..

are your signs hand painted ?
I sort of recall you said something
about woodburning..
either way, it is top notch work..
I need "no trespassing" signs. only I would put "Just Go Away" on them

Hi Jim,
I was thinking of making a sign with welcome on one side and GO AWAY! on the other side. They are woodburned signs , some have color added for appeal. I try to sell them reasonably, average about $15. plus shipping.

Ugh, a reminder to everyone, check the label before using spray products! I accidentally used black spray paint instead of clear sealer since the caps are black on both. Hopefully it will sand off.

Hubby assembled my saw tonight! It is a Porter Cable. Excited to try it out! Pic tomorrow!

Porter Cable is good.
is it motorized; or belt driven ?

I prefer belt driven.

I hope you didn't ruin that sign.

Menard's had a sale today. until Sunday. 15% off of everything you can fit into a shopping bag.

I bought a cheapish belt sander, some 3x18 sanding belts and a featherboard for my table saw.

Annie bought 3 large boxes of dog treats..

Motorized, i believe. Wish i could have gone shopping too. I am getting tired of not going anywhere. Maybe the snow will melt tomorrow.
