Yeah, I was hoping to see what you find.....
Have not used or seen this one in person. My experience with other sharpener knockoffs has been poor. Cheap quality. Poor fit/finish/function.
Yeh, your right. Didn't think about file quality/replacement cost. Having one of my Cheap moments.
I finally broke down and cut a piece of plywood just right to cover my table saw for when I need another work surface.
I am generally ’frugal’. But, when it comes to tools, I am usually happy, in the long run, going with ‘the real thing’. Save money by not buying things you don’t need.
The blue one is actually also plastic. The green one is metal, and the grey one is metal with metal handles as well.
I was going to run a strip of plywood around the back section to keep that from happening. But it's easier to store this way. I way put short sides ion the front section to keep parts from straying.
Thanks for the feedback!
Not only that but our electrical grid is obsolete. California and Texas are always doing brownouts according to the News. With the bigger use of electrical power will come the higher cost of use and more brownouts. Add to that the losers that are attacking power sub stations and shutting the power down.
Those are so nice, one of the first things I wanted to add to my tractor but other projects kept getting in the way. I was also thinking about adding a cylinder to one of my lift arms that also never got done. I just had a box blade at the time and I wanted to fix a section of the access road which was a mess with ruts/potholes, and the sides had become higher than the road making it like a shallow creek. The box blade weighs 600 lbs and it was a PITA trying to tilt it so I could crown the road. My tractor is relatively short so I tried running it perpendicular to the road, pulling the soil to the middle which gave me an angle to work off of. Brought a bunch of stone in and it held up nicely.
There are a lot of great deals on Marketplace for used generators in my area. I'm pretty sure I have a 6500w and [2] 7000w Generac generators that I paid $200 for each of them. Two needed carb cleanings and all needed a new battery for the electric start. We have one for our house, one for the farm and one for my daughters house.
Our grid is obsolete too, it has come so far that because of added wind turbine capacity, some lines are at max load and solar panels owners connected to that same main line can't sell their surplus production anymore.
Very nice job on the road. I thought about the hydraulic side link for my tractor. I don't think that I have ever adjusted the side link on any of my tractors over the years to do grading work. I'm sure it would be very handy for tapering road edges. My farmer friend does our farm driveway with his tractor every year. That driveway also goes out to his farm out back. My main logging road is quite similar to your road. What a difference 3/4 stone has made to stiffen it up over the years. I don't have to grade it at all anymore.
We have those same fools running America. They have no idea about anything and no common sense.
Yea no doubt, I like California where the government controls your thermostat
