    Small blanket chest project

    Nice. I hope the top gets a little roundover. One's buttocks could get a little sore on that sharp edge. 😬

    Cheap, easy MFT table mod

    The top is a product called Valchromat, high density fiberboard. I borrowed a Parf Guide System from a forum member to align all the holes in the 96mm MFT format. If I had to do it all over again I'd just pay someone to do it on a CNC.

    Is There a Decent Staple Gun Out There?

    This applies to electrics as well. If I don't have mine pressed flush to the surface, I'll get a bent staple.

    Is There a Decent Staple Gun Out There?

    I bought the Ryobi 18v stapler to build cages to keep the squirrels and birds away from my wife's blueberry bushes. I like it. I'll never go back to the manual staplers. I have a Craftsman and an Arrow, but I'm not even sure where they are anymore.

    He has a long wait ahead

    I'm always amazed at the incredible optimism of some CL sellers: Planer 24 inch - $1,000 (Roanoke) That looks like it will require a full restoration and who knows whether parts are missing... It looks similar to this:

    Laminated Plywood: A snipe hunt?

    For what some of these specialty plywoods cost, it seems like it would be cost effective to buy some formica and cover a sheet of plywood yourself. The formica would be thicker and far more durable than melamine.
