Alright, ALRIGHT!!!

God Bless America, I could hear you yelling form the back porch!

I got a Craftsman, 2.7hp, with the extendable side and back. it's a pretty nice unit. Now, I guess I HAVE to make the wife's plate rack.

Woodworking is fairly new to me, I've always been a motorhead. I like woodworking, I'm just not very good at it...yet.

me too Friz, we moved here when the last of the kids went off to college so I swore that I would surround myself with all of the tools I always wanted.....Jet Table saw, Delta Drill press, router table, compound miter, blah blah blah...I love working with them and they have been indispensible working on restoring this house.....just not real good at it yet...it is amazing though how good tools can make you look like a hero and actually know what you are doing when you really dont.  Keep looking at these dowvetail jig setups.....very $$$ though.....be careful....table saws have claimed MANY a finger.....two from my father in law!

As a general rule, I shy away from spinning, chewing, or grinding type tools while drinking, and vise versa.

Noisy, powerful tools sure are lots of fun, though!

If you think the woodworking tools around your house are fun, you ought to see some of the monsters at the cabinetry place where I work.  They got some huge machinery, pretty cool stuff when it actually works.  Just for example, they have 4 big sanding machines that are about 12ft tall.  And take rolls of sandpaper that are about 3ft in diameter.

You guys need to start getting into the metal working stuff.  I was all into the woodworking, accumulating tools and having a good ol time until dad bought me a welder last Christmas.  I'm like a boy in a candy store.  Wood is weak, steel is strong!  I still do a little bit with the saws, sanders, and drills, but I'm cranking that welder every chance I can get.  Now I just need to get together a few more metal tools and I'm set.

I would assume you have lots of metal working needs on a farm....I have always wanted to try out metal working but always thought there is only so much metal work needed in the average american non-farm home!  Maybe I am wrong....

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?

      BAK Revolver bed cover

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
