bigdguitars Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 if I had a 14 foot band saw i could millout houses LOL ha ha, sorry bout that. You are just the name to reply. Would you recomend a HVLP system, or an airbrush gun and a good compressor? I know a turbine system is expensive but what is your take? you run compressed right? These are the last two things I need drum sander, and sprayer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simo Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 (edited) My tool collection is growing slowly at the moment I've got....

krazyderek Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 (edited) The only thing that I am missing is drum sander.... and a couple years of experience like the rest of us The only problem I have is getting the drill press to drill the holes in the right spot... Brad bits tends to do a bit less walking with the pointed tip and all.... or if you can't spring for a new set of drill bits, drill a hole in a peice of scrap plywood or plexiglass, then double tape that peice where you want the hole, if you tape the hole "template" in the right place then the whole will be dead on every time, the drill bit has no where to go but straight down..

Lex Luthier Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Even though you edited your post Drak... I'm proud of my 'stuff'. I earned it with a well paying job I had back in the winter/fall. I like tools/machinery, and I like to show mine off. I think I've got a pretty good shop for a 20yo(and it's all mine, none of it is my father's). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jabsco Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 My dad and I share a shop, so whenever we need a new tool we each pay half. Pritty nice system I think. 9" bandsaw (got a 14" im trying to fix up, but its missing a few parts) 3 routers (porter cable, craftsman, craftsman) and a table for it, and about 15 different bits. 10" table saw floor drill press about 6 drill bit assortments chop saw tons of hand saws 2 different belt sanders, and 4 stationary tabletop sanders professional chissle, and file sets. spokeshaft, bench plane, ect.. jig saw glueing station, lots of clamps and vices. as I said, my dad has paid for most of these, but I payed half of the router, bandsaw, and drill press and a few other things and yes krazy derek, the next thing on my list is a few years of experience, after that, a spray booth and a thickness planer.

Lex Luthier Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Yes you do, and you should be right proud of it, granted. I just get tired of the I Me Mine syndrome you seem to be stuck in, but I step back, remember your age, and I check myself. This is not a perfect world. Probably normal for a 20 year old, you go right ahead. Try to include -other people- in your posts occasionally tho, OK? no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Hey Simo, you must be in Europe to have tools made by Ferm. AFAIK, they are really cheap price-wise, but I wonder about the quality. How have Ferm tools been holding up for you ? They are the company that distributes the " King Craft" dremel copy I just bought. I'm not going to bother making a list, but it makes me think of all the stuff I should have, but don't. My mom had all her grandfather's tools in a workshop in our basement. My dad used them and I used to walk in there in awe, looking forward to being able to use all of it, one day. When my parents divorced, my dad did not take any of my mom's grandfather's tools. When I was 10, she married this low-life scum. They were only married a year. He made it so our gas got shut off for the winter, my mom got bronchitis so bad, she had to go in the hospital for a couple of weeks. I stayed at my grandmother's. During that time, her husband stole everything in the workshop, and we never got it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapbarstrat Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 I hope the teeth are not still sharp. I wait until they are dull, then snap pieces off, put them in the vise and sharpen the non-toothed side with a file. They're small , but easier to handle than my big 5 dollar German scraper.
