I am allergic to labor.
i love tools. i have a pretty extensive collection.
i want to get some wood working tools. just the basics will do me, a drill presser, a table saw, and maybe one of those electric sanders.
speaking of electric sanders, has anyone seen those big huge sanders? one time i was in shop class and this guy got his shirt stuck in it and it sanded his ass until the thing shut off. omg it was so sad and so funny at the same time. it took forever to stop that thing too.
whoa shit... do you ever wonder why or what a girl would do with an electric tool?? what kinda thoughts are currently running though your mind??

You'll need a large commercial grade wet saw for those.Quote:

They look like large chopsaws, but have the water basin and pump connected to it.
You could probably rent them from Home Depot or wherever, they're not gonna be worth you purchasing.
If you rent one, be sure to ask for a new blade.

it looked kinda like this but it was older and bigger.
aaaaaaajajaa i'm gonna go to hell for laughing about that. i felt so bad for him.
use your tools wisely people!!!
Its a belt sander, Miso. I remember using one in shop class as a teenager. We just have a puny hand held sander.
You're brave to want a table saw. We have one, but only my husband uses it. Tho I've helped him cut big pieces, I'm a little afraid of it. We have this whole emergency shut off procedure & my son knows to stand where its safe (away from kickouts) when its being used. A good tool, but I hate it.
For those who know, I am scared of band saws too. Too much like a butchers blade. Ewww.
Thanks Fras & Vash.Quote:

I guess we could just draw on the pieces that need cutting & take them to HD. That's where we bought the paving stones from.
Renting tools, lol. I remember we replaced some lineoleum once. We rented one of those heavy rollers to smooth the adhesive (if you ever do this, DO get the roller its nearly impossible to do a good job without). Anyway, the damn thing was so heavy, it practically flipped our tiny hatchback over, lol.
That's b/c you don't own your own place. When you do, you'll start to take pride in being able to replace your own faucets & drywall. ;)Quote:

No. I'll take pride in hiring someone else to do that while I eat microwavable burritos in my underwear.
I'm not afraid of table saws, but chain saws? I won't go near them.Quote:

I was a chain sawyer in Americorps.
Learned how to use, and maintain them.
One chainsaw I used back in Philly didn't have a chain brake. I finished cutting off a branch, I was holding it with my right hand, let it swing by my side before it finished whirling down, sliced right through 2 layers my pants, the last layer being the back side of my pocket.
Lemme see if I can find the picture...

Score, I found the one of me shirtless, too.
Anyway, that was 2 years ago.
Hey Fras, I have a tool you can add to your collection ;)
JK!!
Well, I hope it requires two hands to operate and vibrates violently.Quote:

Frasbee - your picture isn't showing up for me. bummer.
Anyway - yup. That's exactly why I won't go near a chainsaw. One careless moment with one of those can easily cost you a limb.
