yes sir, your not kidding. Sunday morning I couldn't get the padlock off the gate at work. Key wouldn't turn in the hole, finally I bent the key, while it was freezing cold and blizzarding out. Had to take my tow chain out and hook it on to the lock, then drive away! Then my tractor wouldn't start. We have 26 tractors, and 18 wouldn't start on monday morning. School was also closed monday due to the cold temp.Jeff Powell

It's cold enough my diesel work van won't start. And it's been plugged in since Friday. LOL Cheap way to get out of going to work ... unfortunately, work is piling up! I feel your pain Jeff.

I was complaining this past weekend because it was too cold and windy to go hiking. It was in the 40s.
There's only one response to that ...
Hey if it was in the 40s you'd see Canadians in shorts ...Ian

That was smart.Eleven degrees would feel pretty good to me right now. We went 60 some hours straight without getting above zero. It's actually a whole 1 degree here right now. A couple mornings ago the windchill was -40. Spring isn't far away now.
BTW, where did you come up with the degree symbol?

I just popped into the barn when I got home for a sec and noticed it's 33 in there. Never saw it get under 39. I had to turn on the heat to the lowest possible setting, which i think is 45. Don't want anything to freeze in there. Wood glue is ok to freeze once only. I don't know about any other products like poly's or paints. Hopefully anyone that works in a small unheated shop has already brought anything that can freeze into the house.Jeff Powell

I know it is all relative but when it is 14 degrees in Raleigh, NC you know it is cold. BTW I used to live in Plattsburgh, NY A place where every winter we had 7-10 days straight days where the high would stay below zero..... I was much much much younger thenand I guess I am getting soft.

by leehljpI haven't posted in a few months but I have been keeping up. I agree with what Mark is saying. To make everything for everyone would be very difficult. And I understand (from my wife's perspective) that computer apps are totally made for nerds - in her opinion. The breakdown is often between two of...

Reply to YoraHome Laser w/CNC Engraver/Routerby evilbadgerYes I'm still using the one I built I did some upgrades to it though. I swapped out the pipes for linear motion rails and made the gantry out of aluminum. I guess if I were to upgrade now I would be looking for a full size machine that could do 4x8 sheets of plywood with an automatic tool changer but...

by tgiro01With all these new tool stories, I was working on and old one. About 9 years ago, I built a router table. Then, before it was finished, I had to start using it. And I have used it over the years. A couple of months ago, While I was contemplating cleaning, I looked at the machine and decided to finish...
