I thought about that, and really, if you think about it, you get a rough

That depends entirely on the quality of the bandsaw and the bandsaw blade.

Really? What make and models BS and blade cuts glue up quality joints?
That is not the purpose or design of any BS or blade I know, and even
if it could be done, it just isn't, far as I can tell. It's the wrong
tool for the job, and he definitely has the right tool, a high quality
table with sliding table.

any, is very marginal, and made up with time savings and accuracy.

He has thought about it and decided that it is cost effective.

I reckon. I thought about too, and still say it is the wrong tool for
the job.

He ran a production shop and started out with regular "hobbyist" tools and
did quality work. As his sales increased - I have ordered one of his boards
- he put the money back into better, and larger tools. And, if Festool
makes a tool he needs - he has it and considers it a good investment.

A few people do. No doubt, as I mentioned a zillion times Festering
tools are all good quality, as are lots of others. You noticed said I
mentioned festering tools just to play a little with Leon. Has nothing
at all to do with using a BS to cut glue joints...

He has now expanded into a small factory and has a retail store in Moscow.
He seems to know his business, and what he is doing since he is making money
and expanding.

Good for him. Hope he makes more than cutting boards...

Moreover, Scott is right. With the right bandsaw and the right blade -
assuming that the saw is tuned-up properly - one would be hard pressed to
tell the difference in cuts.

Possibly, but it is still the wrong tool for the job. I have a high
quality BS. What blade would you suggest that works well, and provides
a finished cut ready for glue up? I don't recall, but is he not sanding
his band sawn pieces for glue up? Possible I reckon, but highly, highly
unusual.

I doubt that Festool stays in business supplying a Status/Prestige market.
They stay in business because they supply a high quality tool that performs
its intended task exceptionally well - and for a long time.

YMMV, and obviously does.

No, my mileage is the same, I know festering tools are quality tools,
just over priced. If you're in a production shop, tool price is not a
big issue, but even then, their are even better industrial grade tools
that are better, more durable than Festering tools. I certainly don't
need a $600 vacuum cleaner in my shop, but would use it occasionally if
one were donated to me. Same with any of their tools. BTW, Scott
Phillips uses festering tools too, and also uses the BS for the wrong
things. He is a woodworking moron!

Thank you Jack. LOL. I am familiar with this guy too. I never noticed

Jack is just jealous - Festool envy.

Jack doesn't need any festering tools to get his work done, particularly
now with his dramatic decrease in work flow. Might buy the festering
Domino if in an active shop, even though it's super over priced. More
likely would spend the money on a nice drum sander. The $600 vacuum
though would be an embarrassment to own if everyone knew what it costs.

If Jack was going to waste money on any tools it would likely be on a TS
with a sliding table, I think that would be nice. Also would like a
larger jointer with segmented, spiral cutter head. Too old to justify
any of that stuff however. Fortunately, Jack has about every tool he
needs to build cabinets, tables, chairs, clocks, lamps, bird feeders,
and whirligigs. Been there, done all that, and no longer in the mood.

"Waste" money. You're clearly clueless (but I'm not telling anyone

BTW, I don't "justify" hobbies. It's silly.

To a moron, perhaps.

I certainly don't justify anything to you. You wouldn't understand it

Whirligigs are fun though if you are old and done with large projects.

Maybe you can handle one?

Two, I made two, and they work perfectly. I doubt you could handle one,
they take a modicum of skill, something not too many morons can muster.

Wow! I'm impressed! yawn

Sometimes I just go in my shop, sit there with a coffee and think, man

Not for you but what about others?

I only give MY opinions based on MY 60 years experience in woodworking.
Are you suggesting I give someone else's opinion?

Keep in mind I didn't say no tape on earth should ever have 1/32"
markings only in the first foot, only that MY opinion is those markings
are not needed (by me, nor has any one said they are) and that it is
HARD to find a short tape w/o those damned things. Also, why aren't they
there for over a foot, or at all on tapes over 25'?

Tape measures are used for many
things aside from woodwork. Surely you recognize that others have
different needs than you.

True enough, but always used in woodwork, which btw, is the focus of
this group. People needing finer than half way between 1/16", which is
easy for any woodworker to measure accurately enough for wood work, use
other means. For example, a machinist uses dial indicators, calibers
and so on. Woodworkers mostly use tapes.

If a woodworker truly needs fine measurements less than halfway between
1/16" they should rely on machinist measuring tools, rather than using a
magnifying glass to mark between 1/32" marks, and not bother ME with
that nonsense.

Again, this is MY opinion, not someone else's.

Surely you recognize that, don't you.

I'm not picking sides, but I don't think it's fair to judge any particular

"Steven Blake Crowder is a Canadian-American conservative political
commentator, actor, and comedian. He is the host of Louder with Crowder,
a late-night style comedic television show covering news, pop culture,
and politics."

My guess, if I take "conservative political commentator" and combine it
with "actor/comedian", is that there just might be a sight slant to his choice
of "guests" for his show. (Yes, I did watch a few minutes of a few shows.)

I know lots of recent college students, including 2 daughters with 3 Masters

Yes, I agree but, the two shows I watched were outside on a college
campuses. He could choose who he interviewed, but could NOT choose the
crowd of students milling about. He actually couldn't even choose who
he interviewed, he asked anyone that would talk to him to do so. That is
lots different than the interviews regular TV types that do the man on
the street type stuff where you see 6 interviews and all of them are
ridiculous. The answers they get that they don't like, or don't fit
their agenda hit the cutting room floor. He could just be really good at
it, but I don't think so, I think he just flies with whatever he gets.

I know lots of recent college students, including 2 daughters with 3 Masters
degrees between them, a son's girlfriend who just got her PhD, and many of
their friends. Some of them are certainly more left leaning than right, but
there's not a "slovenly looking asinine loser" in the group.

That's a small group in relation to the millions and millions of college
students. Anyway, I don't recall what was going on at the schools. He
set up a table and tried to get anyone he could to talk to him. It
could have been an anti-American rally for all I know.

Crowder (and others) will show his viewers who he wants them to see on the
hope that certain general opinions will be formed. I'll bet that if he
interviewed some of the college students that I know, they wouldn't make
the...I mean...*his* cut. They just don't fit the stereotype he is trying

That's true enough I reckon. I don't watch him, just parts of a couple
shows. He is not my style, but that's what I got out of what I saw. Your
comment on a woman asking if earth worms were snakes reminded me of the
morons I've seen on campuses, and particularly college professors I've
seen on TV. I've seen students and professors in the news protesting
conservative speakers, and they look like the same losers.

When I went to college, politics was not an issue, and you got in based
on academics, not race, sex, sexual habits or whatever they do today.
Probably could get in if mommy donated a wing or two to the school.

of "guests" for his show. (Yes, I did watch a few minutes of a few shows.)

Yes, I agree but, the two shows I watched were outside on a college
campuses. He could choose who he interviewed, but could NOT choose the
crowd of students milling about. He actually couldn't even choose who
he interviewed, he asked anyone that would talk to him to do so. That is
lots different than the interviews regular TV types that do the man on
the street type stuff where you see 6 interviews and all of them are
ridiculous. The answers they get that they don't like, or don't fit
their agenda hit the cutting room floor. He could just be really good at
it, but I don't think so, I think he just flies with whatever he gets.

I know lots of recent college students, including 2 daughters with 3 Masters
degrees between them, a son's girlfriend who just got her PhD, and many of
their friends. Some of them are certainly more left leaning than right, but
there's not a "slovenly looking asinine loser" in the group.

That's a small group in relation to the millions and millions of college
students. Anyway, I don't recall what was going on at the schools. He
set up a table and tried to get anyone he could to talk to him. It
could have been an anti-American rally for all I know.

Crowder (and others) will show his viewers who he wants them to see on the
hope that certain general opinions will be formed. I'll bet that if he
interviewed some of the college students that I know, they wouldn't make
the...I mean...*his* cut. They just don't fit the stereotype he is trying
to build.

That's true enough I reckon. I don't watch him, just parts of a couple
shows. He is not my style, but that's what I got out of what I saw. Your
comment on a woman asking if earth worms were snakes reminded me of the
morons I've seen on campuses, and particularly college professors I've
seen on TV.

You must have me confused with someone else. I don't recall making any
comment related to women, earthworms or snakes.


I've seen students and professors in the news protesting
conservative speakers, and they look like the same losers.

When I went to college, politics was not an issue, and you got in based
on academics, not race, sex, sexual habits or whatever they do today.
Probably could get in if mommy donated a wing or two to the school.

The beauty to watching video's over and over is that you can catch parts

I record How the Universe Works, and Spaces Deepest Secrets. The shows
are pretty much garbage and boring, but they put me to sleep within 5
minutes. First, the videos are mostly fake, so you don't need to watch
them (videos of the big bang 14 million years ago, black holes which
you can't see, even IF they exist, and so on) This means you can just
close your eyes, and be put to sleep. I wake up in the middle of the
night, fast forward from the beginning 5 minutes (where I last fell
asleep) and wham, in minutes I'm back in dream land, and no drugs
needed. One show lasts at least a week before I delete it for a new
one:-)

You know there is a growing number of people, soon to be a majority of
people, that believe that the big bang was actually filmed as it
happened. A lot of these people are government leaders and those that
they have promised to take care of, to get their votes.

Yep, lots of complete morons around.

I was reading NextDoor, a local neighborhood information source. A
woman took several pictures of "earth worms" and asked the neighbors if
these were snakes. This is where we are headed.

I think we are there, not "headed". I watched a couple of "Louder with
Clouder" or whatever he calls his show on youtube and he goes to college
campuses and interviews anyone that will talk to him. Besides the
totally asinine views and stupidity of these left wing morons, what
stuck me even more was the totally slovenly appearance of all of them.
These kids look like losers to the nth degree, with bad attitudes, bad
personal hygiene, lack of respect for themselves and the world. A while
back there was a slogan, "the mind is a terrible thing to waste". Well,
seems our educational system combined with lousy parenting has brought
an incredible percent of our population to it's knees.


Do you mean Louder With Crowder? If so...

I reckon that's him.


I'm not picking sides, but I don't think it's fair to judge any particular
segment of society based on what you see on that show. I didn't know who
he was or what his show was about, so I looked him up:

"Steven Blake Crowder is a Canadian-American conservative political
commentator, actor, and comedian. He is the host of Louder with Crowder,
a late-night style comedic television show covering news, pop culture,
and politics."

My guess, if I take "conservative political commentator" and combine it
with "actor/comedian", is that there just might be a sight slant to his choice
of "guests" for his show. (Yes, I did watch a few minutes of a few shows.)

Did he talk to millions and millions of college students or was his sample as small
as mine?

In over 60 years of woodworking I have not found a need for those

Regardless of length, 6" or 20', I can put a mark half way

I guess they,(the morons making tapes) think accuracy is only
important in the first foot on short tapes.Â* Truth is, 1/32"
lines are mostly just an unnecessary nuisance both under and over
a foot measurements.


I had my H.F. tape measure out with me trimming hedges yesterday,
and thought of you folks and this thread. I wasn't using 32nds,
striving for a delta of 1" on either side of the porch. It's not
as easy as it sounds, the tape measure played a critical role in
my ultimate success--but what I really needed was a "transit"! I
guess in some sense I made one--if you are allowed to count
measuring off of the base of a window frame. It's not easy to
avoid "cosine error" while trying not laughing about it...

I remember my Dad trimming the hedges with scissors. We had this
kind of hedge in front of a NYC row house. Maybe 3 feet tall, 15
linear feet. This would have been too sloppy for my Dad, thus the
need for scissors.

My old tape measure is just about done. I thought I'd get a Milwaukee since I like things they make, but the reviews are not that good. What is the best 16-foot tape measure?

Thanks.
stay away from the overly gimmicky rubber molded ones. the Komelon SL2816 is nice and cheap. the craftsman CMHT37316S is a standard. take a look at the markings on the blade and you'll know right away what to stay away from. I personally like the U.S. Tape 54533, it's a 33' and perfect for me because I use the metric part to layout booths for foreign customers at the convention center. the komeleon 4930lm is also nice but 30'. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=16+tape+m...f=nb_sb_noss_1
