Latest Projects:
Cutting up and cleaning up limbs and debris from Hurricane Delta. Had a window sash damaged, now repaired, otherwise I had no damaged compared to others in the neighborhood. Finished making the main door and screen door for my nephew's pool house, 2 coats of finish on it, one more coat to go. All those moldings, 60 of them, may have been the worse part of the job. Still need to make the door framing, but that shouldn't take too long. https://www.flickr.com/photos/438361...in/photostream The new doorway will replace this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/438361...in/photostream Had a nice upholstery job, paid about $2K, so I bought a wood threader from Fine Tools: 50mm, item 301865 @ $861.21 + $159 Euro. Never thought about it when making the order, but discovered later an additional $60 US for import fee. It's to arrive today. https://www.fine-tools.com/gewind.html Sonny |

BTW, the $159 Euro fee was for shipping, though you may have reasoned that. Sonny |

Maybe, since large threaders are not so readily available, folks just don't inquire or mention the need. Since these are so expensive, I think I'd have a user come to my shop and they do the work. I'd charge a fee for the tool use. I need to learn the tool, see how easy/hard it is to work with, before establishing a rental-use or threading service procedure/policy. This threader set is a birthday gift to myself, along with a new power washer due to arrive tomorrow. https://www.lowes.com/pd/PowerBoss-3...ARB/1002651200 Sonny |

You could keep a small inventory of parts to sell or have custom orders. Keep us informed how this thing works. ;~) |

It needed immediate replacement whether there was a hurricane or not. |

It needed immediate replacement whether there was a hurricane or not. LOL. You've misunderstood. Nephew bought this old farm 5-6 months ago. The pool house was built poorly in the first place. I'd been working, off & on, on the door for maybe 2 months. We refinished his son's bedroom wood floor and I built him a TV cabinet/desk with some old salvaged long leaf pine, also. Scroll right for 2 more pics. https://www.flickr.com/photos/438361...in/photostream Nephew and son razed the old falling-apart barn and will build a new one. https://www.flickr.com/photos/438361...posted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/438361...posted-public/ I haven't heard that they had storm damage, but I'll see when I go (hopefully) next weekend to install the door.... that's the plan.
