So what did you buy today

[jblnut]

Generally things arrived good when..........
You use a double wall box the proper size
Double bag the item
Apply20 layers of shrink wrap
Pack well all voids with crushed farm papers and extra cardboard.
If in doubt use a can of spray foam
Use a hot glue gun or PL200 to glue all flaps shut
DO not use PL200 on overseas shipments.
Tape the box to withstand a Hiroshima type attack.

Ask @jblnut about how I pack.

Good grief. I opened the box and thought I was shipped a bunch of Christmas hams. They were very well packed !!

You should see when I use the spray foam. Sometimes I get a little over-zealous though and the box has a "bulge"

Makes sense. You’re not over charging for the saws as much as I thought, just charging a premium to ship us your trash as packing materials

It did heat the house for a few days though

Sander, both $8 motors work, but the black one does not vibrate / The flexible drive shaft is broken due to resistance on the pad bearing.

If you have the pieces, glue it together.

Trimmer filters. The dark times are upon us again.

Yeah. It’s going on the wall. That side already had a small hole but this sucks. I had it on my old back porch so it lit up with the other lights for twelve years. The other side is good.

That’s the plan. I’m going to take that side off and hang it single sided in the garage. I didn’t want to hang it until I got arranged but…

I guess you guys know which brand of pliers are the best? Knipex from Germany

I have a bunch of Knipex stuff but I couldn’t find anything that had the gripper and cutter in one. $40 for both pairs isn’t bad. These I’d say are just as nice as Knipex as far as quality. I got the Knipex hose clamp pliers and those are about $250 for the three different ones but better than the snap on ones. Money well spent when you are fighting with a lower rad hose with no good way to get in there.

I didn’t exactly buy this, but am received it in return as I’m going to get my grandpas Homie 360 running. He gave me what was my great grandfathers Homie XL12 project as payment.

you showed too much now we'll be curious about the rest

 

[maulhead]

I should have had him send it to you to get ported first like everything else

Glad it's worked well for you. My experience was completely different with him.

How about you tell everyone how you sold the saw you wanted rebuilt before I could get to it. And where I apologized for not getting to it. And then you mentioned having a 461 ported in its place and then you sold the 461.

Please, share your “bad experience with me“ to everyone here

Kumbaya

And thanks for the complete blindside

Don’t smell right to me.


I have several saws ported by Kevin. Always been happy. I had my name on his list for a long time for two more (a 272 and 288 I hadn’t rebuilt yet) and my name had come up on the list a couple times before I bought the 461 from you, so he ported it in place of the other saws. I wasn’t really in any hurry anyway, never am, but he ported it since I was up and so I could run it at Stump’s GTG. Maybe take a deep breath…
