Actually disregard @Babysaw comments. This is is a forum for members to post.

Do not use the forum to spread disrespect to other members. Thanks, Chris.
1/2" Russian birch with hickory handles Took me 4 hours. These are for holding fence supplies. Rabbited ends, undermount 1/2" bottoms.
The Lie Nielsen 5-1/2 and the Ridgid oscillation benchtop were from my beautiful Wife for Christmas!
Just got the Bosch Flexiclick.
I figured this is the best forum for my custom raised bed project. I went camping recently and put an airmattress in the back of my Toyota. It worked out great other than having no storage underneath. I've noticed the same problem with my ladders/extension poles vs mitersaw/toolboxes etc. So I put some boards across and bought a couple sheets of 3/4 plywood and scribed them to the sides. I split it about one-third and two thirds.
College graduation gift for myself. Gonna have to one up it once I earn my Master's.
Finally mated the DCS374 saw with a SWAG Portaband Table and DeWalt DWX725B Heavy Duty Work Stand. Making my metalworking tools more portable, so that I can set them up closer to where I happen to be welding that day.
I got this Milwaukee M18 heat gun for Christmas. I used it for the first time, the last 2 days on outside corners on vinyl wall base. It is awesome. The weight of the battery makes it very stable when setting it on the floor.
DeWALT DCS355D1 20V MAX XR Oscillating Saw Kit The DeWALT DCS355D1 Type 2 20V MAX XR oscillating saw kit I purchased included a N276779 tool box with assorted parts, a 2.0Ah battery, a 2.0A charger and a tool bag. I also purchased a DWA4216 5-piece accessory kit. These two kits complement each other, with both being a great starting point for the oscillating saw. A DeWALT DWST17807 TSTAK II flat top toolbox and a sheet of 2¼" thick Kaisen foam with the perimeter that is custom-cut to the TSTAK toolbox was purchased for this tool. I used a pair of snap knives for my custom foam cuts. The DeWALT N268241 belt hook was purchased separately and added to the DCS355 tool. A M3 0.5 Nylock nut was additionally required for mounting the belt hook to the tool. That Nylock nut was scavenged from another DeWALT 20V MAX XR tool that had two when only one was required. These replies show the toolbox, foam sheet, accessory kits, knives and belt hook.

I didn't use the DCB112 2.0A charger that came with the kit and instead used a DCB115 4.0A charger from a different tool. The rough layout without the foam is shown. I found an interior toolbox side-wall tab near the planned location for the N276779 blade box, leading me to shift the position sideways slightly to clear that tab. The images show the plan view outline, the blade box draft and the actual foam cut outline. I used a Sharpie and blue painter's tape to permit marking the tool outline. Three device cuts are through the entire foam sheet, for the N276779 blade box, the DWA4216 accessory kit box and for the DCB115 charger. The sidewall cutouts are vertical on the two boxes while some of the DCB115 cutout sidewalls have slopes to match the part. The cutout for the DCS355 tool is through the entire foam sheet at the handle and the battery. The handle cutout is wider than the tool to permit grabbing the tool for removal from the foam. The cutout at the head has different depths and sloping sidewalls to match the tool. For those partial foam removal areas, the sides are cut deeper than required, then fingers are used as a "shovel" to scrape / separate the foam to the desired depth. The result is a "rough" bottom surface. The top black layer was removed from the plug, then placed into the base of the cutout. The 9mm and the 18mm snap knives were ideally suited for this foam cutting. The DCS355D1 kit includes a cut guide block and arm. That cut guide block has three (almost) orthoganal holes that permit flexibility for the cut guide arm. The images show the cut guide arm in the different orientations.
This thing is a beast. Other than the doors feeling kind of cheap, the rest of it is pretty impressive. The handle folds down, which can be helpful when needing to direct the light. My first thought was if there's a power outage in the cold, this gives you heat and a light, but you can aim the light upward instead of having it facing where you're likely sitting trying to get warm. The propane connectors both swivel outward so they're completely horizontal. Makes it super easy to attach the tanks. There are keyholes on the back in case you're using it in a small location on a jobsite or in a shop or garage. Pretty cool little unit.
Hey folks! Long time no chat, sorry I've been away a lot. Hope you like it!
I added this to my Ego collection. I really like having a bladed edger. It was basically the powerhead with the edger attachment for $129.00 without battery or charger.
I finally have one. It's an Ebay purchase from South Korea.
After priming and painting it with haze gray deck paint, I had to figure out how to carry taller items/garbage cans/etc. I came with this. Just a couple screws and I can customize it a couple different ways. Even create a lip with the closest beam.
FlexVolt worm drive ordered. Was waffling on it and the Makita rear handle but got a much better deal on the yellow one so my wallet did the talking lol.
Milwaukee Surge, 2.0 amp battery, a Large Dewalt ToughSystem box, an Easy Wood Large detailing tool for my lathe, a 12x20 piece of granite for my sharpening station and a pizza cutter kit to turn. I'll throw some pics on later 🤪 Also all of the new1/2" Router bits from Peachtree came in but I haven't even opened the box yet. My Wife bought me a two person hammock for Daddy Day. She's awesome. My Son got me an awesome "Dadman" t shirt and a neat book to read him. He loved it.
20v bradder. Brand spanking new awesome eBay score.
I picked up the new carbon fiber shaft Ego trimmer. I told myself my gas trimmer was going bad. I blame Eric and his review on the web site for pushing me over the edge.
For one down tree and then it'll probably sit for years but that's why I got battery powered instead of gas.
Ok, so what does Dewalt have up their sleeve ?
So About Them New Batteries.
Yet this was a huge complaint people had of FlexVolt. "Bu-bu-bu-but my old batteries wont work on my new toooools" as if you'd want to run a table saw or 12" mitre off ten cells anyway. The difference between systems for a daily user comes down to semantics and marketing spin.
Can't wait for him to cut two or three pieces of wood and tell us how amazing it is.
How do you keep track of your router bits?
I tracked down zip ties with flags and printed up some labels to identify which bits go into which slots. Here's the final result.
