    thanks for the post- I had a very bad experience with a Porter Cable PCC 661. I hit an unseen fence staple and the saw ceased up. There wasn't anything on the exterior showing why it died so I did an autopsy and found the motor was much stronger than the quality of gears. So instead of the saw just stopping when it glanced the cheap staple, the inside gear had pieces come off. That lead to fragments of no less than 4 high spots on the gear coming off and leaving the scrap metal in the gear box and a worthless gear. The tool had only been used a few times and was now useless.

    I'm on my second set of these tools. The first set was stolen along with the rest of my tools two years ago. I use them daily. I wouldn't own any other tools than Milwaukee! They have great power and torque, and the 5.0 ah batteries last a long time! The battery hammer drill will drill holes in concrete just as well as my corded hammer drill! Add the fact that Milwaukee has the largest line of M18 tools than other manufacturers, you can't go wrong with these tools!!.

    Bill, I wanted to thank you again for the video you put together for us wood working hobbyists. I'm retired US Navy and I always find myself doing things. Since I'm a big fan of the bourbon/whiskey and wine craft, I've taken up an interest in building with staves. I recently purchased a used five gallon barrel to flavor off the shelf clear rums. Unfortunately the barrel wasn't good enough to put rum into it because I soaked the barrel and did a couple fills of boiling water to seal her up. However, every time I poured the hot water out of the barrel, I would see an oily film on top of the discarded water so I didn't want to put a good liquid in a bad barrel and have it ruined. After seeing a few video tutorials, I cut her strategically in half and made a beautiful half barrel display that sits on my man-cave floor with books in it. I'll come up with an idea for the other half shortly. I went to Harbor Freight today and picked up an affordable compound saw, drill press, router and orbital sander to start my journey. Until next time, Navy Mark

      My own experience with the Pinewood derby was in the mid 70's.I built my car myself.Unfortunatly it didn't make it down the track very far.My lead weight was lumpy on the bottom and the track was grooved so it bottomed out mid way.Dissapointing to say the least.When I was asked to help my friend's son with his car and derby I was skeptical on our chances of winning at all let alone every race for 2 days!Over 200+ Cars were entered and the event was a 3 day schedule.

      🤣 So I was - I don't recommend that for safety considerations - but I'm pretty certain that I've drank worse in the field with the Marines and with the Boy Scouts. Neither are too careful about what goes into field coffee.

      @@30minutewoodshop I was camping with friends and after having some grown-up sodas the day turned to night, which meant my vision was limited. I got a little hungry and happened to spot a big beef jerky stick in the center of the picnic table where we were sitting. After eating half of it I said "This beef jerky is terrible!" They informed me that it was a little campfire starting brick. Oops.
