I will confess: One among my favourite reveals is “The New Yankee Workshop,” which I watched when it aired proper after “This Previous Home.” Although it has been off the air for a couple of years, I nonetheless often will watch an episode on YouTube, comforted by Norm Abram’s New England accent and flannel shirts.
I have not dabbled in woodworking all that a lot — however that is about to alter, as a result of I simply picked up the DeWalt 12-in 15-Amp Twin Bevel Sliding Compound Corded Miter Noticed for $399 at Lowe’s, the place it is presently $230 off its common value.
This is not a Prime Day deal — this noticed will probably be on sale by means of August 6 — nevertheless it appeared too good a deal for me to go up.
I’ve lengthy had my eye on a miter noticed — I haven’t got a ton of room in my home, and I am uninterested in having to make use of a handsaw and miter field to chop trim items.
Nonetheless, I might by no means actually justify the value of the miter noticed I actually needed. I needed one with a twin bevel. Meaning you may angle the blade on each the vertical and horizontal planes. I additionally needed a sliding mannequin, so I might minimize bigger items of wooden.
Now, I am not going to arrange a furnishings store in my storage, however I do need to have the ability to do issues like construct some shelving, an out of doors stand and storage for my pizza oven, and possibly even a brand new hearth mantle.
I could not justify the expense of the DeWalt at its common value of $629, however at its sale value of $399, it appeared too good to go up. Plus, I will study a couple of new abilities alongside the best way, and save me from shopping for issues which might be already constructed.
Simply bear in mind: Measure twice, minimize as soon as.
