I would not buy anything Kubota built during the pandemic. 21 & 22 built Kubotas scare me after my experience. Check the build date.

I'm expecting a follow up thread making a machined dual position latch assembly in the future. You seem like someone that would stay up at night thinking about how to get that juryrigged strap replaced 🤔. I bet it would make an enjoyable thread.

With the warm weather and rain it may be swimming with the fish at this point 🐟🐟🐟

Looks like one of those giant moose whistles to scare the big ones away.

Never seen anyone use one of those yellow straps to raise and lower a plow before 🤔. Ice is getting thin around here with all the rain.

It's to catch dust on a sander for working with wood.

Getting things constrained really helps for any changes you make in the future. Keeps features and holes aligned making changes easy. I think the full version you bought also has a bolt circle tool in the hole function. Alibre becomes less frustrating to use over time. I just designed my...

I would have made 2 angled construction lines. 72 degrees apart off the center of the part. One at 36 and one -36. Drawn circles with the center constrained to the angle line and constrained to be inline horizontally. Then add a dimension between the centers. Then just copied one 3 more 72...

I have the Grizzly version but really don't use it much. Kind of messy and time consuming to use. I prefer my Makita (no longer made) for big knives and blades along with my belt grinder with good belts for everything else. Finish with diamond stones or wet stones for most sharpening. For...

There are many species of pine and I understand that many burn it in stoves. Properly seasoned it just burns faster and creates more ash then hardwood. Not seasoned it is a big problem with creosote creation. I have several friends that burn it in outside burners with success also. I think...

We bought a Jotul Oslo 500 about 12 years ago and love it. Has heated our house every winter since without a problem other then gasket replacement on the doors. It also has the reburner tubes that keep the chimney clean and raise efficiency. Nothing like wood heat if your house layout allows for it.

I ordered a set of LED worklights from Amazon and got a stuffed dinosaur. They had me ship the dinosaur back first and then shipped out the lights after verifying it was a dinosaur. The label on it actually said LED lights. I bet someone put the label on the wrong item.
