The Ingersoll Rands were great saws in their day. I had one on a panel saw until I got rid of my shop a few years ago.
We moved on from those for framing when the Makitas came out, the same time carbide blades became affordable.
Less money, less weight and those thin carbide blades lasted for weeks instead of a couple days as long as you didn't do something stupid.

As an apprentice carpenter I learned how simple it was to sharpen a dull saw blade with a mill file in just a few minutes. Sharpening your own tools was considered an essential skill......and every carpenter had a sharpening stone in his toolbox.........not the case these days.
Couple more kitchen pics

We have so many houses to finish right now....I'm having a hard time keeping up. My hands are feeling the pain from overuse and abuse of 46 years in this profession. I love my job...but the clock is ticking....

I hear you Bob, nice clean work there.
I'm going 7 days a week trying to keep up myself. 4-5 jobs going right now and looking at more, I'll take it when it comes

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Slip.....it's great that you so are busy, but be sure to make some time for yourself to unwind. It seems like a lot of guys are taking every job they can right now......thinking that the bubble is going to burst....that this roaring economy has to slow down.
We are selling houses in the high $300's at a pace I have never seen before. Working class buyers confident about the direction of the economy under our present leadership. |

Well....the alternative is to paint it with a brush.... the painter felt masking off the stained treads and handrail ...for spraying....saved time overall.
I'll get a pic of the completed job...I put up some of the work in progress for realism.
Little kitchen i'm finishing up.

in the houses we used to build the rails would always get finished beforehand. If at all possible the finish guy could get all the stair parts, posts,skirts and risers done then the painter would spray it all without the treads in place. Had 3 coats of finish on the treads before they went in place also. Did the 4th coat at the very end. Very rarely did any of our floors get stained, always clear coated. |

Good idea to bring your fishing gear with you .....the road from oak bluffs to edgartown has a few good outflows that should be honking with the tides the next few days.... if you finish your install early and have a chance to fish.
I worked on the islands a lot... taking the ferry out of woods hole with truckloads of cabinetry and millwork. Flew out of NB on cape air lots of times too....weighing the plane to the max with our tools. I didn't mind it at all...but some of our guys were scared #^&#^&#^&#^& of flying in those small planes.

Flying from NB to work on the Islands was a big time saver, especially when we renovated MV airport terminal.
On nice days, it was amazing looking down at some of the places I have fished, worked and lived. On bad days it was a rough ride, fog was a problem and sometime flights delayed. I remember looking out the window and not seeing the runway....then feeling the tires touch down.
There was a guy I didn't like very much, a real douche bag, and a bully, loved to watch him squirm and sweat when we hit turbulence.
I would tell him "dont worry" " it's over quick if we go down"  |

Another small kitchen going in....painted cabinets are getting chosen over natural or stained wood more often, white and gray in particular.
Flooring will be prefinished oak with a charcoal stain...natural oak not as popular as it once was too.

House is a raised ranch so all the cabinets had to be carried up a looong flight of stairs first thing yesterday morning.....I was tired after that....but recovered quickly and got these installed before lunchtime.
Blue grey...painted cabinets gaining popularity.
Also trending is the stainless steel hood fan over the cooking range....instead of the combination microwave oven/fan.
We install the ductwork for the fan before sheetrock goes up....it has to be placed accurately....to be dead center with the range.

I might not be doing the stair finishing much longer due to advancing arthritis in my hands....buttoning my pants and tying my shoes is painfull enough....I have a co-worker who is ready to take over the job. |

Did 5" crown in a few rooms in our home. What a pain when you have a cathedral ceiling and strange corners. I got it done but had to use my coping saw on every joint. |
No boat, back in the suds.

Working with a new kitchen cabinet supplier/designer. I like the Fabuwood cabinets he sells.... he is also a very skilled cabinet maker....does some really great custom work in his shop.
But the plan he provided was a little sketchy.....maybe the reason one of my co workers missed the hood vent location by three inches.
