Biscuits…I used do plate joining all the time. Now the Kreg Jig and Pocket Hole Screws are my first choice in many situations.
Hammer Drill…Now that I have a rotary hammer, the hammer drill is just a mud mixer.
Some tools I used to use regularly are now collecting dust.

IIRC, it was a gadget intended to use your drill motor to remove putty from a broken window. It consisted of a sort of router bit with a long shaft, and a bearing and handle near the business end.

When i was young i worked only with old guys, They always used folding rulers, I still have the habit of haveing one in the truck, I remember they would call out measurements as 6 foot 6 foot 6 foot 6inches, I have all my yankess but when doing trim still use the little yankee like drill for predrilling holes so the wood does not split, You know the kind with bits in the handle, I have cordless drills but the batteries always go out when most needed
I hardly use my pneumatic framing and finish guns. Ever since I gave into the temptation to go all Paslode gas guns, I haven't unrolled a hose for my old senco finish gun in over a year and a half. and the Framing gun I used to use at least 3x a week is now used maybe 3x a year on bigger projects.
Also, my brother (and partner in crime) bought a 8 1/2" DeWalt SCMS, relegating my 12" to the garage where it is fed warm soup and biscuits just to keep it breathing.
3 years ago, I bought a 14oz Stiletto hammer...swore never to pick up my old 20 oz Vaughn unless it was to tear into plaster. 7 mos ago, I bought the small 10oz ( I think) Stiletto finish nailer and my once steady playmate 14 oz just sent me a certified letter filing for divorce....stating "neglect, abandonment and misuse..."

Have to look that one up. The SCMSs have gotten so big and hefty that they remind me of those fine radial arm saws. We had one on a trailer - it was like a crew-served weapon.The ToolBear

man, you ain't kidding about the weight of the 12"....heavier 'n he11! I have mine mounted to a delta sidekick stand at least so it's not so bad to move around, but at that rate it just takes up way to much space.I love the 8 1/2" saw with the exception that it only bevels one way. but it is a small price to pay for it's weight and use.knowledge without experience is just information....

I used to do mostly punch list work for a builder and could be working on three different houses per day. Pasolode finish nailers were great for that (I had an old black model). I also installed blocking and drywall backing that the framers missed, etc. The Impuse framing gun was perfect for that kind of thing. I used to be able to do most of my work with out cords and hoses.This last Spring I sold off my Paslode stuff. I use so many pneumatic guns now that I seldom used the Paslode. 23 ga. pinner, narrow crown stapler, coil nailer all use air...since I have to use a compressor for those tools, I'm back to hoses.If you make it down here, I'll give you some nails for your guns. : )I have an old steel Estwing framing hammer that is just for demo now...Titanium is just too sweet.
my Estwing steel framer has been demoted to form removal. The claws are shorter now and the head is getting rounded...LOL, someday, it will be a true club!

Corded drills in general.....save the rotary hammer you mentioned.
5' step ladder....between my "Gorilla" work platform, and my rolling baker, working off of a step ladder seems downright dangerous.
I too have fallen in love with the Kreg pocket hole jig.....though not to the point to abandon my biscuit joiner. Sometimes I actually use them in tandem.

I agree about step ladders. Those work platform/benches are almost all I use to reach things...I leave the ladder at the shop most days.
Have not set up my well drilling rig for 3 years.
Probably like many others, there are 3 9.6 V Makitas hardly get used.
Have not needed to attach the 30 foot crane to the back of the dozer for about 10 years.
Cedar Shingle hatchets have hung unused for about 10 years also.
Since the state jacked the license fee for trailers from $8 to $45, have not licensed 2 extra trailers that used to be ready to go to gather in those priceless freebies.
'bout everything else gets used except for some antiques. One anvil has not been used for awhile as it is still bolted to the well drill rig as a counterweight<G>
How we gonna get that well drilling rig up onto the back of my acre ? ;o)

Once you get everything battened down...Leave it that way for a couple weeks.We have another pineapple express due to come through here this weekend. It was a pineapple express that caused this last flooding.The river is already up to what I recognize as at or near flood stage as I write. I have a feeling that even if it rages as badly as it did before, we will not see as much damage. Partly because so much has been permanently lost already, and partly because TPTB will know better what to do, and will get it done faster this time.

then called my parents in Boston, told them to update their will and life insurance policy...
Anyway, you would think there would be a couple of scientist in a room somewhere trying to figure out how to disarm the situation since from what I remember they said it was pretty much just a matter of time as to when it would happen.

How far are you from Ranier? Heard the park there got damaged pretty badly.
As Tim Holt told Walter Huston in The Treasure of Sierra Madre, "the worst ain't so bad when it finally happens."
I am up in Stevens pass. A long way from Rainier.I heard Hood had a lot of damage as well.

Thanks.
From what I saw of it in October it's very understandable how that much damage could easily occur with the rain they had there.
As Tim Holt told Walter Huston in The Treasure of Sierra Madre, "the worst ain't so bad when it finally happens."
After all that, I'm glad you are ok, & still with us!
My own property is high. Nut not quite what you would call dry. LOLThe only damage I have is with the water washing out the drive, damage from trees falling because of the soft ground and high winds, and damage from theives. (They broke the locking gas caps on the vehicles I have here, to steal the gas from them.)

How about the wooden screw type clamps that just seem to hang there.....or when was the last time you grabbed the Yankee screwdriver?
Hey look at me..... I'm waving my hand...... I'll take those clamps! I'm a custom furniture maker, among other things. I've got maybe 30 of those clamps (in all sizes) and sometimes that isn't enough.
The good old Yankee! Back in the day there were no battery drills or power on job sites. No such thing a pre-hung door, window layouts were Boston or New York style, it was a while before Phillips head screws were available. Nothing like a Yankee on a slot head. I'm glad I don't have to peel out the Luftkin red end all day.Beat it to fit / Paint it to match
I need a new bit for my Yankee...can't buy them locally anymore. Sometimes they are still handy.

I don't know, I stocked up twenty years ago, just before my Yankee seized up and I starteed using cordless drill/drivers
Welcome to the Taunton University of Knowledge FHB Campus at Breaktime. where ... Excellence is its own reward!
Check out Garrett Wade tool catalog, they have bits for the Yankees as well as a hex adapter for the larger Yankee drills that allows you to use any standard hex-shank bit with one. It's worth its' weight in gold if you still like using a Yankee drill. Mine is coming out of retirement for that adapter alone.
thanks..

All those bench planes...is there a scrub plane among them? I've been looking &looking for one to do a little work to blend into my 300 - year old house.
Ahh, I pared my handplane collection down to about 8, 2 or 3 that I use weekly at least.
Anyway, my scrub plane isn't much used, but I love it when I do use it- it's just a heavy #4 plane with an extra blade- the extra blade was ground to a about a 4' radius, and the chipbreaker is set way back. works absolutely great for removing stock fast.
To get a nice radius on a plane blade, clamp the blade to a 1x2 about 4' long. put the end on the floor, and hold it in one place with your foot or something, while the blade is hitting a grinding wheel at the right angle. pivoting the blade-on-a-stick will create a nice radius. Go slow, and dip the blade in water often. You'll probably want to mark the pivot point so you can keep the radius right.zak

Yes, I have the Stanley #40 scrub plane. I actually did use it last year come to think of it. You can easily make your own scrub plane with an old wooden transitional type (they work best), just by widening the throat a bit and grinding the blade to a curve.All of those planes including scrub planes are available on E-bay.

I was sitting in my doctor's waiting room, and this guy came back inside, saying he'd left the lights on in his car during his appt.
I said I have cables, and gave him a jump. It seems I do that kind of thing a couple of times a year, more than enough reason to keep them in my truck.
Did I know you back in the day? I remember loading up my field car with throwing sized rocks, and when the other guys got on our tail, we just stopped in the trail and threw rocks at 'em.

common sense...
i figured since no one eles was use'n it i'd quit use'n it too
p
Corded drills, except for a roto hammer once in a while, and a hole hawg for mixing mud if I've got a large batch to do. And I use my cordless drill about 75% less since I got an impact driver.
Single bit competition style ax- ah, that tool used to be in my hands 10 hours a day. Kept razor sharp. I miss it.
Same with a 6' felling crosscut saw, and a nice true-temper pulaski.
Then there was a period where I spent lots of time with a spud wrench, an impact wrench, or a 7" grinder in my hands. Don't use those much these days, but working with steel sure gives you an idea about how to move heavy stuff around, and make it go where you want it to.

Golfing? What a silly game. Grown men chasing a little balls with expensive titanium clubs on million dollar lawns.
Now fishing , that's my game. Different types of grown men in multi $100K fishing boats chasing inexistent fish and throwing $100 plastic baits at them.
I figger it's more like you anglers try to outsmart some stupid fish
while us golfers try to outsmart some stupid ball
sometimes I'm not sure who's more pathetic
<G>
I see..
so now yur saying thet it's a tuff number you to be smarter than that little ball..
have an extra bowl or two..
it should help...

My guys used to use Hilti TE-76's to drill 1 1/2" holes in concrete for mudjacking. Now I replaced them with Pionjar rock drills. What used to take a minute and a half to drill now takes 10 seconds. On large jobs, like apartment complexes, where we drill 400+ holes, What A Time SAVER!!
