I'm looking a birthday present for the wife. Was thinking about a sawing machine, and i came across Bernette Sew&GO8. It looks kinda cool. I mean for a sawing machine. Anyone has experience with those?
😊
I in all seriousness have my wife a sanding machine for her birthday! She is in furniture restoration, I am more of a constructive carpenter.
@useless_idiot don't tempt me. I'm already thinking about getting her a jointer. She's not into woodworking at all, but she's not dumb. She can learn new skills, right? 😂
Start with showing her some videos about upholstering old furniture!
My wife really wanted to get an compressed air tracker! But she didn’t realize you need a compressor for that 😂. And the shed is already exploding with tools. She would love a jointer though, as it would help making awesome build-in cabinets!

@useless_idiot @ThatCrazyDude if you already have makita batteries, the electric tackers and pin nailers are quite good imho. more expensive than compressed air versions though.
@bonifartius @useless_idiot well, it all depends how much nailing you have to do. I mean, batteries are kinda heavy. That's why people generally go for pneumatic nail guns if they do any kind of serious work
@ThatCrazyDude @useless_idiot if i'd be doing it all day every day i'd get pneumatic stuff too. whats nice about the electric stuff is that you just can pull it out, insert a battery and are good to go.
i certainly wouldn't get a compressor for diy semi professional upholstery. hell a manual tacker should do in theory :)
@ThatCrazyDude @useless_idiot serious trades people i know also do use many battery tools now, like chainsaws. right tool depends on the job and what you need :)
