I'll second John on the UDM pro. @garyg, I'm a little confused on your statement of control over the router. I'm going to assume you are referring t...

I've been trying to figure that out for years now. Anymore, I spend an unreasonable amount time comparing the CAD file with what little information I...

Back on the OP, I just finished off my last box of 3/4" PK nails a couple of weeks ago. If you are interested Mark, it is marking a retaining wall al...
