Oh yah. The channel looks like a hockey stick with the blade side facing towards the opening and facing down.

How to tell when a Canadian is trying to describe something...

I'm betting he was signing autographs at Tim Hortons.

and drinking the sludge they call coffee. The one thing that is universally undestood as Canadian yet is a terrible beverage.

Because it's the best way to describe it.

How else would it look like? A field hockey stick? c'mon!

Also, we ARE the best at hockey.

Now we all know the Americans are best at hockey. Lol

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #35 on:** August 31, 2011, 12:54:04 AM

Right... that's why the Cup is here and not there.

I figured I would get that response. Lol. I love smurfing with people. Hehe :p
Besides I like rugby better but it's hard for people here to play that game. They keep thinking it's football and try to go in formation. Idiots. No one wants to play it, they say its too hard or where's the pads? What a bunch if smurfs.

I know! I played in a mens league for a couple of years, Right flanker. It was tough to keep up with the bruises and breaks

Rugby, a hooligan sport played by gentlemen.

Omg I didn't see this thread before now am I ever going to princess auto tomorrow. Hey Met NE or SE?

Metropolicity · **Reply #39 on:** August 31, 2011, 03:38:33 AM

I think there is 2-3 of then at the NE. I am pretty far from the SE one. When are you going?

rugby is a game I (and many other British kids) was made to play at school, normally in the dead of winter for some sadistic reason.

Any of you that have seen pics of me might have noticed that I'm not exactly built to play as a prop, so I was normally out as a winger. TBH a game I take much more pleasure in watching rather than playing.

Rugby gave me my 'unique' nose

Plastic tubs just can not compete

I live in the north end as well, hopefully going tonight after work. I haven't read this whole thread yet, what's the price like?

Beerplumber · **Reply #43 on:** August 31, 2011, 07:39:48 PM

lol I played rugby in high school, never have the time to join a local men's team these days, great game, faster paced than NFL. Hey I'm on my second tims right now...!

Michael Ryder dropped the cup when he had it. The rim of the cup is now dented.

Staying on topic, I'm going to buy one of these machinist's chest but I wish there was a Princess Auto in Toronto. The nearest locations to me are either the Newmarket or Mississauga locations but even those are pretty far from me. I guess it would be easier to have it delivered.

Metropolicity · **Reply #51 on:** September 01, 2011, 05:44:46 AM

If you are going, call ahead.

There was only one pallet here in Calgary. A pallet seems like a lot, but there were only 8 or so per pallet.

tattoosteve99 · **Reply #52 on:** September 01, 2011, 08:39:29 AM

So on to the build. I will start by saying the first one is mine. 1700s mohagany with solid hardwood plywood drawers. The two bottom drawers will have roller slides. The top ones will have oak slides. I will keep this posted as I build it. So far I have the blanks cut from 1inch boards and need to plane them down.

Ok now Its changed a little. I have walnut plywood that I am going to surround it with mohagany. I just finished planing the wood and its even more beautiful than I thought. I will upload some pics of it soon.

Beerplumber · **Reply #55 on:** September 02, 2011, 12:50:34 AM

It's not as fancy as what your building Steve but this princess awesome unit is sweet! Keeping my fly tying stuffs in it along with my multis and knives

Metropolicity · **Reply #56 on:** September 02, 2011, 01:12:18 AM

I am really digging mine.

I think soon I'll have to relocate my sheaths in the bottom drawer and put the shipment of MTs i have coming!

Coming are:

8 Charge TTis
1 Pulse
1 Crunch
1 Blast
2 Fuses
2 Cores
1 Surge.

mmmmmm

What kind of hinges does the chest have? Inside or outside?

Metropolicity · **Reply #58 on:** September 05, 2011, 06:00:34 PM

Just small one on the outside. I imagine piano hinges inset would be stronger. There are also metal corner protectors.
