| Do you ride scooters or have you had an
interest as to why so many scooters are running around lately? Scooter sales
have skyrocketed over the last few years with no end in sight, and for good
reason. Scooters today offer everything most could want in a motorcycle and
more; highway speed, ease of use, comfort, weather protection, great fuel
economy, low insurance costs and the list goes on. Scooters are converting
many non-riders, luring them from their cars to the more practical and
adventuresome scooter. Free

 Why
promote scooter travel? Somehow our society has come to embrace large,
expensive, and less fuel efficient vehicles. Even motorcycles have become less
practical as they get more outrageous with huge engines. Consequently, scooters
have become one of the last motor vehicles that's still easily affordable to
purchase.

I have to admit that I am sharpening challenged.Sometimes I get it right and other times I mess up big time. This machine definately takes the guesswork out of sharpening tools. I use it mainly for my lathe tools, but it does a fantastic job on chisels also. ...
As advertized the WS2000 is easy to use and puts a nice edge on wood working tools. The purchase through amazon was on time, I'm happy....
I've only had a chance to sharpen my chisels with it so far but it works great. Looking forward to using it for other tools and blades that I have....
It works pretty much as advertized. Very usefull to have around the house. The only slightly negative comment I might mentioned is that sometimes the fine sand paper disk tears too easily. An improvement I can think of is that a more permanent disk be devised rather than using sand paper disks would make this tool a 100 % must have....
I started sharpening my chisels and got them done so quick that I looked for more things to sharpen....
Really, all those weak moments where I grabbed the cheaper hand plane or bargain chisels have just about paid off. Usually it's just counted as a frustrating loss of time and money, but I put that HD block plane blade through the WS2000 and I covered the floor with walnut shavings in just a few minutes. Does it get any cheaper than HF? I put their 7 dollar set of chisels through and I was able to curve stop my huge chamfered edge. Admittedly, it did work better with my slightly more expensiv...
This tool is the best sharpening tool I have ever used. I don't know how I got along with out it....
the WS2000 sharpener made my chisels sharp quickly. My lawn mower blade was also easy to sharpen. I really like this!!...
I was debating on getting this or the WS3000. I decided(or rather, my budget decided) to try the smaller model. I was not disappointed. I'm sure the WS3000 has some more advanced features I could use, but the WS2000 works just fine for my small shop. The edge vision wheel makes it easy to put a sharp edge on my lathe turning chisels. The chisel port works great, also. The first thing I sharpened was a cheap old chisel I use to scrape glue. After a few minutes it was razor sharp.
If you ha...
I posted a video review at my blog: affyx.com
The WS3000 is probably a better product, but I think you get 80% of the WS3000 for 50% of the price by going with the WS2000 - so a lot of bang for the buck, but definitely more suited towards amateurs like me.
I have never set hands on the Veritas Mk II system, but based on its larger disc (allowing flattening the bases of larger planes and more flexibility) and it's micro-bevel capabilites, it's probably worth the $89 bu...
I was a bit skeptical about this product. When I received the WS2000 for Xmas, I decided to watch the video on the website before I tried to use the tool. That was a good decision. I have sharpened all my yard tools as well as some wood chisels. It works great....

The scooter
- the short history of a cultural icon
The scooter was invented in 1947 as a low cost alternative to the
automobile in war-ravaged Europe ?it was designed as transport for the masses
and it caught on so quickly that it became one of the great transport phenomena
to sweep the world in the 20th century. The Vespa was the result of Enrico Piaggio's determination to create a viable
alternative to the automobile for the masses. As the war drew to a close, Enrico
studied every possible solution to get production in his plants going again.

sunday may 24th 2009 will be the 20th anniversary of the release of indiana jones and the last crusade.i was fortunate to see this movie openeing evening with my mom and my grandpa(my dad had to work that night).to this day one of the greatest movies ever made.what makes this movie great is the characters and the story.harrison ford plays indy as a mans man not a weak babling dweeb as so many men are presented in movies and tv today.he plays indy as a smart,tough, but decent man who would do any...
This item was for my husband. He has already enjoyed it a couple times since we received it. No complaints heard from him, so must be OK....
This has to be by far the best out of all 4 of the Indiana Jones movies. Lots of action scenes, and actually has some pretty funny scenes, with Indy constantly arguing with his father. Harrison Ford, and Sean Connery both did a great job with their acting....
Harrison Ford ("Indiana Jones") and Sean Connery make an excellent team. Connery plays Jones' father. The two banter back-and-forth the whole movie and are fun to hear.
I'm not familiar with the female lead, Alison Doody, but she made an attractive blonde German. Of note, River Phoenix plays a teenage Jones in the beginning of the film.
The story, like the other Indiana Jones films, is loud, especially with the soundtrack. The music, at times, almost drowns out some of the...
My family throughly enjoyed this movie,..My grandchildren , now another generation that will love this series.......
What an excellent wrap up to this trilogy. And what a complete repentance from "Temple of Doom" I might add. In "Last Crusade", Steven Spielberg reverts back to taking the Indiana Jones saga seriously, and ends it with a bang. <p>The introduction of Indiana's father, and his relationship with Indiana as an 'odd couple', was brilliant. It gave the movie a serious tone with the calculated injections of humor that Harrison Ford superbly masters in most of his films. <p>This one you...
The third and more than likely the best of the Indiana Jones sage brings the archaeologist fighter hero full circle from the Palaces of the tropical jungles of India, back to the now Nazi controlled Germany and the deserts of the Middle East and is a return to the atmosphere of "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" but with a slightly more Apocalyptic feel. Sallah and Marcus Brody are also back after their absence from "The Temple of Doom". The adventure begins with a large Nazi band lead by the villain lea...
"Raiders" is probably the best Indiana Jones, but "Crusade" is my personal favorite. Lucas and Spielberg regrouped after the underwhelming "Temple of Doom" (a little too violent and way too kiddish for Jones) to craft this action great. Chock full with more Nazis, rousing action sequences, and sarcastic, sometimes tounge-in-cheek humor and noticably more character development than the first two. And seriously, who better to play Indiana Jones' father than Sean Connery? He gives a hilarious, ...
