Well, it's Sunday. Tomorrow is Monday. Sorry for stating the obvious. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Today I got bored and felt like giving the RMD a little workout. I really haven't done to much with the RMD (well actually if you count digging a whole 5+ inches deep in a cedar tree then I have done something).
I got some boards from the last palette destruction that I did. I felt like working the tip (don't know why but the tip on this knife has done more work than the edge).
Here we go!
Getting some pretty good sized splinters popping out.
After a quick minute or two I got all the way through.
Tip is still fine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
The dug a pretty decently sized hole in the board.
WHOOO!!!!
Let's do it again!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
After another quick minute the tip made it to the other side.
The aperture wasn't large enough so I went at the wood some more. This happened:
WELL THAT WAS A FAILURE!!!!
But the tip is still good. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

This RMD is crazy good at digging in wood.

In another minute the RMD punctured through.

The pomelo was exceptionally good. It was very sweet and tangy with a slight hint of papaya (an odd characteristic in this one particularly). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Enjoy!
