The Traditional Breast Drill (1)
on Toolmonger: The Week In Tools (63) permalinkWay before electricity and power tools, woodworkers were drilling holes with hand-powered tools like the breast drill. Skipping over the obvious 7th-grade jokes, old-timers once reached for this drill to get a good start and a clean hole. This breast drill can handle a bit with a shank up to 5/16″. You operate the drill with both hands, resting the pillow-end — and we use that term loosely since it more closely resembles a gun ...Shared by Kevin (117)Contribute comment

Dealmonger: Starrett 298 Key Seat Clamps $34 (1)
on Toolmonger: The Week In Tools (63) permalinkAll2ools.com is selling the Starrett 298 key seat clamp set for the lowest price we’ve found, $34.34. This pair of small clamps attaches to your steel rule so you can scribe an accurate parallel line along a round workpiece, for cutting keyways and other layout tasks. Now the price is typical of Starrett, and you can often find used sets much cheaper on eBay, etc. But we’ve yet to find a better tool for the ...Shared by Kevin (117)Contribute comment

Just A Plane Screwdriver (1)
on Toolmonger: The Week In Tools (63) permalinkLeave it to Lee Valley Tools to sell a tool you didn’t know you needed till you saw it on their website. They designed the plane screwdriver to fit that otherwise-awkward cap iron screw on your plane — you know, the one with the slot so wide the only screwdriver you have that comes close to fitting it is three feet long. Lee Valley uses a large bubinga knob for the grip and a turned-brass ...Shared by Kevin (117)Contribute comment

Goodbye, Strap Wrench! (1)
on Toolmonger: The Week In Tools (63) permalinkTalking about when to change your oil and what oil filter to use can spark arguments where both sides defend their positions with religious fervor. Nevertheless, let’s forget about the marketing hype for a minute and recognize K&N for their simple innovation that should be standard on all oil filters: they’ve eliminated the need for special filter wrenches by welding 1″ nuts to the top of their automotive and marine filter canisters and 17mm nuts ...Shared by Kevin (117)Contribute comment

Mind you, this is the same Kevin Rose who notoriously claimed that a generation one iPhone would launch in both CDMA and GSM versions with a pair of batteries and slide-out keyboard. Uh hem.

Kevin Rose iPod Rumors: Price Cut, New iTunes 8.0 Features and Tall, Rounded Nano [Rumor] (14)

("It looks pretty cool.") He says that not only will the new iPod nano be tall and skinny and giant-screened like we've heard, he says it'll be rounded (like iPhone 3G's ass-side, but all the way around), and even provides this handy rendering.

Mac minis Turned Into Other Fetish Boxes People Drool Over [Mac Mini] (20)

Hideo Takano is one of those people, transforming the little fetish block into other boxes people obsess over: an over-sized Lego block for Apple-loving manboys to dream of building a Mac minizord, and a cute little gas can for pyromaniacs.

"The intruder was able to sign a small number of OpenSSH packages," in what seemed like an attempt to place something into the company's downloadable enterprise software packages.

Cyan porting Myst to iPhone (28)
