Thanks! Next time I'm out that way I'll give you a heads-up to expect a visitor.

[/QUOTE]Oh, and BTW, be aware that, if you get the ABW approval to build that 45x45 shop, you'll be *required*...

Jim:

I'm using the Grizzly 17", which has been great for the price but still leaves me longing....But I can use a 1" blade.

do you have contact info for Iturra? They don't seem to have a web...

John: Thanks for the advice and the offer. Visiting would be great, but could set off some serious envy that I just can't handle right now! Maybe once I move out of the basement into an Arkansas...

The second task I need to complete while out of my career imposed wood hibernation is resawing a bunch of semi-green balckwalnut I've had sitting around for the winter. LOML wants it out of the side...

The shop is coming out of hibernation for two brief projects, then its back to the 24 hour career channel! But in the meantime, I can make some sawdust!

First project is some new rails for the...

Let's see, my daughter is 7 months old. I can hope that gives me at least 21 years before grandchildren. I just might figure out this woodworking thing by then so I can make something as nice!
...

Wow! At that price, the saw is a really good deal.

Buyer's remorse works both ways - you could buy a Felder, then realize you didn't need its capabilities, yet you've just paid $15k for it. If...

Tom,

I'll throw in another endorsement. It isn't a cabinet saw - and sometimes that's a good thing. Less weight, more manueverable, more power options, etc. The sliding table is really nifty (I...

Lots of good ideas here! I love my Kreg. I've used my Incra yo make through dovetails for LOML's wedging table (clay). That's only about 8" deep though. If you are looking for an excuse to buy an...

Robert & Chris:

I'm of a mixed mind on the Incra. When locked in place, front and rear, it's as solid as anything. I found that when clamping the front end to the rail it was all too easy to...

Robert:

I know some people really love their Incra TS3a, and the new LS version is an improvement. But I've taken mine off the saw and but the DeWalt fence back on. The precision is nice, but I...

Wolf,

Back in my ceramics wheel-turning days a similar thing would happen with turned pots. The lip would get thin and then some flaw in the clay would grab your finger and BAM! you had suddenly...

Thanks Dan!

Is that the DeWalt sliding table I see too?

I take it the angled support isn't attached to the table. So you just fold the support in/out and then the table hinges up and down?

Dan, please do! I can handle big files at this end.

The reason I'm considering removing the rail is because the DeWalt extension table is hard to convert to a good router table (the table uses,...

Wes, really nice shaping on the bud vase. The sharp geometry of the shower head contrasts subtly and beautifully with the curvature on the cherry. Really neat!

Very clever Mike! There's a good reason to go with contractor saws instead of cabinet saws.

Now you've got me rethinking my modest plans....

Bart, I think those are for the Incra and JoinTech fences. They both such up about 10" (maybe more?) between the mount and the fence itself.

Of course, the table could always be installed in...

Joe:

I've been doing some thinking about this issue of late. I think once you've determined what's going into the table (motor & lift mechanism, if any) the question is what's going ON the table...

Aha! Rob's got the answer...



Ok - that's what mine is for then. I knew there was something out there like this. The DeWalt fence doesn't use the rear rail for locking or alignment, but it...

Hi folks, I need your help preventing a poor decision.

In looking at my need for a better side table and an extension table (like a fixed & folding Jim Becker type), I'm wondering about that rear...

Dave:

I understand the quandary. I'm in the process of moving the router to the right side so that I might have the option of using the DeWalt sliding table.

Reviews on Amazon are mixed - some...

Hal,

I think that's the one I had briefly before moving up the GO513 so I could do some heavier resawing.

The nice thing about the Delta is the positioning of the lower blade guides, they are...

Jim, Workbench magazine has an article for you, April 2003 # 276. I've been eyeing it, planning to make the plunge soon.

It's a simple torsion box design using hardwood plywood. The design is...

My $.02... I'd be worried about using metal indoors. Seems to be variations in temperature and humidity might encourage condensation, dripping, etc. Last thing anyone needs is water in the shop.
...

Bill - keep this up and I'm going to have to start budgeting for a lathe of my own! Really nice work.
