Been using this for exterior applications in Florida, a very tough environment for wood outdoors. So far...

Ken,

How about Cypress? Inexpensive, domestic, plentiful, good outside, not bad to work with.....

These are my 3 must haves:

These are the next 3 I really, really...

Thank you for having a huge set of ....(courage?).....to make that video. NOW DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!

Why can't you scrape away some of the finish to bare wood where the trim will go? A cabinet scraper, small paint scraper, or even a chisel or plane iron would work. You wouldn't need much overall...

Are you familiar with Hank Gilpin's work? His take on wood usage is very refreshing, I've had similar ideas for a long time; there is no bad wood:...

What is the actual diameter of the blade? I'd bet all your 10" blades aren't actually 10". They will get smaller as they are sharpened. That is weird though, I've had to adjust out for a lot of...

I've had the benefit of using a SawStop since early 2006 in a commercial setting where there are multiple users. We have had many activations in the almost 5 years with the saw and to my recollection...

Try looking at the 3M website for VHB tape. All different kinds.

Jed,
A big air compressor that will power nailers & staplers as well as a spray gun is a must. What about all the hand held power tools you'll need?
I would set aside $$ for all the tooling that...

As far as programs go, I have found Cut List Plus to be essential for the planning of large jobs. It excels as a sheet goods optimizer. It used to be that I would spend a lot of time drawing layouts...

I would go for the most powerful saw I could afford. I've used a SawStop 5hp ICS at work since 2006, what a beast. We are looking at adding another one to replace an old Delta. The new one will be 3...

I've used many different saws over the years. SawStop would be my first choice right now. It is, in my opinion, the best of the American style "Unisaw" class of saws made today.
Besides, the only...

If you can befriend your local cabinet shop folks and if they happen to buy from these guys, http://www.dixieply.com/miami.shtml, you may be able to buy from them on a cash, courtesy basis. Shhhh,...

Peter,

Your thoughts are in line with the direction in which I am leaning. One of the main problems is when you retro fit a machine with non factory parts you open yourself up to liability...

Dan,
Yes you are correct that I'm looking for what would be the closest thing to a riving knife for that saw. Just as you suspect the geometry of the saw doesn't allow for a knife to travel with the...

A guy who works for me took a pretty nasty kick back off of our Delta RT-40 table saw a couple of days ago. After reviewing the incident, its pretty clear one of the main reasons for it was the...

That's a mistake that is only made once.

Hello,

I'm new to these forums, might as well jump right in.

I was taught to prepare edges for glue ups that way as well. The theory is that the ends of the boards will shrink at a higher...
