Ummm...

I'm sure the floor is nice and all, but
the last time I played basketball OUTSIDE
was like 2 weeks before Thanksgiving!!!!!
Now it's a neverending sculptural landscape
of white...

Hi Josh,

Ahhh, the joys of home ownership!!

The easiest (well, less messy) way of removing drips
is just to carefully shave them away with a razor
blade, either the one with the solid back...

I second what Keith said...
I have 2 marking knives from Dave Anderson's
Chester Toolworks and they are pretty and they...
well...they WORK!

When I began doing woodworking a 6" jointer was SOOOOO cool!
But as I did more with the hobby there were increasingly more
and more times I needed something bigger, so I got a 12" ShopFox.
Now,...

That is the PERFECT plane to get started with!

Marcus,
I have the L-N 60 1/2R and find that I use it all the time.
The skew plane(s) are nice, but you may find that you
need two (a left and right) if the grain doesn't cooperate
(which it...

Hey, I think I've seen that boat before!
And yes, if I recall it was a canon ball (or series
of them!) bouncing off of that white oak hull
which gave her her legendary name!
BTW, wasn't the...

I just picked up that Kreg pocket screw jig thingy to do my
own cabinets and found that the instructions they give you
for building cabinets were really good. I've built two other
kitchens using...

I like that the FK blades are a nice even 1/8"...
I get confused working at 32's:p

Use Abe...that's just my $.01 worth!

...I don't know what a penny measures but
I like the gap that it leaves

Hey there Eric,

I've got that saw and it's been up and down basement stairs
4 times now...
With everything off of it (including cast table wings)
I bet it weighs in under 350#. It's pretty...

Hey John,

I just got the Shop Fox W1744 12" jointer. I know there is often
some back and forth on the differences between it and the Griz
G0609, but I have now seen them both and can tell you...

Thanks guys, I'm looking into your info as we speak.

Rick- Yeah, I agree about not needing to go 220...
but now I feel like that motor is taunting me :p

I've got a 1hp Delta bandsaw, model 52-977,
that I've been trying to wire from 110 to 220.
I've rewired every other tool in my shop that's able
to be rewired but this one's giving me a fit...
...

I've got the SC 1.5hp as well, and man, it really sucks!!! :p

The only thing I didn't like was that, with the bottom plastic
chip bag, you can't get the strap tight enough to totally seal
the...

Don't trees GROW vertically???:p ???

John,

Welcome to our beautiful neck of the woods.
You could try Keene High, but I don't think they
do much "after hours" stuff. I've spoken to the
guy/teacher who oversees the shop and I...

Hey Walter,
I have the ShopFox version of yours and was having
the same problem...I found a company downtown that
used those hand operated pallet jacks and borrowed it
from them for a few...

Hi Mark,
I'm the guy with the new 12" Shop Fox and couldn't possibly be
happier. As for the cost vs the function/features, I couldn't find
another machine out there that I thought would meet my...

It's about 84" long and the table is 12 3/4" wide, not including
the rabbeting ledge. It's also about 32" from floor to table and
37+" to the top of the fence and it's appendages and, if you were...

Yup...a wise man (first name starts with J, last name with a B) once told
me the white would look better in my shop than Griz Green...and I tend to
agree;)


Yes, I'm pretty sure it is. The...

Well, I can imagine that without other safety
equipment, i.e. splitter, anti-kickback device,
that saw should be just as dangerous as others
out there. The brake is going to make the machine
a...

It looked good online, and now it looks pretty
darn spiffy in my workshop!!!:D

Not a gloat without pics, so here she is unpacked
and ready to tune-up. I'll follow with more pics and
maybe a...

Darn it, Mark said it before I could...AGAIN:D

Hi Randy!

You know, I can see your quandry about the machines,
but it seems to me that the limiting factor for you is the
110v wiring. Unless you are really REALLY unable to run
a new wire &...
