    My first post in close to one month...

    Sam...I get the sense that you jumped into this thread based upon emotion and then perhaps felt the desire to walk-it-back a bit. You are a fine member...

    If you have air (and vac), Rockler has this Dynabrade on sale which is a 'screaming' deal. It comes with a vac hose and air hose to boot !

    Shaving Bowl

    Ok, this should be the end of it (shaving paraphernalia 'project') unless anyone can help me out with the end grain problems in my brushes here.

    I'm not sure how many of you shave with a brush,...

    If you're a 'punter,' Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, just north of San Diego and La Jolla should be in full swing by then.

    A bit further north is Tropical Exotic Hardwoods which may or may not be of...

    Shaving brushes and end grain woes.

    Not my normal 'fare' but I have a regular customer who makes shaving brushes and accessories who sent me a few brush 'knots' (the hair part) to fool around with. Nice guy and he does pretty well...

    I remember when I first started out in my garage, building my shop with a (demo/broke thus cheap) craftsman table saw and gradually 'upgrading' anything and everything from there. Reading books,...

    Mine's also 36" and I really shy away from outside work like this anyway...too great of a liability for not much reward.

    You might try Cerritos College. They have a fantastic woodworking...

    Rockler stores had the Dewalt as a Black Friday special for $199. Leading up to that fateful day, I did my thinking about and investigations into the possibility of setting one up with my sanders. ...

    The Dewalt specs...

    The Dewalt specs show 72 db and 129 cfm.

    The Festool specs show 62-72 db and 137 cfm.

    One thing I just noticed about the Dewalt is that they offer a 90 day money back guarantee.
    Not sure...

    I kicked around the idea of getting the Dewalt Hepa Vac 'on sale' at Rockler. I checked out the specs (noise level, cfm, hose size, etc.) and they all were comparable to the Festool. I'm sure the...

    I have an old chain morticer that looks something like that 'dovetail saw,' only upside down. It's great because you get square corners and can cut really deep mortices.
