Beautiful work Ed. I love the birds eye maple. How did you finish the lid and box edges?

That is a very nice selection of cigar in it as well.

Thanks for sharing Nathan. You had me laughing. I, like others, feel you pain because we have been there. However, it is always nice to be reminded that you are not the only one who makes those...

Thanks for all the feedback, but as these things sometimes go, I have to divert $400 to a trip deposit, so that takes me out of a new saw market. However, I am going to replace the fence with a good...

Thanks for the info Scott, very telling. That said, why did you choose the Sears over the Grizzly?

Mike

I am planning on buying a new table saw and I have narrowed it down to these two. Price on the Griz is 995 + shipping (86), and the price on the STeel City is $999 + tax (after rebate). Steel city...

Thanks Jameel, count me in.

Decided not to get the saw, table was not flat front to back. With a shop as small as mine, I need to use my table as a flat reference, I often assemble on it. So I let it pass.

I have a chance to purchase a used delta left tilt 2hp cabinet saw, that is not a unisaw. Didn't know there was such an animal.

Anyone have experience with this saw?

Thanks,

Mike

Slight change of direction, I found someone who is selling his Delta 2hp cabinet saw (not unisaw) for $500. I am looking at that tomorrow. If it is in good shape I might go that route.

Mike

Thanks for all the advice!

I have a nine year old craftsman and I have to measure both ends before I cut. It just won't align properly. The other issue is the arbor on many of the craftsman are not the same diameter across...

Beautiful work! I love curly maple, and ditto on the drawers fronts from same piece, that really works.

Welcome to the Creek. this is a great place to get great info. It has jumpstarted many a project for me. Nice mirror, I like how you used the sapwood.

Sorry to hear of your loss Dennis. I still have one of my grandmother left, still going after 97 years! So I consider myself blessed. I know I will miss her when the time comes.

Great looking sled. Thanks for sharing. I am working on my router table right now and will have to add a sled to my todo list.

Thanks again.

Great Job Steve, like others I will be putting this on my todo list! Great job with the photos as well.

Welcome (formally) to the creek Parker. We would love to see some of your work!

Mike

I use the Incra "T" and flat rulers, and most importantly, a set of reading glasses. W/O the glasses I would be lucky to be within 1/4", no matter what the device!:D

Mike

Great looking box Jerry! Love the look of that wood.

Mike

Thanks Vaughn, I actually laughed out loud. I, like many others have done that before, and will again. My last one was on some cedar recipe boxes I am making. Spent a great deal of time matching...
