Very slow on the East Coast.

Thanks again for all the comments.

And for those suggesting CL, yes I have been checking there along with local new/used machinery dealers and only found stuff way out of my price range.

Thanks for your thoughts.

The unit that caught my eye (in the HF store) is a #5980.

On the web site, the price is $599, but in the store they are $499, but I have a 20% coupon which brings it...

I put this in off-topic because it has nothing to do with woodworking.

I am looking to buy a small milling machine and trying to decide whether to buy from Harbor Freight or Grizzly. I have never...

I replaced my Norton stones with Super Stones and very glad I did. In my opinion, the Super Stones are far superior and create a lot less mess because they don't have to be soaked. Just a splash of...

Perhaps you didn't read the whole thread:







Those sure sound like crass comments to me.

Because, sometimes it's more efficient, easier, and safer to take the item to the tool. Especially good for small items.

I know a guy who mounted his ROS upside down using an inner tube for just...

Inspect the surface with a bright directional light. The light should be set at a low angle so that it casts shadows of the imperfections. Move the light around and inspect from several different...

Excellent point. Stanley has a huge distribution network already in place. Try to find any hardware, big box, x-mart, or construction supplier that doesn't sell Stanley. In those markets, Stanley...

In my experience, yes.

For many years, I would not touch a hand plane, or a hand saw, or a chisel. My experiences had been with a couple of old hand-me-downs and some cheap hardware store hand...

I've had my Big Green Egg for about 3 years and it is by far the best grill I have ever owned. For steaks, I am convinced there is nothing better.

Amen!

The other day, my wife and I was moving the 18" bandsaw. It is one big heavy gangly beast. Then we got to wondering how the two of us ever got it off the truck and into the shop a few years...

Two options come to mind:

If you have a Habitat for Humanity Store in your area, they may have a variety of reclaimed lumber. Stock can vary almost daily.

Do a search for barn demolition and...

Go to Staples and get a Laser Pointer (about $10). Then a little duct tape. BAM!

Of course, you could keep it the way it is. I read they used to saw without lasers......back in the day.

I have both. They are not even in the same ballpark. The Tite-mark is far superior for both locking into position and its micro-adjustment freature.

If you have a local Woodcraft, they may have...

Oil exploration is expensive too, so I guess Exxon must really be struggling financially.

Hospitals have a captive market. When you are seriously ill, nobody asks "what's this gonna cost?" And...

I agree. I find that making hand tools is extremely satisfying, educational, and productive.

Not sure what key it is in, but I can play Beethoven's 5th on piece of crotch walnut with a 3/4" blade. If I get mama to run the router around some curly Koa, we sound like the Boston Pops.

I would do some serious research before going this route. I have read several articles that state this is not a good practice and can produce two unflat stones. Also, how do you keep the 1000 stone...

This is going to require a lot more brain cells than normally commit to a tool purchase. Can I get back to you on that.

Buy a couple more planes. That might get her interested.:D

From earlier in the thread.

John,

I don't know what happened here, but I have seen this happen on two other forums recently, both related to saws; one was the new LN panel saw and the other was a new Lunn saw. Those threads...

Call FedEx and give them your tracking number. They can provide much more accurate info than is provided on the web site. They can also help if indeed it is lost or appears to be headed in the wrong...
