True; no levelers. It's rocking on all surfaces, whether on the floor or in the base. I start with shims and it gets to be like an M. C. Escher print. Around and around. I'm off to try again..

Howdy all. Been a while since I posted here but I've got something that has me stumped. I have a Steel City 35600 table saw(might be 36500, I checked it quickly this morning). It's a contractor...

Thanks! Shop time is really limited these days (I have 3 small kids AND I am redoing our deck) so it's not even fully assembled yet, but here's hoping!!

I picked up a new table saw this weekend. I just turned 40 and I figured I was due for a decent one. I sold my Jet contractor's saw and got a Steel City "hybrid". Didn't want to re-wire the shop for...

I'm with you-2 weeks ago, I would have checked off 30s...40s just doesn't sound right yet!

What kind of compressor will you be using to drive the framer? They obviously use a lot more air and smaller compressors (like the PC pancake) will cycle constantly and not keep up.

Just...

Dave Anderson-

LOVE your plane center. I've been looking for ideas on how to store mine; think I found a good one!

Hi Steve-

For the life of me I cannot remember the issue, but Shopnotes or Woodsmith magazine did an issue where the cover project was exactly what you are building. I built it maybe 12 years...

I recently purchased Schwarz' book and I have given that one a long look. I am now completly unsatisfied with my current bench and want to make a new one. That one, however, doesn't look like the...

Careful here. For real world experience with this, head over to the Fine Homebuilding forum and look up the thread in "Tools For Home Building" titled "Ridgid S***s" (the word is spelled out there)....

Marc, totally off the subject, but weren't you one of the subjects in The Workshop Book by Landis? I know I've seen your name somewhere.

Thanks and good luck with your new direction.

Thank you so much for posting that-I had the same question 2 weeks ago and it never dawned on me. That's the best tutorial of the sort I have seen!!

Strength aside, why not? If it's a hidden joint, then I don't think it really matters what method you use. I agree with your original sentiment, though. Kind of goes back to the hand-v-power tool...

Checking in as well. Long time lurker; first time contributor!

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Jium, I remember the old American Woodworker shows at the Ft. Washington Center. Those were good shows. I miss them-none I've been to sicne can compare.

After almost 2 years of lurking I finally ponied up. It won't pay all your bills but I hope it helps a little bit. :D

I would think they are doing this to clear out the 1587s because they want to push the 1590s. The 1590 is a really sweet saw, but as someone else said, the 1587 is outstanding-it's been one of the...

Hi Jeff-

I have both drills. The "green" (blue??) came as part of a combo kit. It's a hammerdrill, and it's huge. So I picked up the white one as a shop drill. I think it's probably the best...

Wife and daughters are coming back from Florida tomorrow so I have to pick them up at the airport. That means I have to clean the house up! My shop is a mess because I moved some things around...

I'm going Saturday. I haven't been to this in a couple of years and I admit I'm a little nervous that it will be a big fat waste, but I won't know until I go. This could be my last.

Anybody...

Brian-my first exposure to the sandpaper method was an interview with Mike Dunbar in FWW back in 2000. It never occurred to me to use sandpaper prior to that. FWIW his setup is 80, 120, and 320...

Went to NH with the wife and kids to visit wife's college friends on Saturday, then got snowed in on Sunday and did my taxes and played with my daughters. Sunday PM spent an hour and a half removing...

Jim, thanks for sharing. You have just reinfocred my notion that I will always be a hack because I don't know that I could ever achieve that grace in my design.

Fantastic work.

Maybe, if I am lucky, 30 minutes a week. And that's just enough time to clean the rust off of everything before something more important comes up. Before i was married and had kids, well, maybe 30...

They are not selling it anymore. It has been replaced by that finewoodworkingnetwork where you pay an annual or monthly fee to have access to the articles on that CD, as well as videos, etc. Check...
