Another difference between my experience and Matt's may be soil conditions. Where I grew up in the MS delta we have a lot of delta gumbo, and where I live now in Jackson we have Yazoo clay, both of...

Hi David,
I don't know if I'm an expert, but I did pour concrete with my dad for about 10 years. We always used the wire mesh in the slab, and footings also get steel rebar run in them. There...
The LAJ is bedded at 12 degrees, so shouldn't you grind the micro bevel to 78 degrees to get a 90 degree cutting angle?
Count me in too, please.

Hey Joe. Greetings from up the road in Jackson. Welcome to the Creek. It's good to see another Mississippian here.

Another vote here for refacing what's existing if possible or for building doors and drawer faces on bought boxes. I'm in a similar situation as you (2 year old son, pregnant wife, postdoctoral...
Enjoy your saw, and don't listen to all the granite haters out there :). I love my granite - topped saw.
Another R4511 owner here. I haven't cleaned it with anything other than a damp rag. Like Dave, I do wax the top with paste wax. The discoloration you are seeing may just be natural differences in...
Correct. I've used HF coupons for the R4511 TS when it went on sale, the bandsaw when it went on clearance, a shop vac, and maybe some other smaller things.
I do have a HF in the area, about...
This varies completely by store and even by personnel. My local HD will take them pretty consistently. I take them to the lumber checkout, and the checkers will usually accept them on the spot....
No kidding. Please tell me I'm not the only one who wants to see Shiraz post a shop tour.
I'll echo the thanks to Tom and Emily. I received the woodpecker's 24" rule last week. A quality tool and a generous gift.

Hey Neil,
I have a 22-44 that gets hooked up to the first drop in my DC run, powered by a slightly modified HF 2hp collector. The dust collection at the sander is really good. A small amount of...
count me in please.

Wow Tom. Thanks so much for the generous offer. The Bondhaus hex wrenches from your last giveaway get used all the time, and I am really excited to get to use a quality rule for a change. This is...
Shop made. Fully seated into the dado on the table's ends:

And not seated all the way into the dado on the table's front and back to allow for cross - grain expansion of the top:

Hey Tom. I just purchased a D5000 and kit lens refurbished from Adorama. Other than a blown LED on the battery charger, which was replaced by Adorama, I'm not having any problems at all.

Van, if I'm reading it right, he's using a router table with a template attached to the top of the letters. I was thinking the whole thing could be held with a clamp while working one "side" of the...
Hey Van,
Saw this as I was typing my other post. Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I'll just stick to my original plan to get the PRL.
Lee
Yeah Jim, I saw that. I was all set to pull the trigger on the PRL closeout for 199. My plan was to get the PRL and the adapter for the PC890, so I can use the 890 router I have for now while I...
Would it be possible to hold your letters in a handscrew clamp while routing? This will give you more to hold on to.
Thanks for the input guys. The lack of autofocus points in the viewfinder is one of the things that is holding me back. Also, the AA batteries are actually a negative for me. I'd prefer a rechargable...
Thanks all for the advice, and Dave, thanks for the link. I've got some more reading to do.
Lee
Thanks for the links Dan. I'll definitely check out the reviews, and I'll look into the T2i you recommended, though it's more than I had planned to spend. Heck, that's almost half way to the wider...
For a while now I've been thinking about stepping up to a digital SLR, and my wife's b-day is coming up, making this a good occasion. I've never owned or used an SLR camera, and I've just been...
