Ditto. Stunning work. Though I guess I am lucky having all my children appreciate the things I make for them and for my grandchildren.

I use mine to list items I need to buy on the next trip to the BORG or woodworking store. I also list what/who on the rare occasions I lend tools. My son knows to use it when he borrows something...
Hi Dennis,
Kuinka voit? Don't be discouraged. It appears that this is a hobby for you, same as myself. You've already received some great advice. I will just add that you need to do whatever...
Won't comment on overall plan but, from experience, I would advise against the refrigerator against the wall. You will be surprised by the number of times you need to get the door past 90 degrees to...
Website is fine but when you click the "buy" tab you get a message that the store is closed. I've wanted one of these for some time but the price was a bit out of my range. If anyone knows more...
I don't usually respond to this thread but it is the perfect opportunity to tell someone who can appreciate what I did. I completed my least favorite task Sunday - I emptied my DC and blew all the...
You've probably seen this before but both projects are granddaughter inspired.

As a birthday gift, my wife bought me the iron that needs to be heated. I usually have to heat it and trial the brand on a scrap piece a few times. The finished product is nice but if I had to use...
That is verry cool - I'm going to look into one. It reminded me that my dad always used an old metal lufkin folding rule. He has been gone for 23 years and it is probaly longer than that since I...
I do believe it is his location: FLorida! :D
I reluctantly bought a shop fox base with my G690. I say "reluctantly" because I read a lot of negative comments but could not find anything better. It worked so well that I bought another one when...
Another vote for the 8". I started with, and still have, a 50's era 6" Delta that was my dads. I upgraded to an 8" griz with a 68" bed a couple of years ago. The longer bed and wider width are HUGE...
I cut them on a bandsaw.
I also used them on a toybox for my granddaughter. The box had an overhang and they were attached to 3/4'' birch ply. They are pricey but work great. Absolutely no chance of pinching fingers. The...
The 333 is "brushless" - one of the advantages of the unit. I would try to blow it out with a compressor and see if that helps. Otherwise, sorry, not of much help.
Am I the only one that cuts the end off the plug? I knock the end off, on an angle, using a band saw. The plug then slides flush further into the pocket. A little glue on the back, sand it, and I...
I started with a '50's era CM that was my dad's. I made due with it for years but started looking for an 8" a couple of years ago. You are correct, good affordable ones are few and far between. My...
I had problems with my 1617 over the weekend. The router would not turn on. I removed the cover from the housing and sawdust fell out. When I googled the problem, there were several comments about...
I too have a small shop without room for a separate router table. A few years ago I bought a G690 and built a table extension with a router lift. I laminated two 3/4" bb pieces that I covered with...
Buy a 6 inch minimum. Once you have a jointer you will realize how valuable it is in reducing lumber costs and use it more often than you think. I have had my dad's 50's era 6" Delta Homecraft for...
Send it back. It would bug me everytime I looked at it. Some have observed it is cosmetic. Technically true, but having bought OEM automotive castings, without ultrasonic testing there is no way to...
I called at 9:20 so I feel better knowing I was at least 3rd in line.
Very nice work Andrew! Looks like your son thinks so too!
8" jointer. I'll keep my 6" but an 8" would be really nice for face jointing. I kick myself for passing on a really nice Powermatic a year go but I wasn't quite ready. Also missed out on a lightly...
Unique, and very nice. I'm sure he would be very proud of your effort.
