Tony, over my lifetime of working with wood I have owned 4 different table saws and two radial arm saws. Both cut wood accurately, but you will have to fiddle with the radial arm saw a lot more to...

Check out this mill

It cannot be more than a couple hours drive from you and it has great wood and plywoods.

Check this mill in NW Oklahoma out. I buy all of my lumber there. Not sure how far it is from OKC, but it may be worth the drive if you buy a good bit of lumber each time you go. They have...

There is a reason the Leigh jig is considered the best out there, it just simply is. It does a great job with through, half blind and if a person is inclined you can do the isoloc dovetails like...

I don't have the experience that some have on here, but I have glazed two or three pieces and I locked it on by spraying on a thinned top coat material. I use Target products, and the first coat...

My wife insisted that I get a SS as well. I have had the ICS for a year and it is head and shoulders above the uni I had before the saw stop. This is my 4th table saw, and honestly I thought the...

Thanks for your help everyone. I appreciate your help, and your advise has given me enough insight to pass on this machine if it is not in really good shape. I am a pure hobiest, I make very nice...

I am going to look at a what appears to be a 70s vintage Powermatic 45 lathe. It is a single phase 220, was orginally owned by a one man furniture restoration business, and when he passed a...

Yup, it sure sounds like the material was frozen during shipment. I have had a similar reaction with a water borne product that was not Target.

I am certainly not a professional, but I have shortened a lot of doors. I used a simple skill saw with a fine tooth blade, clamped a straight edge on the door as a saw guide and cut away the excess....

I also bought my saw from Woodcraft. It is my understanding that Sawstop does not allow dealers to sell their products less than others. We had a dealer in Fort Smith Arkansas that lost their...

I have been using table saws for nearly 50 years and never had an issue until last year. I had a uni and I just about cut off 4 fingers but I was lucky and I have only scars to show for a moment of...

Caroll, I have an Asturo gravity feed gun and I use the 1.5 tip with the varnish. Check out this site, it gives a lot of information on spraying water based materials and it is why I changed. It...

Conrad, the glaze I made was for a jeweler's regulator clock case I am making for my sister in law. I made the case of 1/4 sawn oak and I wanted a lighter mission finish. I sprayed the case with a...

I have been a traditional fellow with finishes, using Waterlox, General Finishes, shellacs etc. until just recently. I decided I would move from the oils and poly finishes to water based, and so I...

I have the Leigh D4, and it without a doubt is the best jig on the market. It is easy, fast, and very versatile. It will do every dove tail patten possible including through, half blind, and I get...

I have the Steel City, and I chose it because of the bed, extentions, and clamping system. The only thing I find frustrating is it will not mortise narrow stock and you have to put in a filler which...

Dave, I have built 4 grandfather clocks and one regulator. I researched the movements carefully and Klockit is by far the best value and quality. Like most things, you get what you pay for. If you...

Kevin, good logic! I ordered a couple of the Amana blades yesterday, two Amana blades for the price of one Forest is a good deal if they perform like the ones you have installed in your equipment.
...

Thanks guys, I have a ridge, a wwII and a couple other good blades, but I was thinking I might want to try the new Frued that gets excellent ratings. I appreciate the input.

I just got my new Saw Stop into the garage and I am reading the manual about do's and don'ts. One of the comments was you should not use a blade that has a coating. Does that mean a person cannot use...

I am one of the fortunate guys that had a brief loosing battle with my unisaw and still have fingers, but with lots of stitches. My sawstop will be delivered next week, and the uni is for sale. I...

Larry, your estimate of $1,000 is very close. I have spent at least that on all of the clocks I have made except for a wall hung regulator with mechanical works. It was about $700 when finished. ...

Larry if you are going to invest in the time to build a good case, buy a good mechanical movement and chimes. Both Murray and Klockit are good companies, Murray is Canadian though I think. I bought...

Larry, you will like the klockit clock parts and materials.

You must not be navagating the site quite right, but I do agree you have to look around to find the different parts and pieces. I am...
