The device you're looking for is aptly called the "Finger Saver." I previously had a Vega fence on my saw and loved the Finger Saver. On bought it on a whim when I got the saw and figured I'd...

Kelvin,
I've got a 20 year old 350 that I bought used a few years ago. My saw came with the original fence (not Biesemeyer), no extension table, and no blade guard. I paid more than $750 and...
Jason,
That is an absolutely gorgeous piece of furniture. I love everything about it.
BTW, you've got some huge pine cones in your neck of the woods! :eek:
Keith
I've got one and have been very happy with it. It was on the money right out of the box and haven't had any issues with head deflection. I especially love that it can be set up to require no extra...
I thought I read somewhere that Waterlox started as a finish for basketball courts. I think if it'll hold up under those conditions, you would be able to use it on a residential floor. :confused:
...
That's the one I use. And you can't beat the price! :D
I've used pallet wood before and the biggest issue I had with it was the twist nails they used to put it together. They're practically impossible to get out with snapping. But, if they're long...
Tom,
I did toss around the idea of veneering some other plywood, but I've never veneered before and I didn't think I was up to veneering pieces this large, especially for my first time. Besides,...
Matt,
Trust me, if I can do it anyone can! Really just a matter of following the plans closely and have the patience to see it through to the end. Trust me, there were plenty of errors made...
Paul,
I was previously on the ENTERPRISE and I'm now serving on the CARL VINSON. Before I got commissioned, all my sea time was spent on small boys (CLEVELAND and LAKE CHAMPLAIN).

Paul,
Nope, not an Airdale, but I have been on two carriers, so I guess I've picked up some "pilot speak" over the years.
I was a former YNC who got commissioned via the Limited Duty Officer...
Gregg,
Here's a picture of how the console is supposed to look based on the original plans:

I gave it more...
Jim,
That's some beautiful wood! I'd love to come across some of that.
Great project!
Keith
Dewey,
Drop me a line the next time you're going to be out this way and we can get together for a cup of coffee or something.
Actually, I was out your way several months ago for an old...
Gary,
I've got plans for a coffee table and end table hanging in the shop now!
Besides, it's high time that I replaced our almost 20 year hold coffee table and end table! :D I think their...
Walt,
To answer your question about the doors, the doors are simply tongue and groove construction, then I routed a rabbet in the back to hold the glass. For the mullions, their thickness is as...
Thanks, Jim!
For any who are interested, here's a link to Jeff's finishing schedule. I used the Fayetteville finish: http://homesteadfinishing.com/pdf/mission_oak_rev4-2008.pdf
Keith
Thanks to everyone for their kinds words!
If you're interested in the finishing schedule I used, you can find it on Jeff Jewitt's site. I'm not sure if I'm allow to post a link to it here, so...
This project has gone on way too long! I transferred to a new command six months ago and the long hours combined with the 40-mile commute each way really put a damper on my woodworking and slowed...
If you're talking about the kind pictured below, I've been using it for about two years with no issues. I will admit though, that if you use it somewhere that requires a lot of back and forth...
Greg,
Very interesting! Something like that would probably serve me well since I have some of the same limitations as you.
Could you possibly give some more construction details and perhaps...
Glad to hear that you and your assistant are both okay.
I've learned that you always need to be on guard when dealing with SYP.
My experience... When we moved into our home, the previous...
I can't speak for how they're constructed these days, but if my 20 year old 350 is any indication, they're beasts! I love mine and it's still going strong!
...
That's gorgeous! Nice work!
After starting this project many months ago, I'm finally getting to a point where I think I can see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. It's a mission-style TV console made of solid QSWO...
