    Thanks, Mark. That's the look I'm going after for my first build, though not with the curly maple veneer. Looks awesome in the sunlight!

    I have the Fasttrack fence on my 14" Jet. It works well unless I push into it, because it deflects rater easily. And mine doesn't adjust easily for drift.

    This is indeed sad news. I had the pleasure of meeting Ken a few years ago at a Freedom Pens Turn-A-Thon at the Rockler store here in Atlanta. Ken was kind (and patient) enough to teach me how to...

    Anyone Tried Varathane Renewal?

    My oak floors need a bit of help. Mostly, they're scratched up from my 2 big dogs walking on them. Rather than sand and refinish, I was looking at the Varathane Renewal Wood Floor Restoring System....

    Pete, I've seen people add a big stop "paddle" to their existing switch. David Marks (host of Woodworks) has one that. Some make it so there's a foot tread that you can step on to shut the saw off....

    Joe, as I understand it, there's always a market for "scrap" gold. That's all the jeweler offered me. It's a pretty heavy ring, but the scrap value only came out to about $78.

    I was looking at the same issue, Travis. I think I might need to make mine a bit deeper, though, and that would probably mess up the sheet layout.
