    I don't know why an insurance company would have an issue with a wood burning stove. The bottom line is that any heating device has the potential to cause a fire, and therefore should be installed...

    I would love to get into welding and metalworking in general, but I don't have the space. If I ever build a bigger shop, I would do it only if I could also plan to have the time also.

    As described, it depends on what the expenses are. Woodworking is a fulfilling activity, therefore there are many people doing it, driving the price down, not to mention the big factory stuff. I've...

    I think there's some plans in Starware also, but I'd have to go find the book to verify.

    I have to admit I lust after a Jointmaker. I could make one large tool purchase this year, but ~$1500 is a lot of money to spend on something like this. I'm not even sure how much I'd use it.

    I was at woodcraft yesterday also and they had all the woodriver planes. They looked pretty nice actually - they were not cheap planes (not priced super cheap either). I didn't try to buy any though....

    I saw someone mention Boeshield Rust Free, so I thought I'd add that that stuff seems to make it's own stains. I don't use it anymore because I prefer the glue stains - more character.

    Not sure what the confusion is, what he is saying makes sense to me. If you are just venting the dust outside, I don't see what the point of having a cyclone is either. Just vent it towards a big...

    I would not go to such a wide blade on my G0513X2. For ripping I use a 3/4" carbide Trimaster and it cuts very well. I would stick to 3/4" and maybe try 1" but no wider. If you don't want to spend...

    For furniture making I see no benefit to using the metric system. All measurements are done in inches, and I never see anyone measuring in feet or miles.
