Youngbloods is good, they sell retail too and have a great selection and easy to sort what you need. Ottertail lumber is another choice, not as large though. Forest Products is a job house, but...

Read an article yesterday that said at -30, 95% of the larvae freeze. They are mostly water, so it kind of messes them up. It has to be that cold for an extended period of time and it looks like...

Thanks all! I appreciate the help, and thanks for the link, will order it tonight.

I just picked up a used JET jwbs 14cs bandsaw for $350. Thought it was a pretty good deal, knew it needed a little work, but while trying to align it found one of the table supports is broken. Is it...

Well I bought the saw, I believe it is a 1961 vintage. It is a 3 phase, 2hp motor, so will have to replace that. It did come with a Beisemeyer fence and extension table, although the table will...

Thanks for the advice, I figured that was the way to go. Bought the saw tonight, but won't pick it up until next weekend, will let you know what I find!

I have the opportunity to purchase a Delta Unisaw 34-450 for $150. It is essentially site unseen except for a grainy picture. It is a former school shop saw and I don't expect it to have any...

Im in, that is a sweet saw!

Very nice!

The first one I made, I didn't have a lot of wood around, so made it sparingly at 3/4" thick. That was three years ago and it is still going strong. I too used the Woodwhisperer design and as long...

The interesting thing at HD is that both the 4330 and 4331 have the same SKU. So, as HD discontinues the 4330, any store that has a 4331 in stock will automatically sell it at the discontinued price...

I asked if the DW734 was on clearance as well, they told me no. I went to 5 different HD's over the past week before I got one that would take the coupon. Even the HD that is 1/2 mile from HF...

Thanks for all the great replies! I picked up the Ridgid 4331 tonight from Home Depot. It is on close out for $339, used a HF 20% coupon, so out the door with tax was $290. I did look at the...

Thanks for the input. I would love the DW735, but that isn't in the cards. That extra $200 is going for dust collection!

Bill, how long do the blades last? I don't get a lot of shop time, so...

I have been looking for a small planer for some time now and my local Borg has the Ridgid 4331 on clearance and I have a line on a used DW733. They will both cost me about $300 each, I am leaning...

Build a router sled and use that to flatten the top. I did that a couple of times before the North Country Woodshop opened and now I have membership in a club with a big a time saver!

Woodcraft in Bloomington holds periodic plane classes. I think they just had one in the past month or so.

I have a Dremel - I believe 1635 model. For $30 it is worth it, but you don't get much more than you would expect for a low price model. Mine has two speeds and a lot of vibration, but works well...

You can use shotgun sacks as plane socks. I bought a couple at a sporting goods store, about $6 a piece, cut them to length, sew the ends and instant plane sock. They are made out of the same...

So Spring has sprung in Minnesota and that means garage sales. Had fun this weekend, ended up with a Dremel Scroll Saw #1671 for $30, stopped at the local Rockler and bought a clearance router table...
