Looks from the pic to be in decent shape. I don't have any idea how the motor is, but if someone is looking for some big old arn, here it is, and for a song. No personal interest on my part other...
Aprons, unless they are TALL (like a "Nicholson") are a TERRIBLE idea. They create all sorts of clamping hassles because of the "void" behind them. (DAMHIKT!) If you haven't done so, pick up this...
I would have to say probably about 20, doing this from memory while at work.
4 Block planes:
LN 601/2 Low Angle
Veritas NX60
Veritas Standard
LN Rabbet Block Plane
Bench Planes:
I'm going to second what Jim Becker said. Hire a rigger. You're talking spending 4-5 figures on the tools. A couple hundred bucks on getting them into the shop is a far better idea than the risk...
Just tell them "no garlic butter." Keep in mind that the vast majority of pizzas are simply assembled and cooked. So you can get extra this or light that or none of the other.
Me, I'd lean towards the Nova, but gawd, it is an UGGGGGGLEEEE machine.
Post Facto Two Cents Worth, for the benefit of others facing such questions:
Given that you are looking at SUPPLMENTING/EXPANDING your plane squadron and functionality, not upgrade/replace, and...
Blow off with compressed air. Take to parts washer loaded with Simply Green or one of the other multitudinous colored clones. Clean, inspect, rinse, dry with compressed air. Lube with grease.
In a normal world, it would be a toss up between the General and the Laguna. With General gone, Laguna's continued existence gives it the nod. After that, again, toss up. There's TONS of support...
I know of 6 systems out there, available in the USA. They can be broken down into two broad categories. Category 1 is "designed for CONSTRUCTION, i.e. the carpenter", Category 2 is "designed for...
Fixed my La-Z-Boy. Things are crowded under there.... details here.

For temporarily attaching a standard bench vise (not a woodworker's face vise), put it on a board and then use either stout F-Clamps or C-Clamps. The Quik-Grips are NOT strong enough, as you'll find...
If you're looking for a #4 and you want decent quality and new with a modest price, consider the Stanley Sweethearts. You can get it online through Home Depot for about a hundred bucks.
As has been noted before, but bears repeating: There is a world of difference between an impact WRENCH and an impact DRIVER. As woodworkers, we're normally using impact drivers, so when we say...
Decide whether or not you're going to have the DC unit inside the shop, inside the building in a "closet", or outside the shop. If you have an outside unit and you're just moving the stuff from the...
Are the table heights the same? 'Cause you sure as heck don't want to be doing tight scroll type work on 3/4" stock on a table designed for resawing. Your back will express it's displeasure with...
I love this, from the article:
There is no evidence that the people who made these dishes suffered any ill effects from exposure to the glazes, so you probably don't have a lot to worry about by...
They aren't scams, well, most of them aren't. Certainly not the ones by an established company hosted/linked from their own site. You're right about the multiple entry challenge though...
You could even go with an Oneida 3hp/5hp Dust Gorilla Pro w/ 35 gallon drum and fab up a base. Total height is 94", plus whatever you add with the base. Keep in mind that your base can use out (or...
The tablesaw is primarily aimed at the flooring people. If I were going to be hauling a tablesaw into a house, I'd want the smallest that can get the job done, and for flooring.... An 8 1/4" blade...
Gravity is going to cause the finish to want to pool in the bottom of the chips.
Take a look at some of the methods that hollow vessel makers (turners and potters) will use to distribute...
Not all of us do.... :(
Yup, been going on for 20 years now.
Nope. A slow spiral toward boutique status. This is what Chris and the folks over at Lost Art Press have recognized, and, AFAIK, nobody else in the craft...
When you changed poly, did you change turpentine, or are you using the same turpentine to thin the poly?
