Has anyone here had experience with the Steel City spiral cutterhead one. They have two versions, one for about $500 and another heaver duty one for between $600 and $700. I had just about decided...

Beautiful machine. It almost makes me wish I had waited a year or two to get my 513X2 bandsaw except for all the great work I've been able to do in the intervening time and the things...
Jerry:
I know this may be heresy here but I am a hobbyist, albeit a fairly active one, and I have often been faced with your exact same problem. With no other easy alternatives I break the...
Agree with Kurt and Ted. I made several pieces of shop furniture with it last year and it was just fine and I intend to do a couple of more this winter. Right now I'm finishing a utility room...

I built the one in the Vol 20 Issue 120 of Shopnotes but haven't used the lathe on it yet. I built the extension as well. It has a compartment underneath that allows you to put concrete...
I've loved my Porter Cable 4 1/2 inch worm drive panel cutting saw for years. I hate wrestling a big 4X8 piece of plywood on to my table saw like I used to do when I started out in my hobby shop. ...
I have a Delta/Rockwell unisaw made in the early 70's that's 3 phase with a rotary converter that I bought from the guy that sold me the saw. Everything else single phase 110. I bought the saw used...

I intend to start my first rocker in a few months. Any advice to a beginning chair maker after seven chairs?
I use Danish oil for most of my cherry and walnut (Black Walnut DO) projects and haven't had any problems. It brings out the figure of the wood and darkens it. Also the varnish in it gives it some...
I've had a problem with runout with the 690 router. It seems in my case to be the result of two things. Using a dull or worn out bit and cutting too deeply. I was taking a 3/8 inch depth cut when...
Well, based on your responses (Joe and Prashun) I think I will go with Morrison for my first attempted chair build. I remember you said one time Prashun that you thought it was a good idea to build...
Prashun:
Slightly off topic. I haven't built a chair yet but hope to before long. I have a copy of the Scott Morrison DVD and remember that you said you liked the Morrison DVD but went with...
I've been reading "The Fine Art of Cabinetmaking" by Krenov lately and he makes the point that any time you resaw a board you should put it aside for a couple of weeks before working it to let it...
Carroll:
Where did you get the cover for the motor hole in the side of the saw? I'm in the process of trying to get my saw (looks just like yours) hooked up to my dust collector and need to...
Yeah, I saw that too in a magazine on the stands now but I don't remember which one.
I live in Tennessee and also know of black locust posts that have been in the ground for a long time. Actually have some on my place that may have been put there by my grandfather in the thirties....
I've had the PC twin laser (I guess the 3802L) for several years and it's still working fine. I love it. Just wish I had one of the new laser drill presses.
Pardon me guys. I didn't see the "more replies below current depth" and am now into the "rest of the story". Please excuse my ignorance.
I'm thinking of attempting a Maloof Rocker and was wondering what happened to the chairs discussed on this thread. Seems the work was just about to get underway with several people and then the...

I couldn't let this go by without saying what a great statement it is. Most of us, or at least the lucky ones, meet someone along the way, usually as you say, early in life, who...
I retired 2004 and have had some time in the shop but demands on my time do not let me get here as much as I would like. I live on a small farm and chores like grass and bush cutting, hours and...
I saw some of those small biscuits today at a Lowes in Columbia, TN. They were made by Bosch.
I had a Vega 52 inch that came on my Rockwell Unisaw when I bought it used about 1985. It worked fine but was too big for my small shop so I bought a Vega 36 or 40 inch about ten years ago. After a...
John:
Picture please. I need to build myself a new sled and yours sounds interesting. Don't have the book you mention.
