Hey y'all - thanks for the many great replies.
Reg, I'm kinda leaing towards the shaper too - that big Grizzly bandsaw needs more company! :)
Joe - I hadn't considered a local shop. I'll look...

Man, it's been a while since I've been around the creek - now I see what sort of stuff I've been missing!

Beautiful job, Per!

Hi - I'm wanting to mill about 500 sq ft of black walnut into random width flooring. I'm wondering which would be the better investment - a good sized router and a saw table router table (PC 7518...

Ryan - after working with the walnut stump my Dad and I have been playing with, be sure to listen to Ted and Jim! Those logs will be *HEAVY*! Ted's site was an inspiration to me, as was the...

My Dad and I have been working on a decent sized Black Walnut stump lately. It's quite a bit of work! I put a 28" bar on my Husky 372XP with a good rip chain, and it works pretty well with the...

Now THAT is a table saw! :eek:

I'll own a 'real saw'........ One day, one day..... :o

I'll make the odd man out vote for a non-pocket T-shirt, but definately agree with the very heavy, non-tagged ideas, and I'd be pretty content with a pocket since that's what the masses seem to...

Beautiful, Ralph! I hope to actually be able to build something like that one day and have pictures to post about the process, rather than just prattle on about "which one should I get, tool XXX or...

Oh, I want to see Reg's response here about the electricity cost.... When I picked up my bandsaw from him, we had a chat about that.... ~shaking head~ You folks that currently have 3-phase better...

I just bought a G0513 from Reg - I've been most satisfied with it so far. Since you already have experience with another saw, you'll probably spend but a few moment to get the guides set up well for...

I'm trying to decide whether or not to spend the extra coin and purchase the G0514X (19"/3HP)instead of the G0513X(17"/2HP). I'm hoping to do some 'poor man's sawmilling' with the saw, as well as...

Does breaking a piece of wood for the fire barrel and having a section of it fly up and hit you in the face, leaving a nice crescent shaped gouge right above the bridge of your nose count as a...

Just finished up last weekend's bearing replacement job on the table saw - wow, what a difference! :)

Going to finish breaking down an old piano that was given to me. Looks like there's a few...

Well, gonna try to get finish getting the C'man tablesaw put back together - with new bearings, that is! The sixty thousandths slop and bad "grind" component in the bearings I just removed would (I...

Micheal - THANKS! That's only 40 miles from here. Heck, I drive half that just to go to work!

I'll give them a call tomorrow and see about visiting in the next couple of weekends.

Thanks...

Isn't that what the shop is supposed to look like? :p \

Have fun rearranging... I'm *SO* hoping to be able to build a 'real' shop in the next year or two. I'll build benches, shelves, and...

Bart - that's the one. I did what you suggested. The repeatability of the fence when clamped comes into play here, it looks like, so I'll just have to live with somewhere between .005-.015 for now....

Now, it's not much of a saw, granted, but it's what I've got for now. I've got a late 70's Craftsman contractor saw that my Dad used for years. I've added the "Align-A-Rip" fence that actually...

Thanks, Terry! Woodfinder looks to be a valuable resource!

I'll give him a call and see how it goes from there.

I'm don't mean to hijack the thread or anything like that, but I'm curious to know what makes the Jointech superior to the Incra system in y'all's minds? Are your setups on tablesaws or standalone...

Anyone know of any sawmills (or a source for "inexpenisve" rough-sawn lumber in Georgia or Alabama, preferably within a 100 mile radius of Columbus?

Thanks... sorry for the 'boring' post.......

Ah - I think I may have mistakenly given the impression that "we don't need no stinking dust collection" whereas I'm actually looking at this study with a "yeah, uh huh, right-o!" reaction! I could...

I had intended to build a table as well - even picked up some T-track for it. I didn't, however, have any extra MDF/ply, any laminate, or a T-slot cutter so I felt like 29 bucks was a pretty good...

As noted on another board, Grizzly has a good looking drill press table/fence/stop setup(H7827) for $29.95. The tracks, laminate and sheet goods to build a table of your own would come pretty dang...
