Fingers crossed and thank you!

Totally agree, Jim. My situation is kind of unique though... I've been really limited in how far I can travel these last two years but I'm finally getting back surgery next month so hoping all that...

I know the place. I used them when I was living in Allentown (NJ) - Trenton was a hop skip then but about 2 hours south now. I appreciate the direction though.

Maybe it's just me but I find that fruit-wood in general prefers to be sawn in thirds instead of halves. If I absolutely need two pieces from one board of cherry, plum, etc, I will first joint and...

You'll lose more than half your turning radius by going from a 1/4" to a 3/8" blade but that only really matters if you need tighter than a 1.5" circle radius on your cuts. 3/8 is plenty narrow for...

John, I have a hell of a time finding quality quatersawn cherry in NJ. I needed some for drawer sides and had to order from goosebay lumber in NH - price was decent until you figure in shipping...

I like both west systems epoxy and unibond 800 for longer assembly time.

That said, I don't think anyone has asked what application this is for? And oftentimes, you can use standard pva glue if...

I remember reading a fww article about this method a long time ago. I've used it several times - good solution.

Use winding sticks on the top and edges, then check those two are square.

Must have been the quiet. :-)

Pretty cool, thanks for sharing.

Troy, I believe it's 43 inches but I would double-check that.

Jimmy, congrats on your diamond in the rough... skip the shop vac idea though. Bandsaws are one of those machines that frustrate even dc users (sometimes) with the about of dust created, especially...

Mark, interesting that it closed back up. Did you move it to a different spot or flip it over by chance? Or is it sitting in the same spot and orientation where it first opened up?

I had my 735 about 15 or 20 years before I sprung for a floor model. I never got rid of it, still in the back room... just in case. Great planer, punches way above its pay grade but I would...

Congrats on the purchase. I had to drill mounting holes to fit my uni... also, if you don't need the full 4 feet, considering flush mounting as the slider gets in the way sometimes.

Thanks, Edward.

Thanks everyone, I'm starting to get the hang of it actually. And thanks for the suggested watch list. I've seen most of the content from those sources many times over and I own the Ashley Harwood...

How about a pulley puller?
Edit: it would have to be a large one or something shop made maybe.

I'll second the dewalt track saw. I've taken mine full depth of cut (I had to flip the stock over to complete) through a stone-hard slab of maple (on a rip cut) and I didn't feel that I was forcing...

I do use tb3 and I like it for specific applications - I do tend to clamp longer but I've never had any issues. I don't think there's any one glue (hide glue comes closer than any other imho) that...

I've always wanted to do a variation of the George Nakashima Conoid chair.. this is making me want to take the plunge but a little too much on the plate right now. One day.

That's too bad, they were pretty accommodating about that a ways back.

Also, you can always cut mortises for floating tenons prior to routing the profiles.

James, call and speak to the guys over at Whiteside. Awesome, knowledgeable folks over there and they're usually more than happy to make custom profiles (they used to at least).
