    Ryobi makes one

    I've got the Ryobi folding outfeed table for the BT3000, and it's both simple and useful. The one leg on it folds in diagonally, which works pretty well. It might not be a bad model, or it might ...

    Australia

    Yep, I've got those Triton workstands. Work wonderfully, too. Don't know how I could have missed that bright orange paint. The router would be cool too, but someday...

    No vegemite here, though.

    You've inspired me to clean the shop, which is a good idea anyway.

    I know I have USA, Taiwan, China, France, UK, Canada, Germany, Italy, India, and Switzerland down there. Maybe Spain. Guess...

    thanks

    I'll be happy to wait and see if there's a feature.

    I'd rather not ignore individual users - I frequently find that the people whose OT posts I detest have lots of other good things to say...

    Ignore thread option?

    Is there any chance for an "ignore this thread" option? Knots has one, and it's awfully handy for ignoring political and otherwise nuisance threads.

    In times like these, blood pressure-reduction...

    lots of good experiences

    My local Woodworkers' Warehouse (Cortland) took a while to figure out that that I'm not fond of being upsold, but once we got past that they've been very helpful. (I'm still very grateful to the guy...

    timewarp to 1987

    I was in a used bookstore today and found a stack of old Fine Woodworking magazines. I picked one with an article on 32mm cabinetmaking and bought it for a grand $3.00. It's the Nov/Dec 1987 issue,...

    I come from a part of the country that's not known for excessively polite customer service, and I've worked retail (Kinko's Copies) myself. I can't say I have any fondness for the notion that "the...

    I love my Festool saw and guides. Shoving plywood over the tablesaw wasn't fun, and my old circular saw (a B&D) seemed to wobble through the cuts. I use the Festool on a sacrificial table, and I...

    I'm spending the morning writing open source software, which I'll be posting in the hope that someone else picks it up and improves it. The part I care about is making changes, and not just to...

    On the sander vs. pen mill thing, I'm much happier with my pen mill, mostly because it makes the end of the blank conveniently square to the tube, even if the hole isn't perfectly square to the...

    That's great! My wife needed thread racks and we got as far as buying dowels before I realized just how much thread she had... the commercial racks don't look nearly as nice as yours!

    Grizzly may make some good sanders, but I can't say I'm particularly fond of my 1014Z. The design has lots of flaws - the table for the disk sander is mounted on a round rod and doesn't keep an...

    It's an improvement for some people, but to me it just screams rip-off, a rush for the bottom. Lower prices, great. Only lower prices, and money flowing away from people who can come up with their...

    Dave - yeah, Jet's been making copies for years. With very few exceptions (some of their new dust collectors come to mind), that's all they do.

    Thanks, but no thanks. I'd much rather spend my...

    Perhaps there's no need to feel sorry for Oneway, but Jet drops pretty far in my opinion, as does its parent WMH generally. Patents or no patents, I prefer companies that at least add some value...

    Last week I bought Woodcraft's generic little $169 one-bag dust collector (129594) for my planer. It lives on the bottom of the planer stand so it moves with the machine, and is hooked up only to...

    It doesn't feel "Shaker" to me, I think because of the contrast, but it doesn't need to, either. It looks great on its own! That wormy maple is amazing.
