Thanks for posting Jason - how did you get started? It seems most are self-taught...
I have been doing some carving with a grinder, die grinder, Festool RAS combo and am stepping up the game with a dedicated chainsaw once my order arrives. Over the past few weeks I've been trying to...
I think the problem with the Festool jigsaw is that is carries the Festool name. If it were part of a blind taste test I think the participants would simply say the dust collection is nice and maybe...
My slider was a safety purchase for me primarily. My wife got wise to the dangers of table saws and asked me to get something safer. Obviously the SawStop was a consideration, but I mill my own...
It is a dealer network with retail rules enforced by Stihl. For some reason online sales don't seem to exist. Many times I've just wanted to buy a shirt or hat....I'm a big Stihl fan. When it...
Only further compounded by all the mergers and acquisitions making for less competition. Kudos to videos and social media for giving us cattle a voice against the larger corporations who forget they...
I don't know why SLR cameras even have an Auto mode. P is the real "Auto" mode for a SLR because it won't jump the settings so drastically. Then move to Av (Aperture Priority) if full manual mode...
Good point. Up to 4 cents.
Fortunately, I landed a new role and now only fly for my personal trips. Like you, I was in the air a lot. And I have tons of coworkers who fly constantly: 800 person sales staff flying to...
I didn't jump on the xmat deal because I don't want to store it when not in use. But I can't imagine doing box or frame assembly without the Woodpeckers clamping square: ...
Just got the call that my Jet came in yesterday at my local dealership. I took advantage of the last flash sale and like to buy brands my dealer carries. But in the edge sander area (especially...
That was cool - thanks for sharing!
1Password has been my go-to for the past 10 years. It is a vault for forms, credit cards, software licenses along with being a really strong password storage/generator. Unfortunately, it is...
I have only seen a single Green Ash with some spalting in it, so I'm not a big expert in Ash spalting. But all the spalting I've come across (multiple North American species) has had a combination...
This didn't feel anything like woodworking.

I used to use the Freud glue line rip blade on all plywood cuts before switching to a sliding table saw. It worked quite well. On the few hardwood rips I tried it burned the wood. Ripping blades...
I bought the T8 last week and finally got around to resharpening some of the wife's kitchen knives to get her into it ;). I can't believe how fast and easy it was to knock out a set of knives!

You've gained a new subscriber here. Thanks Tom!
I work for a company that touches at least 3/4 of all the car deals that happen in the United States. In some cases our software, or properties, power 100% of every single aspect of the sale. We...
Is the log straight? That's the first thing. If it something rare, and you've got to deal with some weird growth, then saw off as much excess as possible with the chainsaw to inspect grain...
Glad I stumbled upon this thread because I was just about to pull the trigger on one of their irons. I haven't yet because of that "no refunds/returns" policy. It is precisely mistakes like these,...
I think this will suit my needs fine. She's all setup and ready to roll. Thanks for the help folks!

Swung by my local dealer and he made me a deal I couldn't refuse on the Powermatic 2800B. Someone ordered one and backed out of it, so I got a pretty decent deal. Will pick it up tomorrow.

I couldn't see a change in price on their website, but would like to see if my local dealer will price match. Do you mind sharing the flyer?
