A bandsaw seems like the best bet to me...

I just built an Adirondack chair out of it...
Rick is right, it has an amazing smell when you work with it. Sweet, kinda like root beer, sometimes pungent with a hint of licorice.
I would...
This is a great thread. I've been thinking of new footwear lately.
Normally I wear my crocs or a pair of trail running shoes in the shop, but I noticed the crocs can get kinda slippery sometimes....
Intarsia is basically cutting out pieces of a pattern to fit a design, right?
What is the basic principle? I would assume if you cut thin pieces together they would naturally fit.
Thanks for the comments. I think I'll go check out that Ridgid sander.
I have the Grizzly G0444z contractors saw and I am more than happy with it.
It's a bit more expensive than the Dewalt, but it has plenty of power, cuts very accurately and when dissembled I can...
I decided to pick up a sanding drum kit for my drill press for edge sanding contours for an adirondack chair I'm making.
I wanted to get the sleeveless kind so I didn't have to buy and store...
I have to agree with John, this is what our second amendment rights are for.
However, in the spirit of the question if I had to immediately defend myself from a crazed attacker I think I would go...
The business end of a square mallet would be end grain, which would probably last longer for serious pounding.
A round mallet is always aimed in the right direction, so you can focus on the...
I saw this saw at a Woodcraft demo a few weeks ago. When the rep said that it would be slightly more than Festool I was shocked.
Interesting....so how do you pronounce "cumaru"? I never heard of that type of wood before.
I too love the smell in my shop when cutting cedar! I guess never having raised hamsters I can't...
That's $120 less than retail. For retail you get brand new blades and a warranty.
If you need to buy and install new blades, that's another $50 plus your time...and no warranty.
For me that...
A couple of weeks ago I found a CL listing with some woodworking tools. Ad listed a lathe, drill press, jointer, and router table.
I stopped by to check them out found a retired gentleman...
Wow! That place is only 40 minutes from my work...I definitely will have to stop and check it out sometime!
I just turned 28. I've been collecting tools and making sawdust for about 6 months now.
At this point in my life it consume a quite bit of my disposable income, but I'm single and have few other...
Sorry, I meant that I am keeping the original splitter/guard.
I understand the importance of a splitter - it is not optional equipment in my mind.
Oh, I am definitely using the OEM splitter and guard that came with my saw.
I might remove it one day, but since I'm such a newb I plan on keeping it for a little while...
Thanks for the tips guys.
I did clean the blade with some orange cleaner and a brass brush. I inspected the teeth for chips, etc, but they looked ok.
I did double check the fence, and it's...
I have a combo blade on my grizzly ts that I bought at the borg for about $40. As it's the only blade I have I used it to cut everything from MDF to 5/4 hardwoods...
In my current project I...
Once you sell something that you've created you lose control over who flatters your design by imitation...
Laws can prevent someone from marketing a copy. That's all.
Beautiful rings by the way.
I found it in a local CL add (York). I'm not sure if I can post the link or not but the guy said he would give me first dibs so I don't mind. $175
Ad says 20 gallons, 1/2 hp That does seam rather...
Hi all,
I'm looking to pick up an air compressor and brad gun to help make assembly time go a little faster.
Thanks to this site I have a pretty good idea of what I would get buying new...but I...
I use the 14 gallon shop vac as "dust collection" in my newbie shop, but I spend plenty of time with a broom and dustpan regardless.
The shop vac makes some difference on the table saw, but it is...
Thanks Colin for resurrecting this thread, I've been thinking about building some sawhorses, but I really wasn't sure where to start.
Since none of the links work I did some searching today and...
