Me too! Thanks.

Mark,
It looks great!
You're a bit ahead of me, I'm in the process of building my own cabinet of a similar size, and I may borrow your idea on plane storage. Unfortunately, I only made the...
+1 on disliking a flatscreen above a mantel. Above the mantel is often the only good choice, but ideally, if you have enough room to either side, you could put the TV in a cabinet next to the...
Mike, I like to live dangerously. :D Megan encourages this behavior but that encouragement only goes so far. I called the seller as soon as she found the listing, and hopped in the car an hour or...
Joe, I thought his asking price was fair. But we did negotiate a bit on a volume discount. :) I expect to do business with him again.
Bobby, I'll let them acclimate a bit. I still need to check moisture content but I expect they'll be fine. The planes I'm sure will be up to the task. Not sure if my arms will be. I'm hoping to...
Matt, the listing was from a guy in Slinger. The wood comes from a private lot in southwest Wisconsin. He still had a bit left on Sunday morning.
David, I suggested a gap between the slabs, but we have a six-year-old... I still like the idea though. I definitely plan to use butterfly keys to hold them together. Depending on how much wood I...
Prashun, that's a good idea. I'll definitely have to see what it looks like to have the slabs at angle to each other with a triangular filler between.

Hmmm. In terms of price paid, local mills are in the neighborhood of about $5 to $6 a board foot for cherry retail, plus a 10% to 20% premium for wide stuff greater than 10 inches wide. I paid less...
Art,
Yep. I think I'll keep her :)
I plan on transforming them into a slab table, so I'll keep a live edge on the boards--cracks and all. The boards on the right side of the picture are a...
I guess this is a kind of a gloat. Picked up some slabs from Craig's list this weekend:

I just finished a pair of built-ins flanking the fireplace:

I had a similar situation...
Please count me in too. Thanks.
Ater more than two years of no cable at all, we just couldn't take it anymore. We just ordered U-Verse. We'll probably spend the next two months watching HGTV and DIY all day. Maybe even see a...
Jordan,
Tom's slider looks very similar to the one on a Robland X31 combination machine. I have one in the shop. And although I don't have any pictures yet, I also use Grizzly's T10223 sliding...
Ryan,
No. The sliding table, when locked, protrudes by about 4" to the back of the saw, and 12" to the front. The table itself is about 4' long, and the saw, with fence rails, is about 32"...
Ryan,
I have the 691 with the sliding table (and still owe the Creek a review of the sliding table). In short, I'd recommend both. The sliding table was relatively easy to set up, and it is...
I'm in the process of finishing mine...and I messed up the slot. One extra kerf exactly an inch away from where I wanted it. :eek: So I balanced things out by cutting another one exactly an inch...
Me too! Thanks.
About six or seven years ago, we went with a Capresso and really liked it. It lasted about three years. Replaced it with another Capresso that lasted about two years. Replaced that with a...
Looks great! Please include me too.
Jeff
You could always try a Bosch 1587. There are still a few available from Amazon.
Another vote for making sure everything is square. One question: what kind of countertop will you put on the lower cabinets? If granite (or something heavy), I'd rest the sides on the bottom (on a...
