That's another beautiful piece, Dave. Thanks for sharing.

I have about half of a 3-car garage, and I use the Delta 50-760 1.5 Hp portable unit, with a single hose to the currently active machine. I added a cyclone pre-separator using a standard metal trash...

I bought a quart of 80W-90 gear lubricant for my Grizzly 15" 4-post planer at an auto parts store. I'd imagine that would be available near you as well.

Hi Gordon,

I'll second that -- that's a very nice looking bench, and a fantastic picture as well. I believe you mentioned in another post that you're also an advanced photographer -- how did...

Alex, that desk is looking beautiful. The design is well thought out, rich with interesting details, and the choice of veneers is superb. I can’t wait to see more...

Well that shows what I know about burl - there's no way I would have guessed just 20 lbs... I found your original post about the downed tree - that sure was a major score! Once again, very nice job...

Now that is one serious chunk of wood! Do you know how much it weighs? That figure is spectacular - did you do anything to enhance it, or is the coloration natural? The base is a very nice...

I've owned a G0514X2 for about a year and I think it's a great machine. I don't know anything about the Laguna, so I can't draw any comparisons, but I've had nothing but good experiences with the...

In the long-overdue category, I finally leveled the top of the leg/apron assembly of my workbench with a router sled so that the MDF top would have a flat reference surface underneath. I've worked...

That's a beautiful table. The top is stunning, and the base is the perfect complement to the top, being tasteful and interesting, but not distracting attention away from the spectacular top. Can't...

Very nice job on that. Those old timbers yielded some spectacular fleck patterns! The butterfly inlays look great - are they actually joining the frame members on the top? The chamfer edge...

What a difference - well done!

Kurt, heads up that you may need to boost up the saw inside the base with a piece of 3/4" plywood to give the bottom door enough clearance to open without hitting the base rail. I have that base...

John, that's very nice! Clean and simple, with plenty of visual interest due to the graceful curves. I love the contrast between the maple and the ebonized poplar. Seems like the materials costs...

Glenn, yes the brake just allows the blade to be stopped quickly and easily. As you mentioned, it's very nice when you need to change your setup and make another cut right away, but I generally stop...

I have the G0514X2, and I use the foot brake all the time - it's a very convenient feature!

Congrats. Mine arrived just like that, bolted down to a pallet. I unbolted it and rolled it right off the pallet using a makeshift ramp I made out of 2x4 scraps and a small piece of plywood. ...

Wow, that's very elegant and graceful looking. I'd also love to see more pictures, including the build process if you have coverage of it.

That's very elegant looking. Did you turn the legs yourself? Do you have any shots of the dovetails? Very nice job!

Thanks again to everyone for the many nice comments. It's very satisfying to get such great feedback from fellow woodworkers.

Mike, the top was edged with a profile bit and an MDF template. ...

David, thanks for the link - I've already placed an order for the book by Jeffrey Greene, and it looks like there's a lot of other great reading there as well...

Brent, beautiful job on that table and chairs. I know chairs are very difficult to make, and especially so for a set of 6. The finish on that walnut looks gorgeous.

Anyway, I actually have a...

John, thanks for the nice comment. There are actually three glue lines there. It's made from two boards, resawn from the same 8/4 stock, and while the original glue joint was very hard to see,...
