Whatever they have to do to keep the lights on, doors open, and all of us safe from the ubiquitous Orange Goblin is fine by me! ;)

Hey John, welcome to SMC. Look forward to seeing some of your work if you get a chance to post photos. Can't tell you how envious I am of your time spent at Irion Company. Sorry it ended prematurely,...

I understand what you mean 100%. In this instance I was underwhelmed with what I was coming up with personally, so I wanted to see as many different approaches to the same "project" I am messing...

Very nice work Jeff, thanks for the inspiration.

Jack, those are gorgeous. Hope they play half as nice as they look. ;)

Couldn't have said it better. (Though I love building drawers. ;) )

FWIW, these aren't kitchen cabinets. Regardless, my professional and moral integrity prohibits me from approaching any project...

If you're going for a new system, check Micro Express. Very high quality components that will last years to come.

Ditch both and buy Milwaukee! :D

I've been lucky with recon cordless tools, but have had to replace a faulty battery once(Milwaukee coincidentally). Wasn't an issue other than the 6 weeks being...

Hard to beat the versatility of the D/B, but for me the drum sander is one of those "how did I live without you?!" pieces.

Great grab! Waiting on the part of the story where you looked in the box one last time and found a dozen Porter Cable 310's hiding out... :cool:

Echoing the Bessey love. On the larger side, I have three 72" all steel no-name's gifted from a neighbor 15+ years ago. They don't get much use, and can get in the way but have you ever tried to get...

Somewhat off topic but Rockler gives consistent great customer service in my opinion.

Not on the lists, thanks for the heads up!

Never considered that opportunity. Brand-wise, I assume I can't go wrong with Powermatic? I'll contact my dealer after Thanksgiving to see if they might have anything coming off lease that I could...

Awesome Mike, thanks!

Thanks again to everyone for your insight. Thinking outsourcing the doors is best for now. They arrive fully sanded and ready for finish so I can't really ask for more. Sure, they're not free, but...

Strictly for business, so picturing dust accumulating upon a $3000 shaper drives me crazy. For now I think outsourcing is the best option. Besides labor, it's one less piece of equipment to call my...

That's my gut feeling. Another consideration: For now they're milled from Cypress, but if say Oak comes into the picture, I think it'll be a completely different experience.

I would avoid large scale glue-ups or finishing jobs.

First project on the new bench: a not-so-nice bench for just those tasks.

Doing a small run of raised panel doors in the shop, currently outsourcing these to a local manufacturer. There's a pretty good chance I'll need these regularly in the coming year. If I choose to...

Anyone have plans for a laptop lap desk or something similar? I think a serving tray plan would also suffice. Any recommendations as far as materials to use or avoid are appreciated too. Thanks!

Awesome table Rob. I looked through your G+ album, definitely showcases the LED functionality better. So... how much with shipping to 30215? :D
