Before I made the original post, I had done a quick search "Where are SawStop saws made" and the result was advertised as headquartered in Tualatin, Oregon. I guess that changed. Oh well... Or,...
My little, biased opinion would think that if you were buying new, go with the SawStop. Safety. Also, and maybe just as important, you will be paving roads in the USA.
I really like your approach to the cajon! I agree, I'd love to hear you play it! My son got in to these and has built several (with good ol' dad's "help" of course!). He has really enjoyed the...

I've been out of work since June. I have been trying to get some projects to do in my shop, but so far, nothing has really come along. My situation is a little odd. After successfully running an...
I agree with Lee. My first inclination was Hemlock...
The simplest ones I've seen are a shed type of structure with the high side the view side. So just 2 tall posts and 2 shorter posts with a beveled plate across each pair. Since it's not structural,...
