    I've had some troubles with that glue when it is too cold. 30 minutes might work when it is 70+ out but when it is colder it turns into an overnighter.

    Yes and no to the OP. There is some extra mass so things won't stall quite as easily. Btw, I actually have a 90's sears saw and a 50's sears saw and there is a little difference but not a ton. The...

    I have an idea that without a breaker, you might use a standard angle of 50 or 55 instead of 45. I'm not sure if not having a breaker is why but some woody makers seem to do that. Try some of the...

    I have two saws with smaller motors. I leave the 24tooth in as much as possible. You can push quite a bite faster. Noticably on 1" but moreso as the stock gets thicker. What does a rip blade...

    If you need consistent cuts, you can just use a long, skinny stick with a short block nailed to it for a stop. Use that to space your fence from the edge and it will be a lot closer than "measuring"...

    Rick, it was common in some places to put a pipe IN the concrete under the doorway. It looks ugly but works pretty well imo, but it was done when they poured the concrete.

    They are lessons. I'm paranoid about dados for back pieces. I almost always pencil where the dado will come out. I'm sure there is a reason although I cannot remember it. I'm sure that day...

    I was reading about them somewhere else. The drawback they brought up was the things don't have any friction. You could launch your cabinet saw across the floor.......

    Actually, when you can find a 100 year old woody in decent shape, it probably didn't work right or at least it wasn't anyone's favorite tool because the favorite tool would have been worn out from...

    I have that little one. It is too tiny for me to hold. I would just buy the larger one. I would buy a regular angle one too. Actually, I bought some of the replacement blades and made bodies for...

    Rick, if you have a wood door now, I'd try a retainer and rubber like on this page http://www.garagedoorsupply.com/bottom-seal.html It isn't real cheap but it'll soak up 1/2" or so of gap. +/- if you...

    I'd run stretchers between the side legs and between the back legs too. That would prevent racking and the connections at the top wouldn't be so important. You could also use some sort of knock...

    I don't know that I would want to watch norm do that much gluing and nailing but I wish the previous 25 years of woodwright shop was available.

    I just bought that saw. The cast iron base must be awesome compared to the sheet metal one. The sheet metal one has problems. The only thing I'm annoyed with is replacing the step pulley on the...

    I UNDERSTAND EXACXTLY! I spent yesterday playing with a really uglier version of that. I discovered the drive pulley was BENT! My cheap little saw shakes so bad. That is a nice fix.

    When I was a kid we had a homegrown grinder with a small motor like that. The blade was a partially used chop saw wheel. It is nice to have the skinny wheel sometimes.
