    saw

    Make that 3 for the 2000. I've had mine for a year and a half (50" fence) and love it. It's the "pride and joy" of all my tools. Did I mention that I like it?

    glue ups

    I agree with Tony. If at all possible width wise, go through after the glue-up. If you have a wide belt sander, that's what I'd use, assuming your glue up is pretty accurate. Otherwise the sanding...
  3. ceiling hit.

    10' over 8', definitely! I have no problems with the 10' that I have. I know 8' would give me trouble.

    R&S doors

    Yes, you "generally" use the same thickness. Raised or even depends on where you locate the panel. The back doesn't really matter as it doesn't show. I have seen some backs that look as nice as the...

    meter

    When I built my shop last year, I was going to do the same as you, but found out the extra charges PLUS they were going to charge the shop at a commercial rate (?!). I ended up changing the meter to...

    saw

    IMO, the grizzly is 10 times the saw as the ridgid. Not that the ridgid is bad, just that a cabinet saw is a LOT more saw than a contractor type. That being said, the ridgid will be easy to...

    sawsall

    I've had a porter cable for years and use it regularly. Hasn't failed me yet. That being said...it doesn't have a button to keep the power on if I need a two handed/not on the trigger operation. Only...

    saw station

    I agree with Wayne. That's the way I'm set up and it works very well. I do a lot of the same things you are describing. You will be limited by going 8/8. As far as the other tools, they can set back...

    drill press

    I hate to throw this out there, as we know the feeling about most harbor freight "stuff", but I bought their floor model quite awhile ago and it has served me well. Since you are not doing very much...

    nailer

    Be sure you are using the proper nail. Galvanized or the like is the right choice. Moisture can get to the nails even under roofing. Staples would be the preferred choice if possible. Keep a light...

    doors

    My opinion would be the plywood will be fine. By your description, they will be so small that it would not be noticeable to anyone but you. Be sure to do the staining so as to not have the ply...

    blade

    For what it's worth, I had an Avanti blade (the chrome one) and it lasted a Looooong time in my TS. You know Freud has to be making or marketing the Ridgid now or they would never list it as better...

    pre stain

    I'm with Doug on the Shellac washcoat. I've used minwax with little noticeable results while the shellac/denatured alcohol worked very well to reduce blotching on Alder which tends to blotch like...

    ply storage

    I store mine on its eight foot side. I built a rack with a slight slope to it and covered with a piece of ply. This keeps the stack from bowing as it has a solid backing. My particular rack has a...

    back

    A nice method is as Brent said...panels run across the back. Another is just to use a finish grade ply (birch,oak,etc.). Do your rabbit as normal and cover the joint with an outside corner if you...
  18. prefab counter

    I would definitely take a straightedge and check out the front lip. I think it might raise up a bit before it rounds over the edge. This would be a problem.

    stair bend

    I would try some bending ply or italian poplar (1/8") and laminate until you reach your thickness, then veneer the final layer. The Italian poplar will make that radius easily. Around here, Windsor...

    wood storage

    Of course, the rafters will be warmer and probably more moist, so it may not be a good idea to store there. I think some of these guys do, however, so hopefully they will chime in with their...

    I agree with Nate, it depends on your tools etc., and as he said it WILL be too small, no matter how big it is. You could use this planner to layout your space just for kicks....
