Count me in.

Thanks!

Definitely Maple.

UPS dropped off a package from Lee Valley yesterday. This was a bit of a surprise since I didn't have anything on order from them (this week!). Inside was the following letter:

"RE: 05P39.50...

Woodcraft also has them on sale. If you live near one, Woodcraft's is a better deal since you don't pay shipping and you can check it for flatness before you buy. I've built two benchs from these...

I use the same setup as Bill Huber. I like the SawJaw because it's simple, protects the blades teeth and makes installing and removing blades a piece of cake.

I built this cabinet last year. I've been hesitant to upload the pictures because of the inevitable comments about my hand plane collection. (Yes, I have a hand plane addiction and I am dealing...

Check out a commercial site like ULINE. I bought a box of 100 - 36" x 48" 4 mil clear poly bags for $89. These fit my drum easily and haven't failed me like the bags I tried from the big box stores....

David, I got the idea that the iron in the Mujingfang polishing plane is made from A2 steel from The Japan Woodworker catalog. I did finally use a extra coarse diamond stone to get the back flat....

I've seen polishing planes advertised in the Japan Woodworker catalog and was intrigued by the name. The name implies to me that this plane it will leave a smoother (e.g. polished) surface than I...

I had one a few years ago. I was never able to consistently get the wheel and tool rests parallel to each other. The results where always uneven and led to non-square blades. I dumped it on eBay.

I've been using breather mesh from Joe Woodworker (VeneerSupplies dot com) for a couple of years now with no problems. I prefer the mesh to making and storing platens.

I have a complete set of Shapton professional stones from 120 up to 12,000 (fantastic eBay deal) and they all look like Mike's - one material all the way through.

Please include me in the MicroFence drawing.

I have a flat screen TV with a DVD hooked up to it. Both the TV and DVD player collect dust but neither seem to be bothered by it. Every so often I use compreesed air to blow the dust out.

My Incra router table top (I built my own base) does double duty as my table saw outfeed table. I mounted the Kreg fence on this table. The installation was very straight forward. I did route a slot...

Nope, never built anything that I consider perfect and don't expect that I ever will. But, I do enjoy the quest for perfection. My greatest expectation is to not make the same mistake more than a few...

Not a good picture, but it looks like the motor is on the right side. If so, it's a right tilt. Considering the included dust collector $900 is (in my opinion) just a 'OK' price.

I use mine mostly to flatten my waterstones.

Well, there goes the hot tub and the new kitchen cabinets I was planning. :mad:! At least I have some time to come up with some really creative excuses for why I need to invest more money in tools.

I have the 0609 connected to an Oneida 3 HP Super Gorilla. I have about a 25 foot run of 6" spiral pipe to a 6" gate. There's about a 6 foot run of 6" inch flexible tubing between the gate and...

I've had several different radial arm saws. My first was a newer Craftsman and I experienced all of the problems keeping it aligned that others have reported. I sold it and bought and old 10" 2HP 120...

After one year with the G0609X all I can say is YES, YES, YES!:D

I use the Penn State Industries Cyclone Bin Sensor. It's a paddle that fits in the collection drum and is driven by a low voltage motor. When the bin fills up and restricts the rotation of the paddle...

Lee Valley sells two different Jointer Fences. http://www.leevalley.com/images/item/woodworking/planes/05p3001s1.jpg
One has magnets that attach it to any metal jointer. The other, and the one I...

You can use a thin kerf splitter (.100") with a full kerf blade (.125"), but you can not use a full kerf splitter with a thin kerf blade.
