    It was great to meet you Ted. I didn't realize you were from Pittsburgh. I'm a lifelong Steelers fan, but out here we have to get a satellite dish or go to a bar to watch the games on Sunday.

    How to calculate

    Well, not so much calculate as approximate. The Fibonacci sequence simply adds the last 2 numbers in the sequence to get the next, so it goes 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 etc. Now look at the ratio...

    Timberwolf, in my experience, may drift less, but they wander more because of the low tension. If you want the best resawing performance, get a high tension carbide blade from Lenox and an...

    I can't speak to the shop pro 25, but I have a 22-44 which I like a lot except for 2 things. The machine is a bear to set up. When you think you have it right, you probably don't. It took 3 or 4...

    I buy them in bulk packages of 50 discs from Woodworkers Warehouse. I don't remember the brand name, but they are very low cost.

    Don't take it personally

    I've had to be the guy on the other side of the desk on occasion, and I'll tell you that this is really the only way it's done any more. From a company perspective it has to be this way. Usually,...

    George,

    You can simply glue the mitered sides, but I wouldn't recommend it. Splines work best for me, but you can always use decorative joinery such as finger, dovetail, etc.

    The real concern...

    What do you need to know?

    Mac,

    I've made a bunch of them. In fact, one of my humidors won the Badger Pond 2x4 contest last year (it was a box, made entirely out of one 2x4, I added the Spanish cedar lining later). If you...

    David,

    About the cats, it's because they like to get into fights, with other cats, racoons, skunks, porcupines, you name it, they'll get in a fight with it. This is especially true with males. ...

    I used to have one of those.

    I like the dual handwheels and the fence design, which are the only things really separating this jointer from any number of Taiwan/China 6" jointers out there. Some use a different fence or levers,...

    I hope I don't offend anyone with this post, because that's not my intention. There's nothing personal here, but I just gotta say what's on my mind about this subject.

    I don't like to use MDF for structural applications, like the side of a desk. It takes paint well, but it is VERY heavy, and does not hold screws very well. Also highly susceptible to moisture. ...

    More opinions than bandsaws

    IMO, if you want a 16" machine, and I think that's a good idea, spend a few more dollars than you planned on and get the Laguna LT16. I'll spare you the specs, but it's a MUCH better saw than a 14"...

    I have 2 dogs but don't allow them in the shop. Too many things to get broken and too many ways for dogs to get hurt or at least covered in sawdust.
