My daughter and I went to a grocery store and got boxes and a bunch of tape, and then took it to the PO. Shipping 5bf cost about 120.

my pastor contact was smarter. He got 24-inch priority mail...

And more of both than skill.

Hi John

Your formula for the inverse relationship between opinion tenacity and value seems on target. I will need to watch for that in myself.

Yes, I've enjoyed collecting the tools and...

Thanks for the rescue. But I have miscommunicated. I have no intention of making a living with Koa. Selling some was just a thought to offset some of the cost for wood - most of which I am...

After a great newcomer experience, when everyone as been 100 percent kind, helpful, giving, encouraging, and really smart, you have made yourself the first exception. Get out some popcorn and...

Do I detect sarcasm? What's with the devastation comment?

Thanks

So if I get a spiral planer, I'll be OK? And follow the other suggestions about painting ends? The wood isn't ruined yet?

Is another option selling some of it to offest the cost?

I...

Here's what I'm talking about:

The bottom board is about 11 inches on the wide end, and about 7 on the narrow end. Few if any of the wide sides are parallel or the same thickness, and the...

Thanks for the article. This has been stored in my non-damp basement, stacked flat on the floor, and then on a shelf. Since last June. Am I too late to save it? There still is a lot of wood with...

Thanks for your help.

I have not worked with it other than some cuts and sanding during attempted knife handle making.

If it doesn;t do well in thickness planing, how do I get it square? I...

I bought the first batch for somebody to make into canoe paddles. Done. I also want to build jewelry boxes, knife handles, crosses, simple projects from a couple of the woodworker magazines, a...

Thanks for your help.

does this mean the wood is ruined?

I'm new to this, and assuming cracks have to be worked around; material for a project cannot have a crack in it, or is there a way to...

I bought a quantity of koa last June.

For some reason I have a deep interest in Koa.

The pieces are irregular, some 3 inches thick by 11 inches wide on one end, and 3x7 on the other, about 36...

In looking over the manual closer, I found some guidance on gib adjustment. But I'm not grasping what constitutes proper gib adjustment. And what is the "outboard" edge of the table? How does one...

Thanks

any suggestions which knives to go with? I see a set on Amazon for $19, another Amazon set of original delta for $60, and various aftermarket options ranging up to $100 for all-carbide.

I spent the morning yesterday with the manual. The fence slop disappeared upon tightening a knob. I managed to get the outfeed table moving and adjusted. And I set the knives level with and...

Thanks Howie

I have a Laguna 14 inch band saw and a craftsman 113 table saw. And a new Rockler router table.

I learned here that a planer should be the next purchase then a jointer, but when I...

I grabbed it for $180, and now must figure it out. I found a manual online.

I have are noticed that the fence will pivot very slightly and have not figured out how to lock that down or whether...

How do I get this square and create minimal waste?

Tools on hand include a 14 inch laguna band saw, a table saw absent a good fence (for now; the fence I have requires very careful measuring and...

Is this an ok way to go for a noob hobbyist?

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/tls/4436999703.html

My hope is to locate an older (well made) jointer and planer, following the strategy I started...

I hope this isn't a stupid question --

The Pro 40 Vega looks beefier and it's also cheaper than the U26.

I don't need a 40-inch capacity. PLus space is an issue. Is there some downside to...

The vega guy will not call back and the U26 that was out of stock on Amazon at $228 or whatever has been replaced by one from Rockler for $328. So bad customer service and availability other than at...

Thanks to you for this good input as well.

I have read every post carefully and plan to follow every suggestion. Best regards

Thanks Stew

I'll give the guy at Vega a call. I was happy to see that company is near my home town.

Thanks all for the help and the reassurance about my learning curve.

I did put on a link belt based on guidance in another thread and it did make a nice difference, after I installed it the right...
