Hi TIm,

I have had the Jorgensen Cabinet Clamps. I now have Bessys and the new Jet Clamps that another poster posted the link to. I have used all of them on projects and I like the Jets the best....

Thanks to all for your very kind responses!

I hate to admit it but I am a neat freak if you haven't picked up on that :rolleyes: The Military (Navy) ruined me for life. On a ship you learn...

Hi Bob,

I was just waiting to get everything back in place and get the DC hooked up before I put the mats back down. I wouldn't be able to work on that floor all day without them :)

Thanks!...

Thanks Bob! But I don't have a Sawstop. For DC I have a HF DC and I'll be piping that in with pvc.

I love watching his show on...

I'm going today! Be there around Noon or so. I am going with a fellow ww'r from the Chicago area.

Have a great day!

I can't take credit for that, I got the idea from SMC's very own Dave Anderson ;) Thanks to all for your kind comments.

John

I was given a pile of junk lumber from a friend and this is what I made out of it after I pulled all the nails and staples, etc..... The tongue and groove is perfect for holding the saws upright. The...

Sorry ;)


Thanks,
John

I vote for build as well.....

I built this one using a rockler top, extended the top with melamine (sp) and used an old kitchen cabinet for the base. The fence is a Freud with zero clearance...
