Thanks, Scott! I'll wait a month and skip the wax.
How long should I let the final coat of Waterlox cure before I use the paper bag method of removing nibs? Also, I should use MS or just the paper bag? Last question: Should I wax the surface when I'm...
Not whining. The dust collection port was fine when I opened it and set up the table. In the interim, it broke. It shouldn't have. (I have a similar button;).
I will indeed let it go. I'll probably sell it. I posted this because I think people on this website deserve to know how some companies treat their customers. JessEm is at the bottom on my list.
It was fine when I originally put it together. Look at the photo: it's either a material defect or design defect.
I agree! I have a bunch of their layout tools, and they're outstanding.
It's not the 10 or 20 bucks. It's the principle. Also, there's that nonsense on their website about "standing behind" their products.
Nope, nothing has fallen on it. Not a mark on it.
I bought a JessEm router table a couple of years ago but have never used it. It's just been sitting out in my heated shop. But today was the day! Or it was supposed to be. As I was getting ready to...
I think it's the same people hoarding dictionaries. ;)
You might want to try Walt at Brass City Tools. He's a great guy and has reasonable prices.
Harry,
Me too for a set, if you're up to it.
All best,
J.D.
I think this thread belongs in the General Woodworking forum.
Yeah, I love it. And I'm glad that we live in a time that allows us to be able to get such fine tools from people like Mike Wenzloff, Rob Lee, Tom Lie-Nielsen, Dave Jeske, Joel Moskowitz, Rob...
Thanks, Chris. I think yours is closer to what I had in mind.
Tony--the Adrias are carcass saws (one rip, one x-cut).
I got the Gramercy DT last year when I realized it was going to take quite a while to get the Wenzloff...
Rick--which was about 14 months.
Chris--do you have a photo of your bench?
Thanks.
Thanks for all the input, guys. Roubo it is!
J.D.
That's my next plane!
David,
Moon ebony is also known as mun ebony (Diospyros Mun), and it has beautiful colors (black, green, brown, tan). As far as I know, this is Mike's first saw with this type of wood.
Just got my new Wenzloff dovetail saw. The handle is made of moon ebony, and the saw weighs in at 15 oz. For comparison: my Gramercy dovetail saw weighs 7 oz., and my Adria carcass saws weigh 17.5 oz...
I just got a benchtop made of ash. It's 96" long, 30" wide, and a shade under 2 3/4" thick. (It shipped at 270 pounds). My plan is for bench that's 24" wide and the full 96" long.
Is this sucker...
count me in!
Or get a set from Greg Droz--he does beautiful work:

He made a set out of macassar ebony for my LN 4 1/2 smoother.
Count me in!
