I can't help you with your question, but wanted to say "hi." I'm trying very hard to move that way and become a Maine woodworker in a few years.

CL is great and fun to browse, but changing from city to city gets old for me. I found craiglook.com that does a much nicer job of showing posts within a radius of a city.
Chad,
I just went out to the garage to look at my 444Z because that sounded familiar. My solution was to leave the belt guard off. I was a bit nervous about it until I built a folding outfeed...
Which would you choose for someone who has put tool to spinning wood once over 20 years ago on my BIL's Shopsmith to see how it felt? Are the two variable speed models worth the extra $100-$150?

Chris,
I was wondering what happened to that SawStop - glad it ended up in a good home. Now you have to figure out who to donate that under-powered 3HP SawStop to *cough*.
I used the dealer lookup function from the SS website and it shows Woodcraft and another store in the Denver area. Today I was in the Woodcraft in Colorado Springs and they had the contractor saw on...
I have a Grizzly contractor saw that's only a few years old and has only been used a small amount. I've done some additions to it with an outfeed table and right-side router in the extention. It...
Jason, I made a split style router fence that I clamp to the right side of my table saw fence to use with my extension table mounted router and it works great.

My local Safeway
Tom, it was re-featured in America's Best Home Workshops 2010. I just picked up the issue at the store and read it before dinner, and after dinner I see you post with pics here!
I have that unit too in my 2 car garage. The space is insulated but the garage door doesn't seal well at all. Even so, the heater on a low setting keeps the space nice even through sub-zero...
I'm curious about those of you who have built a separate stand-along shop building and still consider yourself a non-professional woodworker. If woodworking is your business then I'm assuming it's a...
I use an apron from Duluth Traiding Company. It's canvas and has cross back style straps so it rests on my shoulders and not my neck. Cheap and effective.
Thanks Mike, I actually read a previous post of yours mentioning this very thing even before I bought the jointer. When I set it up I saw the pin and had an "Ah Ha" moment
Only here could I get...
Inside the jointer head box you can see the foam around all sides. The top foam panel comes out to reveal the jointer head, hand wheels, guard, knobs, and packages of screws and bolts. Everything...
I took half of a lucky jackpot from a nearby casino to my local Woodcraft and picked up a Jet JJ-6CSX 6" Jointer. Of course I wanted an 8" aircraft carrier, but realized I just don't have the space...
On the recent poll regarding tax software I chimed in that I have used TaxAct for several years. My state program was just finished and I plugged all my numbers into the program last night. You can...
I'll be watching this thread...my very first bandsaw is on the shipping truck and due late next week. This is not my gloat since I don't have my obligitory pictures yet - will as soon as it arrives!
When I built mine I used hardware from Rockler. Their "Folding Leg Bracket" (#39505) works great and hold the leg locked in either the up or down position. At the end of each leg I used their...
I can certainly relate to this issue. I left a large employer with great group health insurance rates to be a self-employed consultant. I get a good rate, but now my wife and I have individual...
Woodcraft was just the place I thought had these too. I did find a URL to them:
http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?FamilyID=3703
I have no experience with these, just thought I'd pass on the...
I can't do the poll since I use TaxAct. I've used it for many years and always been very happy. They have all the typical services like federal & state returns, e-files, and printed copies. It...
Matt,
You may remember this post a while back:

I made it with out of MDF scrap and some melamine split faces. I just clamp it to the table...
Funny you should mention that - I BOUGHT 3! I should hold a rabbit's foot, rub the belly of Buda, kiss the Blarney stone, and toss salt over my shoulder too. The Power Ball would get a new shop...
Yesterday my wife convinced me to take her down the road to Cripple Creek to do some low limit gambling. I wasn't too thrilled at first since I usually end up losing my shirt and have been lamenting...
