Embrace the technology, I recommend a saw stop. Since purchasing mine I have yet to go to the shop and say, I wish I had spent less for a saw. Instead I say I'm glad I got the correct saw (for me)...

OK, cut little finger tonight pretty good. Like a surgical knife type cut. Was using the 1/2 inch chisel to chop an ash mortis to see how it was performing and the chisel slipped out of my grasp,...

Thanks Andrew for the tip. It comes with a small tube 100% pharmaceutical grade oil. What ever that is.
Do you add oil before each use of only at the first set up. I got it added to the new leather...

Well I sharpened 8 chisels yesterday getting acquainted with the all new T8.
All I can say is razor blade sharp for a chisel. The chisels are so sharp I am amazed.
I did get the truing device and...

I made this for my water stones - purchased some Naniwa traditional stones and want to keep the water contained as much as possible.

Look what showed up this morning..

Ordered the newT8 from Tormek.
I hope it is worth the investment.

Never sharpened anything in my life. Always had to have it sent out to get done by professional. There's always the wait period...

Riving knife- yes, in any and all saws you can get one on.

I know - I love spending my kids inheritance.. :D

Well I am looking at the T8 and a set of Naniwa water stones to use in combination with each other. I have never sharpened my chisels beyond the factory edge. Only used some sand paper to try and I...

Here is a video of mine.

I invested in a set of Freud's last year off of Amazon. They are the ones made in Austria. Very good quality and stay sharp a long time. But they were over $200 though.

Guess what come today??
Early Christmas present... Can't open until Christmas. Delivery was flawless and carted right up to my garage.

My new 76" sjobergs...

I really like the coffee scoops. What a great idea.

Sjobergs owners, has anyone installed the cork padding to the vises jaws?

There seems to be a lot of talk about the 1" dog holes and very limited accessories but I just like the overall look of the bench.

You got it.

Hi John, Thanks for the comment.
The breadboard ends are held with biscuits and only glued in the middle so the edges can move with seasonal adjustments. When doing this as you know you need...

Well,
I found what I think is a great deal on line at an e-bay store for this bench so I ordered one today.
It comes with:
Work bench
Drawers and center cabinet
Accessory kit.

I really was...

Raise the saw I did. I took it from 34" to 35 & 5/8 in. Standing at the saw feels really weird now with the different height. I have been regularly using the saw since I got it around March. So I...

Yes I did think of this but not sure how it would work out.

Fred,
Thanks for the reply, I have been thinking that as I take a board into the saw maybe at a low angle for a few feet would not be the worst thing or I could just move the work bench slightly for...

Bill,
Looking at the assembly instructions it appears the leg assembly is one unit for shipping. I am not sure how I could brake them apart?? assuming they are glued and doweled from the factory.
