Was his name Gino Russo? He once showed me a chalice he made for a trip he was taking to Rome. I only met him once, 1984 or 85, very nice man.

When you know what saw/blade length you're getting, I would suggest starting with Supercut Blades. They are far less expensive than many of the names...

It's a good middle of the road saw, IMO It's a step up from a cast iron 14" Asian import or Delta clone and not so expensive that it kills your...

With all due respect, That's your experience, mine and others are not quite the same. I have resawn Sapele, 9 1/2" with my Grizzly GO513 and did not...

Ssssshhhh keep quiet, everything is going smooth, so far As to fences, I don't really care for any of the extruded aluminum (usually...

You just did it :rolleyes: I agree with John TenEyck 100%

Another reason for height/resaw capacity, is when using sleds, jigs and so on. My sled is 3/4" thick and there are times when I could certainly use...

The jaw "flexing" into position, conforming to the work piece, can also blunt or round-over the edges of said piece if leather or cork aren't used.

Personally, I think 2hp is minimum for resawing 12" lumber. It can be done with less but it would be very slow going, as you're aware. A saw that...

You could always go for a combo...

William, I looked quite a bit this morning and couldn't find any information on that topic one way or the other. I was going to suggest that you...

Thanks a lot, I thought I was looking at the wrong finish at first. I appreciate it, good info to have.

John, thanks for the info on those finishes. I don't see where Kem Aqua Plus has a dual UV package, I'm not seeing the "HALS", could you direct me....

I wouldn't expose it to sunlight if I could avoid it. The color (mineral staining) can last years if cared for. I have some that's quite old that...

Well as always, it depends. Certainly you can get a catch but I never found it that likely, You are cutting with the lower (right) wing, this...

Personal preference of course. Most BOB gouges are just a very basic straight accross grind. The left wing really isn't doing any cutting. If...

Wonderful pomelle figure on hte doors It looks great to me and I'm guessing, almost 7' tall? Nice work

Thanks Maurice, I love it :)

As much as I'd like to do a simple tent, during the winter our winds are too strong for it to withstand. If I build something with a roof, it will be...

Thanks Jim, that's what I'm doing now. Just checking to see if anyone has any other clever solutions

If you're eventually going to cover it with drywall or T&G, I wouldn't go to the trouble of adding any additional layers of scrim paper or anything....

Edwin, I think you and Brian are correct, I could have worded the question better but I fear none of it would make a difference. In gross...

Time will tell indeed, there is no rule set in stone, lots of variable at play. Here are a few things the OP and possibly others might find useful....

There is fitted and then there's fitted. Top chisel looks to be fitted well but maybe on the tight side. Middle chisel has virtually no gap, that's...

Well now you should be off to the races with projects, looks good

Thanks for the laugh, I needed that :D

They just keep coming https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68848098

I apologize to the OP for the thread going sideways. I intended my post to be within the theme and offered it as humor. Apparently some prefer to...
