I think I'm going to need photos of this setup and photos of the weird furniture.

I think a lot of router table stuff falls into "kind of / sort of" a waste once you get a shaper. The router lift I bought is "good" and I thought fairly expensive (jess em) but it turned out to be...

Doesn't sound like I have nearly as much experience as Stephen here, but I also like using hand planes to get lumber prepped for jointing when the curves are bad.

Jointing a twisted board is hard....

There's a good video on YouTube of a guy setting up his shaper w lock mitre. I used that for reference and thought setting them up was pretty easy.

I do have a manual up and down in addition...

Also, can I just say something is obvious, since we are mainly discussing private ownership (not commercial) in this thread?

We're debating / squabbling about an future (if you want a brand new...

I don't understand why there is a gap in 10 to 25 hp motors other than I guess a market? There's a famous sportscar w/ a 300 mile range. There are companies making electric boat motors for...

Yeah, it's a hobby you can take as seriously as you want. I personally don't grow food unless it's really simple and forgiving. My strawberries have taken over an entire garden box on their own. I...

I so far haven't had a big enough baltic birch job to order bulk. My biggest job was melamine and in that instance I ordered from the cab CNC shop (i.e. parts, not sheets). I've had some pretty...

I don't think people think flowers etc are bad.. i assume they think flowers and other perennials are hard to maintain.

Every year since I've owned me house (8 years) I've torn out more and more...

We do have to figure out how to recycle lithium and people are working on it. There isn't enough lithium on the planet to support our energy needs.

That said, energy is only going to get more...

Tom,

Do you do a lot of shop work and on site work? If so, does that mean having double the tools?

My problem is that I am using many of the same tools on site as I do in my shop. Staying...

I'm just curious (I'm not complaining or trying to get everyone riled up) what the average mark up is on lumber in a yard? I'm especially curious about Baltic Birch..

I once called a CNC shop to...

How much of a pain is it to replace the spindle bearings?

I thought I would do this on my griggio but once I saw it in person I was intimidated.. I'm not usually too shy about taking a machine...

Lol, we have a lot of the "incompetent but connected" in Utah for sure. It's practically the culture here!

I'm happy for you Malcolm! Congrats on the success.

I have so many thoughts on...

My assy table grew in length a bit for a project.. pretty ugly and unfortunately has a dip that I need to fix down the road...

But, it's going to be nice for my 10 ft project!

11 ft...

Thanks much!

Do you have photos of some these colors you've tried? Sounds cool

Thanks much (and Jim). Yeah, I would be adding the cost to the job and I think it ultimately would be more expensive to the customer than just using white oak. It's for a fairly straight forward...

Interesting...

I didn't think two coats of Rubio was acceptable. I've done it before when I had to fix some problems, but the product didn't seem to happy about it. How long did you let Rubio...

I'm curious what the 07 profile is used for?

Hi,

Is there a good (cheaper) wood to use to create a color like white oak via staining? (Probably not worth it after labor to stain anyway, but thought I would ask)

Any thoughts on this machine? Good or bad?

Thanks much and cheers,

The casing or the jamb? I've never thought of using screws on the casing..

This machine goes for 3k.. but after this discussion this idea may be dead in the water anyway. (http://www.machineryconsultants.com/used-machines/details/cincinnati-contour-master-milling-machine)

I've definitely seen those on the used market. Very cool machinery. I've never much liked rounded slots and I certainly don't have enough work to justify a "Production machine" yet... If I were to...

I just bought the veneered panels pre banded from a cabinet CNC shop. It's a pretty repetitive pattern. Looks better on doors and 24 inch panels than it does on the huge 42" cabinet (in my...
