Jerry-
I think these two little slabs/boards are stable enough and haven't moved much since i cut them to dimension about 4 months ago (other projects jumped ahead for a while), however, there's is...

from L to R: 1) original glue-up ; 2) pre-glue-up with sipo "end caps" ; 3) start of tenons (table and tenons got shorter as I tested and retested my patience, all the way...

Ive finally got pics which would make things a lot easier to understand- but I've never actually posted the photo's so i'm trying to figure this out...

I enjoy working with the sipo as well. I like to give it a quick flash with espresso or kona big box minwax stain... wax on, wax off... and it gives it a nice dark tone without overdoing it. the...

That is exactly what it is. although, after starting to cut the mortises by hand with a 5/8 mortise chisel, im getting closer and closer to considering a little "trimming". The determining factor in...

I am making a small dinning table out of ambrosia maple and sipo mahogany. TBH... this post is ill-prepared... I'm at my office and I dont have my exact measurements with me, nor do I have any photos...

I'm looking very seriously at the 1023 now myself. Ever find yourself wishing you'd added the "w" and had the router table addition? Its currently only a $100 difference between the RL and RLW which...

This is the first thread I've ever come across w/o a response... I think there are more using the jig than will admit... haha
"we hand cut our dovetails on SC!" haha

If i could afford the luxury...

This is why I love SC. Cant get input like this from reliable sources anywhere else. Thanks for the advice Gregory.
As of now, I have a band, track, and a sliding compound, so I'd be using it much...

Seems to be everyone is in agreement about the Grizzly and Laguna, or a used Unisaw. Maybe I should post a poll? Might be interesting to see the results if the choices are narrowed down a bit.

So I have a little correction to make- there was an old receptacle that had simply been covered up by the previous owner with a co-ax cover... why? I cant be sure. But upon realizing that there was...

Thanks Glenn. Let me know how it goes when the F2 arrives!

Thanks for the input Glenn. What you get from you cabinet sums up what I am really looking for, and is the reason the Kobalt is on the chopping block. I'm just tired of needing that perfect cut and...

If I was forced to pick either new or used I'd say new, but I'm really not opposed to used. I don't mind a little restoration but I would like to avoid anything too time consuming. I often find...

I really hope I'm not being "that guy" and posting a thread that already exists somewhere, but I tried searching the site and didn't find what I was looking for..

Brief background:
I'm still just...

Great thread. I WAS planning on buying a Baleigh Industrial air filtration system... then the shiupping cost on a $380 unit came out to $180... no thanks... I'll just die... but seriously- I am now...

Yeah... I don't think they realize that for the most part, the "flood zone" is everything south of I-10. Although I've often fantasized of a workshop/treehouse... if for nothing else, the irony of...

well said Jim

yeah... I gotta be honest, Paul's video's are probably the most informative, but they can be difficult for someone with severe ADD to stay with lol. Ive always been one to favor cliff notes myself-...

Im starting to think i might end up drawing the same conclusion Mike. Cough up the cash and be done with it.

i dont trust myself enough to saw on the baseline with anything! haha. I fully expect to continue using a chisel in the end, but hopefully to remove less waste than i do now. My current approach is...

yeah, I sometimes tend to use too many words that say far too little. Obviously the equipment doesnt make the dovetail. I noticed on several videos that when using a fret, waste removal seems to be...

I've found myself doing the same

<p>
Ive got a bit of an issue with my dovetails and could use some suggestions. Im not a novice- Ive got a little bit of experience, and my hand cut tails have improved over time, to the point that...

Brad,
i think your right. In the words of lord vader, embrace the dark side
