Elbow height sounds about right to me. You might want to start with a simple saw vise holder you can clamp in the bench vise to experiment with...

Very nice! That maple burl is beyond beautiful.

Lot of bench tops ,over time, will start to show some slightly open joints. But I’ve never seen one fall apart. The small openings are probably...

Had that planer - sold it last year as i didn't have space in my shop. now i have a dewalt 735. I had to add a dust collector hood to my G1021....

I read this with some amusement. I was gonna steer you towards Boos, or J. Aaron but then between the lines I realized you don't really want good....

They are both very classy, can we see inside?

I don't believe the Shop Fox would be much of an upgrade from your current lathe. The deficiency of the Jet 1236 lathe is the Reeves drive. The Shop...

People who do metalwork never go to Home Depot or Lowe's because they have almost no selection, and they charge about 4 times as much as metal...

This is a very old thread but there is some news. I saw a video on the Trotec Web Site recently about new software that Trotec has that works over a...

I have that vise. I think it cost me $125. It works pretty well. Be aware it can rack and get damaged if you arent careful. There is a common...

That's a great idea. Thanks, Alex. Less wood, lighter, easier to install, no need to fill holes on the outside of the main box, and I can buy fewer...

Warren, would white oak be any better than hard maple?

Agreed, why would anyone want to run a known virus (windows)on their Mac?

They are on Amazon. Here's a link to the picture. To see pictures here you now have to pay $6 a year. It's worth it if you get into woodworking. ...

Excited about this new forum. I have found where I live that repeat customers are huge. I am a carpenter with my own business for the last 25 years....

Very nice Wixification, what a time saver on set ups that must be. I had Wixified my General 130 a couple years ago, never thought of doing the same...

I have always used bleach water. A water solution works better than straight bleach. I sometimes use about 50% but I've read that 1 cup per gallon...

It is probably more important what you think is a good deal, you are the one paying for it. New ones like that are in the 2000 range now.

Maybe use the same wood the Pharaohs used? Cedars from Lebanon? IF there is any left?

It IS healing..slowly.. Still hurts... Was trying to use a plane, today.. Jointing a few edges to do a glue-up... Also needed to sharpen...

Thank you both.

Another idea for the gussets is to glue/screw pieces of 1-1/2" poplar along the inner corners to create a lip and then attaching the gussets to the...

Andrew, its a nice piece and I’m sure the postman will be proud to use it . But any drug seeking wanderers will be pretty annoyed when they find...

You have a good friend there, indeed!

Do you intend to actually cut directly on the surface? If not, the coating is an advantage. I never cut directly on the top of our island...I use an...

That's not so much a "stand" as an installation! Very nice. Lots of room for storage and such, I suspect. JKJ

TSP is what is often used for this purpose, but I'm not sure it can be used on bare wood or not...

Naptha and mineral spirits removes cooking grease and it won't swell MDF. Wipe them several times with a new rag each time to be sure all the grease...
