    Thread Starter: Dave Anderson NH

    With all of the negativity and political stuff going on with the Covid-19 virus it is time to look at the humorous side of things. Feel free to add more, but keep it clean or it will be deleted.

    Stock market😰

    Thread Starter: dennis thompson

    I’m hanging in there so far,but it’s surely painful. I’ve moved some money from technology to less volatile investments but there really is no place to hide, maybe cash, but you know what they say about market timing. What are you doing?

    Need for crosscut sled?

    Thread Starter: Steve Mathews

    After watching the video below I'm questioning the need for my crosscut sled. It seems that mine rarely gets used in favor of an Incra miter gauge, which I find easier to handle than the bulky and heavier crosscut sled. The only complaint with the miter gauge is it doesn't stay square or at least...

    Would You Buy This?

    Thread Starter: Jim Koepke

    There are all kinds of what seems to me insane advertisements popping up on screen while reading the news or anything else. What amazes me is not so much what is selling, but the prices. Is this some kind of scam or will somebody actually pay that much to have something like that in their...

    I purchased my Grizzly G0658 back in 2009. At the time I was a novice wood turner and I did not give any thought to whether I needed reversing capability on a lathe. I have since added a JET 1642VS-2, which has reverse, to my lathe cell. Having found that reverse is a handy feature after using the Jet for a while I decide it would be nice to have it on the Grizzly. ...

    I recently ordered a few new gouges from Thompson Tools. Doug is a great guy to deal with and I will definitely order from him again. Since I’m on a tight budget and needed handles for my new tools, I decided to build my own. At first I was going to make some nice wood handles but then I thought aluminum would look nice. ...

    About 5-6 months ago I wanted to turn a piece of Cholla, but there wasn't any solid wood to center on to. It took me about 30 minutes to come up with what I call a "Chuck Plate".

    The link below is my review of the 62" Excalibur Sliding Table I purchased in 1999. More than productivity the principal reason for purchasing a slider was safety.



    Over eighteen months ago we purchased an Excalibur sliding table as an add-on for our shop table saw ...

    Very nice. I made ours back in the pre-flat screen TV days. It is 22” deep. I envision some one either cutting it down some day or discarding it

    What 8" jointer would you get and why?

    I'd go used with either a Delta or Powermatic made in the USA (Delta made in Brazil also OK).

    I almost always go to the 1 or 2 star reviews first also. You can quickly tell if they are unpleasable or have a legitimate beef. Most are legit and often
