I'm looking at getting a pair of bucket hooks: https://www.bxpanded.com/BX-bucket-hooks I like the fact they can be removed when not needed. I will use it mostly for lifting logs and pulling them out of the woods as well as sometimes lifting heavy items. Most of the time I'll use a chain which...
Last Post By: Ron Selzer Today, 11:57 AMI finally bit the bullet & ordered a SawStop PCS 1.75HP with the 36" T-Glide-Fence the other day from my local Woodcraft store just before the May 3rd. price increase.

Mike Henderson Today, 12:26 PMThat spider is out of this world awesome. The cutting boards are pretty sweet and that's a nice score on lumber!
John Kananis Today, 12:20 PMSince I grind all my bevels, going to the stones is really just a few strokes to improve the cutting surface. For a touch up, I only make about 3 strokes
