    Picked up a used Shaper - looking for advice on tooling, etc.

    New CNC build - AVID 4848Pro with GCnC Electronics

    Thread Starter: Ben Grefe

    Lighting the Small Workshop
    By Jack Lindsey

    "Ten years have passed since I wrote the Fine Woodworking article on lighting the small shop," Jack Lindsey explains, but much has changed. Jack comprehensively explores lighting a hobbyist or small industrial shop, drawing on over 25 years of professional lighting experience, covering topics such as fixture and ballast selection, lamp life, and color when employing fluorescent lamps.

    Maple 'floater' log turned into epoxy-finished bowl

    Stationary machines are still manufactured in Europe. However, they’re more expensive than machines built in Asia.

    Buying a house without a lawyer?

    This thread is 3 years old, so chances are that the deal either was done or has fallen through, I imagine.
