    Dining room carver chairs - Take 2

    Thread Starter: Derek Cohen

    About a month ago I began a thread about designing and building two carver chairs to accompany the 6 bentwood chairs we have owned for the past 40 years. The chairs were purchased all those years ago along with a table, which is around 200 years old. We need a larger table, and time has come to...

    Economics of milling vs store bought hardwoods?

    Thread Starter: Nick Crivello

In the Bay Area, depending on where you shop hardwoods like Oak and walnut can run up to $15-18bf/ft, or more for the rift/quarter sawn stuff.

    Interesting how project plans/scope can morph...

    So true … I actually model most everything in SketchUp and I rather enjoy that part of the process. However, sometimes the modeling is much easier than

    Derek, on the CSX-12 page I linked to, if you scroll down, it says the batteries are 12v and can even use the same charger as the 18v batteries but in

    Batteries for Festool drills

    post problems

    Joe, I answered you in your other thread that you posted earlier that I put a notice up for Keith or Jackie to get this fixed. Moderators cannot do that.
