I just got final info yesterday on the job. Turns out, the grooves are narrow, one full kerf blade width, on an angle. A 1hp feeder @ $1k is not...

So Mike's post has me wondering.. You guys that have the baby feeders, what max size stock have you run thru your saw/shaper/etc? Thanks!

Beautiful work Bruce. I envy those who can carve like that. I'm terrible at it. I really like using the odd number of repeat in the pattern around...

Just close the magazine, flip it over, and look at that fluted bowl. That is why I get the magazine. You won't find that kind of work being...

Really appreciate all the responses! I had not considered a power feeder and can definitely understand the benefit. I did some quick shopping this...

I wonder what the cost of one of tables with electric controls would be. I bet not cheap... Not sure how much I'm willing to spend on this yet. ...

Well, I'd get banned if I wrote the words that came to mind when I saw those pics.. How many more months will it take to get a new machine?

Along the same vein, I recently posted a question of how to calculate the load a piece of wood could support. I didn't come away with a solid answer...

I actually got call from myself one day...

Beautiful work Patrick! I particularly like your leg design and the shaping of the legs.

From the video you provided, I think I hear the saw bogging down towards the end of the cut. A 3hp saw should sail thru 4/4 without skipping a beat....
