Erik,
I have a 2002/3 ish Laguna 18" Italian saw here in Katy. Only have about 10" resaw capacity under the guides. Would this vintage have been from the Centauro lineup? I mainly run a 1" Resaw...

Derek,
Just saw this. I'm wondering if the graphic is missing a detail or if it's my brain. Is the knob intended to screw into a threaded insert that is located in the tall fence? There is mention...
Hi all,
I am reaching out for an assist if possible. My 2002 Laguna 18 (Italian) does not have the resaw capacity that I need for a few cuts on some spalted maple. If pressed, I can split them and...
Thank you all! Just the types of feedback I had hoped for. It seems the consensus is that the European rasps can do everything well if you have the right collection of tooth grains whereas the...
All,
Lee Valley has taken me down a short rabbit hole by highlighting their Japanese saw rasp which has a coarse and fine side. I don't see these being mentioned in past threads when discussing...
I’m breaking down and planning to up my portable (kinda) dust collector to a modified unit with canister filter, Thien baffle on a trash can and, if possible upgraded impeller.
I’ll be putting an...
All great points. Runs perfectly. Spindle runout is really good...virtually none. The two new machines were sitting there loud and proud. I think he has a very different view of spending money than...
Yesterday, I happened onto Craigslist for something else and took a quick look at my saved search for drill presses. Low and behold, a new (assembled with a not-yet registered warranty) Powermatic...
All,
I am in the finishing stages of a Roubo bench...Hallelujah!!
I ended up using SYP for my wood because, well, budget. Though I have some good hard boards on my slabs, I've started to explore...
I happened to have just visited their shop in Superior Weds afternoon. Had a chance to meet with Cass and Katie. Both were terrific and seem really passionate about their work. I just love to see...
My A3-31 arrived (January 2021) with the infeed table high at the infeed end creating a valley at the cutterhead. Not good. Felder was good and I had a gent (very patient) on the phone with me for...
I attended John's weekend class back in about 1996. Learned so much and found a new type of craftsmanship that was very different than building furniture. He was a sweet, gentle guy who loved what he...
Christopher, this is helpful.
I have seen posts going for and against stropping after this level of honing. Your point is the primary reason for that part of my question. I expect that one's...
Steven, couldn't agree more.
I respect that some of our community have, over time, developed a true, specialized expertise which I totally respect. For some others, it does seem like the...
Very helpful Rob. First-hand stories are really helpful.
I am done with the mess of my (Norton) waterstones. I think I end up with pretty good results off of the 8000 stone but know that it can be much better. I recently had to restore my 1" chisel back to...
Thanks Both!

So, the vacuum filter bags. Do you treat them as disposable (pretty pricey over time) or do you suck a lot of dust and try to empty them? My wallet and...

I was shopping for a Fernco fitting that would meet this need but came to understand that additional fittings would be required to...
This is an area (precast concrete) where I have some insight. Do a search for " precast prestressed concrete suppliers Modesto CA"
You'll see some listings show up that list players in the area. ...
Who knows what will get scheduled, but if there is any way you can travel to southern Michigan, you would find his class(es) very helpful and learn to immediately climb the learning curve.
Back in the 90's I took the weekend box making class up in Michigan from John Wilson. It was a great chance to learn. I was able to build my skills pretty well and have many stacks of boxes that...
All,
A little help please! I am awash is drill bits. Twist bits, brad points, spade, auger, masonry, you get the point. Some are utility, some are for fine work. You name it, I probably have it....
Mike, I see you are an early 2000s LT18 Owner. I have sent you a PM. When you have a moment, please give it a look.
While 1-1/2" EMT might be a little lightweight for this, 1-1/2" rigid conduit would be more than stiff enough. Much, much heavier than EMT.
