Hi all,
I have a stack of wood that comes from a carriage house built in our town in 1780. The wood was saved during a restoration project and kept under cover outside for at least 10-15 years. Some...
After about 10 years, zero complaints. I have the exact same setup as Josko – basement shop, 5 micron DC and letting the Jet run 1 hour after I'm done. Just remember to vacuum and/or blow out the...
Yup! My bad. I mistyped the google entry as a A3-41, not A3-31 and landed on a 16, not a 12 page. Sorry. Listed price is $4,195 for 3 knife. It is 4 hp.

When I set up my shop 9-10 years ago, I bought the Jet JJP-12 with straight blades (only way it came). It has worked well, changes over in 30 seconds and saves me a ton of shop space. I'm a hobbiest...
Very nicely done! Thanks for taking and sharing the pics with me Chris. This has helped me a lot!
Wow! Thanks for the great pics Chris! Very helpful... How do you like the Incra router table? Does it have undertable dust collection or did you build a containment box?
Hi,
Has anyone tried adding the Incra TS-LS to their SawStop with the folding outfeed table? Due to my shop size, I'm also thinking about removing the black wing table of the saw and adding the...
Agreed! I just went to the Woodworking Show in Springfield, MA. Other than watching SawStop fire off a cartridge, it was boring.
Thanks, Dan. I've contacted Craftsman's and left a couple of messages as I am seeing my 8000 stone become chipped at all 4 corners and along one of the edges after flattening and putting a secondary...
Thanks, Malcolm and Andrew. Off to the shop to flatten some stones and tune up some new chisels!
Andrew, as you mentioned you have Shapton, may I ask what grits you use and how often you have to flatten them?
Thanks, John
Thanks, Andrew! I appreciate your help.
After searching the archives, I still have a question about lapping the new "Woodorker's Set" of Shapton GlassStones I recently purchased from Craftsman Studio. The set I purchased includes 1000,...
Hey, Tom.
I agree, reading the OP post date would be helpful! I flattened the back of the iron starting with sandpaper on float glass going from 120 - 1000 then moved to the bevel, finally...
Hi, David. Like you, I am new to planes and hand tools. I found a great place to start was by taking a 6-hour sharpening class at a local woodworking school. One of the tools I brought for practice...
What a wonderful welcome to the forum. and blessed is exactly how I feel, Patrick! Thank you all so very much for your kind words. I look forward to trying to be a productive member but first will...
I have been a part-time woodworking hobbiest since 2008, mainly on my lathe but occasionally doing flat work for cutting boards, framing, making beehives, toys, etc., always using a jointer,...
Congrats on "your" decision to build, Bill. It's nice when Momma helps make a great decision with you! Having open windows and sunlight in a shop will be a true joy! I have a very nice basement shop...
I find having an older iMac with a 27" screen computer in my basement shop incredibly valuable. I order supplies right when I think about them, look up topics on the Creek, and watch HD quality...
I installed a deep laundry sink immediately outside my basement shop door. This way it is convenient for me to use, takes up no space in the shop and keeps everyone else out of my shop when they need...
+1 for the Super Nova LED lathe light John just mentioned. I saw Barry Gross use it during a demo at the New England Woodworking show this past weekend and bought it. I think Ken actually developed...
Nice thread. Here's my list...

Congrats, Cal! I have the XP and absolutely love it. The direct drive and lack of belts makes things very easy, especially since you will also have the sliding head and dial speed controls. Now you...
I was lucky and started with a Sorby set. I've since graduated to D-Way and Thompson tools. Both are outstanding! I do have a Thompson 1" roughing gauge and I love it. Much more heft than the Sorby...
