Good afternoon I'm in the process of making a set of curved stairs, it's a very slow long term project I've completed the structure of 1 stringer, and one handrail. The stringer is 12 layers of 1/4...

Thank you for the kind comments. The center piece is not a compass I wasn't prepared to make anything off angle on my first time around. And if it was a compass it would have been at a completely...

The floor is red oak, all from my property, the border is black walnut, from a farm 15 minutes away, and the inlay is oak walnut and mahogany.

As as for the kiln drying we air dried the wood for...

I also have it and love it. It adds another level of accuracy and safety. I often clamp jigs onto it so I can get repeatable cuts. The fence could use a little improving however it works fine you...

I made a post some time ago regarding making my own hardwood flooring, from cutting the trees through the tongue and groove process. Over the last week I have started to put them down and I'm very...

Sorry the insulators are doing spray foam today and tomorrow, so I can't take pictures. I agree it is the best product on the market for it's prescribed use as a sub floor. I guess I'm picky but...

I don't recommend it, we use it as a subfloor on a lot of houses, and it defiantly shows wear by the time it gets covered. I will try to take pictures of what it looks like after 6 months tomorrow....

Sorry to get off topic a little but why is it unsafe? I've had good luck with it but I'm not interested in continuing to do something that is dangerous and certainly wouldn't want to recommend...

If it is an option the jointer works great and does perfect tapers

thanks for for the input. Nice to hear from a couple people who have access to both tools and recommend what I was initially thinking. On a side note I see that you are from griswold I'm from Lisbon...

thanks that hat is what I was leaning towards but it is nice to hear from someone with both set ups. The slider seams like a convenient thing to have and will be used alot.

Thank you for your advice and for keeping me honest. As I stated earlier in this thread I understand there are many ways to complete this job. However as I get close to starting this project I chose...

First off what an amazing workspace! I am interested to see what you come up with as I am also planning on a crane in my shop, although my walls are concrete and I designed them with this in mind. I...

That at is a really nice setup, unfortunately that would be out of my budget, I'm looking to be in the $600-$700 range. It would work for my needs for sure though.

as far as a router with a...

Thank you for the advise, I'm not traveling with my tools I have a lot to learn before I will be doing much for other people. I'm building a staircase for my new home with curved stringers. The...

I have a staircase project coming up and it is a great excuse to add to my tool collection. I've decided that there are 2 options available that will suit my needs for the staircase and would serve...

I just did this with around 50 sheets on a flat bed trailer...

put a sheet of plywood on the top of the styrofoam, that will allow you to strap it down, other wise when you hit bumps the straps...

I can throw in a good vote for the largest grizzly dp. I have their 20 inch and it works extremely will, just this week it effortlessly drilled several 7/8 holes in 1/4 in steel plate. The only thing...

Thanks for the input I think I'm going to try raising the bandsaw and shaper to match my tablesaw height. My final goal is that I will get to a good work height with my tools aligned so that the...

I'm wondering if anyone else has raised any of their large tools on a platform to make the working height more comefortable. If so how high is your work surface and how tall are you? And how did you...

There is nothing to be worried about it is a really fun process! Just be aware how little yield you will end up with, and if you want true 8/4 talk to your sawyer about what he should mill it at, my...

My bigger is better comment was referring to the 1 hp power feeder vs the 1/4 hp feeder.

I think you are thinking a little different than I do regarding the difference between the jointer and the...
