Nice looking barn, lots of potential. I am a couple of years into a hobby woodshop in an old Yankee (English) barn here in Vermont.310294

It seems like an awful lot of work to use plywood, and the result will be , as Jesse said, quite fragile. Make the top frame and the legs out of sugar maple and mortise and tennon joints all around...

No matter what approach you use you have to insulate and tighten that building up. Get a Great stuff pro gun, not the cans with the plastic tubes -- different animal altogether -- and as much great...

Cyclone tech has been around a long time. I think the answer to your question is it is analogous to the razor blade situation. the razor handle itself is sold at low cost, and they get you on the...

You could stain the poplar. Its not the prettiest, but it is stable and works like a dream.

If you live near a major city, there are plywood manufacturing companies that routinely make 10' long plywood.

If you want something more substantial, think about a salvaged bowling alley lane....

In a word, its excellent. I have a TS/LS set up on my table saw with a bench dog iron wing on the left side I love the stability that only comes from mass. Still working out the dust collection for...

That is quite reasonable, esp if he has a hydraulic machine. you can cut a LOT more with hydraulic than manual. Work out the pricing for blades too.
A metal detector is a good idea. WM blades run...

The Grizzly is definitely a better setup. Like I said I got it cheap . very very cheap so can't grouse too much.

I own a shop fox w1688 edge sander, It was dirt cheap used, and I soon found out why. The Grizzly is quite similar likely from the same factory, and the new ones int he Grizzly site look like they...

What accommodation does the do-all have for sawdiust collection? You're going to be making a lot of the stuff.

+1 on the bandmill. Hire someone to bring it on site and they'll saw it any way you want. Those timbers are going to weigh in at 300 - 350 lbs so you're not only looking at a bandsaw but a conveyor...

+1 on drum sander love. It's not quite a must have but it is my favorite machine!

Sharpen them and put a small back bevel. Watch this for a very functional sharpening jig you can make out of scraps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIBKp9_hWLo Works like a dream.

Eurekazone extruded tracks, hands down. Have three of them and have laid them across granite countertops and the deflection is almost nonexistent. barely a sliver of light comes through. They're...

That depends on what you mean by "cost." Do you mean the simple retail price paid by the consumer plus the energy consumption over the life of the lamps, or are you talking about the entire real cost...

"I saw a video that suggested you could get it installed in a hour. "

I feel your pain. I watched the same video and bought the ts/ls system. I think that the one our time frame is to build the...

Build a sled out of plywood with a 3/8/ x 3/4 strip for the miter slot. Wax it and the saw table, then wax them both again so you're not fighting friction. You're right about making a cut, flipping...

There is life beyond craigslist. and a better place to look for used equipment is in industrial auctions Like irsauctions or exfactory auctions. you can find much better equipment at much better...

A few things. You neglect to account for changes in the price of iron and steel. The increased price and skill sets of labor The value of the dollar vs China's yuan, and the fact that if the old...

+1 on that sentiment. If you limit the "cost" calculation of a project to dollars, you have no idea how expensive it really is. White oak is far superior in every way. Buy logs and hire someone with...

I don't do this full time either. If I did, I' go for full on industrial machinery This is a hobby that keeps me in new tool and new wood money:D I think the spiral cutterhead may make a small...

I own a Grizzly 0454 and cannot in good conscience recommend it. My biggest gripe is that it bogs down when planing wide boards in wood wood harder than cherry or walnut. White oak make it really...

Thanks for the heads up! I picked up a set for leigh (D108) like them they cut through Hard maple like butter! Very sharp very smooth. So I picked up another set for the Incra. They carry them at...
