    Yes, you need to be a contributor ($6 per year min, bargain of the century!) to see photos.

    For the router bit you could look at whiteside 2305 or 2306 for an example. Yes, you run the laminate...

    My favorite edge treatment is to apply desired wood edging (3/4 thick is good) to the substrate and get it flush with the substrate top by whatever method you like. Then apply the laminate over the...

    I'd be tempted to epoxy a few nuts to the sides of the opening with the hole facing up. Then you could thread in some flat head screws and have the ability to level the insert by adjusting the...

    The woodcraft on the southeast side of Cleveland seems to be bucking the trend; they have expanded a little, added a lot more hardwood, and expanded their tool and supply selection. They have a nice...

    I don't see any issue being near the electrical panel unless you work with flammable solvents or finishes.

    Ventilation is a good idea, especially if the cushions ever get put away while wet. The trick will be adding vents where they won't admit rain. On the bottom and near the top where they are...

    Is the battery the same type and size as the original?

    I had that model jointer for years (although it had a little less rust ;) ). It should serve you well once cleaned up. I had to shim the ways on the outfeed side a bit, but once it was tuned, it...

    I use their 1/2" 3tpi blade as my general purpose blade. If you mostly make straight cuts I suggest the 1/2", but 3/8 is a reasonable compromise for straight and curved work. I'm happy with the...
