    William Cumpiano uses a shop built wide belt sander for thicknessing guitar parts. I’ve seen it in action and it works very well. Most of the frame is made of wood.

    There are a few gas stations around me that sell “pure”, or ethanol free gas that I use on my old car. It is 91 octane but not leaded. You can find lead substitute in auto stores that gets used as...

    YouTube has some pretty good videos on how to do breadboards, although I have never seen one that deals with a top this thick. When laying out the tenons and peg holes on the ends, it’s useful...

    Unless you plan to pick up your machine, you might end up with the same shipping company anyway. Were the customer service people at Grizzly helpful when you contacted them?

    That has been my experience too. I mostly wanted to point out to the OP that cupping also occurs from non humidity related causes, and the way to treat it is different than when it’s due to moisture...

    Interesting. I always thought that the boards eventually reach an equilibrium if left in the same RH long enough. In this case my shop never goes below 40pct or above 45pct. I am still thinking it...

    I recently had some boards develop a slight cup after removing thickness primarily from one side. The boards had been sitting in my shop for 5 years so the moisture was uniform, but must have had...

    I have the a3 41a, which is just a planer, not the combo, with their spiral cutting head. For face jointing, the best results for me seem to come from using no down pressure at all. It almost seems...

    The gauge is called a magnahelic. It’s just a pressure gauge I have on the return to give me an indication of how much total airflow I have.

    The threaded rod is 3/8, and the greenish square thing...

    Have it in my shop. Also love how easy it is to set up and to make changes. Performs well too. I have sort of built up the system over a period of time as I accumulated machines, so I did not have...

    The guys who cut and sell wood for making acoustic guitars would be very interested in a log like that. Osage orange has properties that work well on acoustic guitars, but is not all that common...

    There are a couple Waterlox formulations. I mostly use the "original sealer/finish" with the red label, and have the best results letting it dry a full day between coats. In a 72 deg 45% RH room,...

    If you are a Ford family, a used Crown Victoria might be a good pick. They are plentiful and relatively inexpensive. Also safe in an accident.

    The LS-20 and 24 look similar to some models that Grizzly sells (also made in Taiwan). Not sure if that means they come from the same plant or not.

    Western red cedar has a smell that always makes me think of pencils, not the more aromatic smell I associate with other cedars used in closets etc.

    If you're used to French polishing, I wouldn't hesitate to do it on speakers. I was in the same boat recently on a cherry bookshelf I built, and didn't want to fuss with varnishes so I just French...

    That looks way nicer than the little dental kiln Ive used before to heat treat steel to make scrapers. Seems like it should work well.
