To add to other's comments here, I have both the LN Boggs and Veritas spokeshave. In my experience, the LN holds the blade a little tighter to prevent slipping under really heavy and repetitive...

I have had the very similar G0815 for a couple years. Upgraded from a lunchbox for my hobby shop. I really like the fixed outfeed for this style because it allowed me to integrate it with my lumber...

Just out of school I looked into joining several these spaces which are numerous in Portland. I loved the concept of gaining access to all the tools I needed and couldn't store at home. I was also...

You are going to like these planes! I think this an approach that gets missed a bit around here. Back when I got my first LN, I too was frustrated by a handful of antiques and a few mid range...

There is nothing like a true Maloof style chair, but like others have said, they can be very time consuming- I think mine took over 100 hours not including the design time. It helps to be...

You may also consider the Grizzly G0815. I picked this up with a Byrd head a few years ago for the same price you are looking at on the stationary model. Not having the stand was also a huge...

I too can't be separated from my music in the shop, but I have always worn ear protection 100% of the time in the shop. Last Christmas my family gave me a pair of the isotunes pro bluetooth ear...

I have a dedicated grinding/welding workbench enclosed on all but one side with fire retardant material. I also drape harbor freight welding blankets behind to keep any sparks from hitting the...

Seems like a great buy! There are some people out there resawing this into guitar kits and selling for upwards of $500/ BF. Not to mention some of the guitars that tack on a couple grand to...

I have had them since Christmas and love them. Was very skeptical at first, but they provide great hearing protection. I second their ability to allow others to sneak up on you - my wife has been...

Thanks for the feedback guys, sounds like saw marks of .005" and cut variance of .015" are about normal. The whole reason a bigger bandsaw interested me is the thought of glue-ready pieces for...

So all you owners of European-made bandsaws keep temping the rest of us folks with tool addictions by toting the benefits of high end bandsaws. There are no shortage of reviews and articles out...

Perhaps Rob just ran out of new ideas. I am sure there are no shortage of those here!

1) Veritas artisan toilet paper plane: You are committed to providing quality wood products to your friends...

Some things to extract from an engineering side that are getting a little obscured. 1) steel is much stronger than iron - which means that a pound of steel can be the the same tensile strength as...

I use it for work all the time cutting steel parts. They recently cut a wood drill template for me out of plywood and it worked great and cost next to nothing. They don't always use abrasive media...

I second the F or parrakkel clamps for panels. I have tried similar devices to what the OP showed and found them more cumbersome than f clamps and a stack of dedicated cauls with integrated clamping...

Brandon, I am curious to see what you end up with here. I am getting close to pulling the trigger in a quick release tail vice for a new workbench and my small shop is pushing me down the wagon...

My dad has the Grizzly anniversary edition of this grinder and it works well for general sharpening jobs. The post/crossbar work fine but he ended up dumping the accessories because of their poor...

I haven’t delt with brass branding irons, but I know I see quite a bit of thermo - expansion on my steel branding irons as the branding surface expands faster than the backing surface and results in...

I just bought the steelex parallelogram too after being backordered on the Grizzly since February. Came in in great shape with tables +\- .003". I plan to put a Byrd head on it soon as I have not...

I have used many pairs of the ~$20 napa auto parts / harbor freight / amazon calipers and find them to be quite adequate and smooth enough for woodworking at home and machine design at work. I have...

I heard this on the radio yesterday and I agree that it is kind of a dirty way to force everyone to buy or license his technology while coming off as a humanitarian. Looks like his patents seem to...

I was recently considering this planer for hobby shop work and ended up going with the Grizzly G0815. It takes up slightly more space than the Dewalt but for a few hundred bucks you can get an...

I have had great luck with my used Delta Unisaw with a router table I attached. It seems like the flood of sawstops has really driven the delta pricing down to a reasonable number. A 3 horse motor...

Not sure what machine you are putting it on, but grizzly seems to stock a few standardized Byrd heads. I just upgraded my jointer and planer and both were delivered in two days.
