    I just recently converted a walk in closet to hold my guitars. I live in the desert with an average humidity around 10%. Not good.

    I tried about 5 different evaporative and ultrasonic humidifiers...

    Well. Today was/is a good day for me I guess. I hear the door bell and open it up and find a package on the doorstep. UPS guys here drop and dash. lol. Low and behold, my girlfriend says, "I saw you...

    Well, it's my birthday in a couple weeks so I splurged and spent a little cash. It didn't hurt that I won $250 tonight on the Lakers winning the summer league. :)

    So i picked up the 5 piece set of...

    My bad. :(

    I was just meaning "other than my big machines". Maybe hand held machinery? :)

    Since a lathe (yet another researching project) is on my radar I think getting a proper and well recommended sharpening system is a must. Looking up the two cherries...

    Thanks Fred. The reason I posted today was to here things like your recommendation for the Tormek. I know how easy it is to waste money going down unknown paths and wish to avoid that. Not just for...

    Thanks for the quick reply. I have seen a lot of recommendations for the Lee Valley Chisels. Most my work for now with mortises will be cleaning up and squaring the edges as opposed to total hand...

    Ok, a little context up front. I just recently retired. I set up my 3 car garage and a little hobby wood shop. I have the basics in a table saw, band saw, jointer, planer, drill press, and combo...

    You must have been looking at the original post. While that plan was the first drawn up it changed some. The only reason the thread showed up on top again is that I thought I would add some pics of...

    Just thought I would come back with some pics of the "finished for now" system.

    I ended up going 6" 2729 PVC as the main line and drops to ClearVue 6x4x4 Y/Blast Gate combos.

    Here is the 6"...

    Glad to hear its worked out for you. It truly is a test of patience. :)

    Thanks for the comments. I never considered the growth ring curve thing but it makes total sense as that is the way the boards will cup over time. I just tossed them together prior to the 4th side...

    Clueless about finishing

    So I decided to turn my garage into a little woodworking hobby shop. I dove in the deep end and now have a sliding table saw, jointer, planer, band saw, sanders, and various hand tools. Took me...

    By master plate, do you mean you have some kind of flat plate that you install on the TS in place of the blade? That would be cool. I ran my indicator over the 10" width of the blade and it stayed...

    I had my crosscut fence somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 from the back. My reasoning, right or wrong, is that the dial indicator is perpendicular to the slider (90 degrees) and as I slide the table the...

    Hey Brent,

    I hope you don't think i derailed or hijacked your thread. I just happened to be adjusting my G0623X the last few days and thought I would share my experiences.

    So as I stated above...

    My only suggestion, as noted before is to remove the outrigger before attempting or you will get very frustrated. I also removed the support legs so their weight didn't play into it. After many many...

    This is how the G0623X is on one end. The two bolts adjust the height and levels on one end of the slider. The bolt to the left is the parallel adjustment. It was a real pain to get the slider hight...

    My whole slider was out of alignment day one. I ended up taking the outrigger portion off the slider and started from scratch. Removing the outrigger is a MUST when adjusting anything on the...

    As a follow up to my post above I received the Rockler All Terrain yesterday. It is FAR superior to the Shop Fox mobile stands. This is mainly do to the big urethane wheels compared to the hard...

    It's all good. Different strokes as they say. I don't find changing the paper to be cumbersome. I was very hesitant to pick up the sander but have no regrets now. It along with their dust collector...
