Rich - re being "a dedicated slob," I think you and I might be related.....
Thanks Bob - you gave me some good ideas re how to assess it
Thanks Ole.
Thanks John.
Thanks John. Yes, this one will be on casters so I can jiggle it into position.
I'm trying to work with available shop space and it looks like I might end up going with 22 1/2" wide vs my current 30" wide.
But that strikes me as juuuust a little bit narrow. Does anybody...
Thanks for that link, Jonathan.
Christopher, my impulse would be to go to the Dubuque clamps. They're a known quantity and have maintained quality and manufacturing without changing anything vs a...
Drop plate. I like it. Thanks for that.
And yes, a stop block system will be added soon enough.
As for squares, yes - I get that. This version of the 5-cut method now provides accuracy I've...
I like the idea of a single runner TS sled because they can be lighter and a more manageable size.
Mine has a few tweaks -

I'm starting a new bench for the front porch. That means Toronto, Ontario, Canada cold / heat / humidity 12 months of the year.
Any thoughts / opinions / knowledge how much 10 inch-wide boards...
My new Windows 11 PC won't load the FWW archive disc I bought in 2015 - it worked fine all these years on my previous computer running Windows 10.
Does anybody know of a fix for this?

Thanks Carl. Thanks Edward. Bolting it down will be the final step of this project.
Thanks Curt. I've changed my mind and will go ahead and bolt it down.
I'm about to finish my mobile cart for my Delta 22-580 planer.
