There are motor repair shops that can rebuild motors for a decent price. When I lived in Richmond, VA I used Roy’s Electric and they were competent and prompt. There is probably a shop near you that...

I had unrelated hand surgery last year that left me with a lot less nerves available for knowing where all my fingers were. The Sawstop proved to be an ideal solution to keep what I have intact. I...

Thanks for the replies. Most of the shop safety stuff I learned along the way with self-study and observation. While working in a production cabinet shop I learned that safety is largely a personal...

Am teaching my wife the fundamentals of WW'ing and having a great time working on shop jigs, tuning up tools as warm-ups to building fine furniture. All of my stationary tools were left back east for...

The replacement shield sounds like a good thing. Thanks!

If you ever get a bonafide black walnut tree log don't worry about insects - they generally have a high resistance to them and the bugs are usually limited to the sapwood. Older trees can hollow out...

The CL saw deal I found came with a Brett Guard. I used to see them advertised in the back of FWW. Never gave one much thought until now.

I love this thing. Mounts in less than ten...

Buy the saw. The Unifence is an awesome fence and worth the asking price for the whole shebang. If the saw ever fails the fence would be a good swap onto a new Grizzly or similar. I love my used...

Here is what I found on classifieds for $300. Oh yeah, it came with a 15 inch Grizzly planer! Right now there is a 12 inch older Rockwell contractor saw with a 52 inch Biesmeyer available for $600.

I'm back into the hobby after a long twenty year hiatus, and found Scott's "ABC's of tablesaws to be right on target. Read it and digest. If your budget is ironclad then you will be limited to a...

Chain hoist from Harbor Freight. Stout tree limb. Cheap OSB from Lowe's (2 pieces). Something to roll it on (dolly or mobile base).

I have put up pressure treated posts after dunking them in a five gallon bucket of roofing tar. Let it dry then plop 'em in the hole. They last a long time thataway.

Understand about the ceiling coming down. It is hung on through bolted, paired 2x6's that are braced with a couple of triangles involved, all held up by 6x6's, so I'm not worried much about weight up...

Picked up an older Rockwell/Delta contractor's saw this week off of C.L. Wow! That thing is heavy. It had the original Biesmeyer 52 inch fence with white iron on it, a custom made (welded) mobile...

Okay, it's off the truck and in my shop. I simply bought a six pack , drank it, then I didn't feel a thing. I'm a big guy and guess there's an advantage to that.

Okay, so the chain hoist (on sale...

I've got a (new to me) Grizzly 1021 15 inch planer that I picked up on C.L. and it was loaded onto my F350 pickup by the previous owner. He had a truck with a tommy lift and we rolled it over into...

There was a free blade guard kit available from Emerson, the manufacturer of most of the saws from Sears (as pictured in previous reply). Check the serial number against the listings to see if yours...

Dripless motor oil. Comes in a small can like 3-in-1.
