howdy from N. Texas

[George Speed]

Oh Goodness.. I am close to re-equipping the garage shop lol.
Former W-netter from... 20+ years ago.
Now that I am crazy (that is not news) about Audio, I am looking forward to making "stuff" to hold Amps, TT, etc and lord help me, $$ speakers.

While I may not have much to contribute, there is always a lot to learn and heck, be jealous of
Currently only have a Jet Lathe, for making game calls. Not something I pursue anymore.
I am N of McKinney i.e. Van Alstyne

Best Regards, Y'all.

Welcome George. I’m just a bit south of you. I’m about 10 miles east of McKinney. If I can be of any help give me a shout.

[Maurice Mcmurry]

Welcome George. HiFi projects are fun. I am sure you have found your way to Parts Express. It is amazing what's available on the web for speaker building.

[George Speed]

Thank you for the replies! Yes on Parts Express, and also Madisound.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Welcome to the Creek George! Wade right in, the water's fine!

[Rick Potter]

Stay dry, Amigo. Welcome.

[George Speed]

Thank you all!
I just finished ordering a Jet TS. 3hp, 50" version. Basically just like what I had before, however the previous Saw was 1/3 the cost!! (used).
If noting else, the two young guys who bought it may have successfully started their business. They drove a long ways to get it.

I am making a list of projects.. of course that involves wood I cannot afford. Will have to deal with later lol!

Speaker build(s) wont require a Jointer or Planer. The other projects, Yes. Shame on me for selling everything I had. No doubt, that is a familiar subject!!

Not sure about my Commas. Please forgive. This should be a fun place to visit

BTW I am of the older generation, so sometimes... well, you know if you know. Semi retired. i.e. still working. Ughh.

[George Speed]

Actually I will need a Jointer. lol.
I am thinking about going Grizzly 6".
^^^^^ ^^^^

Danger, Will Robinson!

I currently have 2 Grizzly products that I find disappointing. A Mill and a Metal Lathe. Along with a previous battleship 8" looooong bed jointer, it was horrible.
OTOH the Bandsaw I had was very good. Eventually I will go with another Grizzly BS.

If you need the use of a jointer and planer before you get one I’m happy to have you come by and use mine. 16” Oliver jointer and 20” Felder planer.

[George Speed]

NICE thanks ! A Jointer is on my pickup bed now lol

[George Speed]

Good weekend.
HF Led lights installed.
Jointer is operational and making a good edge.
Table Saw is 90+% done.
What is left to do is:
Install and align fence.
Install Riving knife.
Make the electrical cord.
Then check to see if everything is in alignment.

New recliner arrived too! Perfect for relaxing with a strong Ale!

Thanks again! I may take you up on this one day.

With all this medical going on, I am going to return the un-opened DeWalt 735x and stand. It could be a long time until i could use it.
My apologies for well, you know the medical crap. I set my sights a bit high.
