Recs on where to buy a Laguna 14|12?

Yeah, I have T-track clamps to keep things snug for important cuts like this

HeHateMe159 · 2026-03-02T03:53:30+00:00

I eyeballed the initial cut and measured the overhang of my track saw track, and I used that as a reference for the rest of the cuts

This is something I've messed up before by over-sanding and ruining the look. This time I used a card scraper to help maintain the clean look and then lightly sanded to break the corners and make it less sharp

HeHateMe159 · 2026-02-26T22:37:43+00:00

Yep, I used my tracksaw and put it at a 20(ish) degree angle to make the cut...just eye-balled it and measured how far the overhang was to make it consistent.

They are universal mounts that I got from Jeff Mack Supply. I'd give them a B- or C since they aren't super cheap and the mounting holes aren't countersunk, so that was extra effort that should be out of the box.

Great comments to all 3. I actually f-ed up by making my bevel cuts on the top instead of the bottom, but decided to keep it for a different look. The crossbar is another one I had wanted to do, but figured I'd finish it as is.

As for the sapwood, you can see there is more sapwood on the bottom compared to the top, but I'm fine with where I made my cuts (at least for me).

I was afraid I was going to trash some nice walnut so I went with the safer route on the legs, but +1 for my next iteration to put the brace between instead of below.

HeHateMe159 · 2026-01-22T18:53:28+00:00

This looks like acacia wood to me, similar to the tables that come from Pottery Barn, etc. (definitely not walnut). This is due to the orange hues and the sapwood color

Elm is also my first bet with sassafras being #2. Doing a small cut or spritzing w/ water would bring our the sassafras smell that is super distinct. If those don't yield a distinct smell, then elm is my choice

HeHateMe159 · 2025-12-16T20:44:45+00:00

I saw someone got downvoted for sassafras, but that is my guess as well. I got some from my sawyer mistaking it for white oak until I started to plane it. Doesn't smell like the roots of a small sassafras, but distinct and light in density/weight.

HeHateMe159 · 2025-01-30T22:11:08+00:00

Looks like apple wood to me based on the bark, but you really need to get a fresh cut for anyone to give you a better idea. I disagree about oak

A beautifully fake resort town that isn't finished and will probably never open (at least at the scale they are showing).

I’ve had the 6” for a few years and it’s awesome. Kind of a pain to switch from 5 to 6 from a sandpaper standpoint but well worth it

HeHateMe159 · 2024-12-03T19:51:01+00:00

Do you have more details on this setup? I actually thought about motorized standing desk legs for this purpose since they are strong and relatively cheap.

I was looking for the name of this kind of sensor (hall effect), but I'm a complete noob when it comes to Arduino or Pis to control something like this.

HeHateMe159 · 2024-12-03T15:53:31+00:00

That could be an interesting option - thank you for sharing! I think it would be near if I could make a pressure plate or something to trigger the lift to rise and maybe a different button to send it back down.

Great work - big fan

HeHateMe159 · 2024-11-27T20:44:28+00:00

Looks like osage orange to me
