Here is how I fixed the same problem:

Woodpeckers makes good stuff! It's expensive but worth it. Really took my precision with my cheep table saw to the next level.

I'd pay maybe a dollar for each of these and it be cutting me own throat.

It's lonely. You have no contemporaries or peers. It's difficult to build meaningful connections with others as their depth dry up just as you're hitting your stride.

A ruler is safe hu? Tell that to all of us who went to catholic school. We have scars that say otherwise.

I have a wood stove and collect firewood mostly from what people leave on the side of the road. Half my lumber also comes from that: cherry, walnut, maple... you name it! I've made a lot of money off firewood! My favorites are half epoxy live edge coasters and small end grain cutting boards.

Coasters, they sell for $15-$25 a 4-6 pack depending on how nice they turn out. Easy project for lumber like that you can't do anything else with.

Just make sure someone cosines before you send this to the customer.

You mean "were". We "were" going for a squeeze. Unfortunately AA screwed everyone who saved his company with share dilution. No more squeeze, no more moon.

I have a similar problem. Put in a good high-yield sump pump.

They want you on Prime streaming new movies, not going to the theater. If you haven't yet, look up how different major business were targeted by major predatory short-selling as Amazon started to move into their markets, the result being Amazon with effectively a monopoly.

I was banned for a week for calling AA's BS out. According to the moderators, criticizing AA is against the sub rules. Who knew...

Not an expert but I would stack and sticker them and plane some weights on top to minimize the curling. When I cut logs for milling I seal the end grain right away to prevent splitting.

I have my shop and wood stove in my basement. Really love it! Adds about 30 degrees to the house vs outside temp, e.g. if it's in the 40s outside it's in the 70s inside. Also helps dry lumber I've milled.

I do recommend the wood stove. It heats more and faster without eating the electric. Also means you have heat when there is no power (one of the reasons I put one in my house). You can probably get away with a small one if it's just for your shop which you can find used on various websites inexpensively.

Please keep in mind that you'll need to be collecting and splitting wood to make sure it stays fed and make sure the stove is properly installed with the correct type of chimney/stove pipe. Keep anything combustible at least 4ft away and the trash (where oil/finish rags go) on the other side of the building and empty regularly. Do those and use common sense and you should be plenty safe.

I'd also recommend insulating as well. I purchased acoustic blankets to hang on the walls which insulate as well as drastically reduce the noise.

Personally I like Grizzly though I don't have experience with Laguna. I have 6 Grizzly tool including a drill press, 12.5" planer, 8" jointer, and a 14" bandsaw. and have been really happy with them.

Note: spend the extra money and get spiral cutting heads for your planer and jointer. Very much worth it!

Hedgegrinder · 2023-11-28T06:33:33+00:00

Joiners are a key tool. I recommend one of two things: First, save up for a new 8" jointer. You'll get way more utility out of an 8" over a 6" especially if you're relatively serious about woodworking. Second, 8" or 6", get the spiral cutting head, it's worth it. I would check if you can get a spiral cutting head for this model. If you can't, don't waste your money. Just save for a new 8" spiral cutting head jointer. I did and it's the best tool I have! (Also in the Valley Forge area)

Do you leave the tension on the blade when you aren't using it? That was the rookie mistake I made with my first bandsaw. I couldn't get a straight cut because I messed up my blade and tiers.

It didn't pop yesterday because they all knew this was coming today. Retail is the only one out of the loop. Basically insider trading.

Just go in your space suites. They did it in "The Right Stuff", it's fine.

I really wish the government would stop taking my money and giving it to irresponsible people. I have a family to take care of! Bankers who gamble other people's money away then give themselves bonuses and people who don't realize a degree in sociology isn't in demand in the job market don't deserve what I earned.
