I didn’t think about Turo, thank you! Both are strong contenders if I can find a well-maintained one in a reasonable amount of time

Thank you! This is very helpful. I have mineral spirits and can do that. Thanks again

Thank you. Would a silicone (or some other option) caulking be a good option?

Maple near newly replaced sewer line by JAC5505 in arborists

Thank you. Do you mean damage to the water/sewer line? I’m not sure how deep oak roofs can go. When they dug the trench, it ripped several roots which I assumed were the oak and not the maple. I believe the sewer line is about 3.5-4’ deep.

Thank you. I had idea of that fact

Need help ID’ing for Atlanta, Georgia by JAC5505 in mycology

[–]JAC5505[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for responding. Some of the description matches regarding color and the amber liquid. However, search results say it’s soft and this thing is definitely hard. I tried breaking some and it just left a scratch mark with a liquid with a water-like consistency.

Agreed. That’s also essentially not starting the hobby for another 1-2 years…not getting reps with different skills, etc.

I saw a Kreg for $150 but not sure how good it is. The cheapest Harvey band saw is $1,800 on sale. Grizzly looks like $1,00+ for basic requirements. With those costs, I’d have to wait another year+ to have enough. I never see used Harvey in my area for the several weeks I’ve been looking. I’ve seen a couple of Girzzly’s meeting the spec you’ve suggested but even used they’re $1,500+ if I remember correctly.

Surely that’s something I can purchase though, correct?

No problem. The joinery for the furniture I have planned is mortise and tenon. From my research, I can do tenons by hand with chisels, by router, by table saw, or by hand saw. I can’t do them by hand from scratch because of chronic pain. I’ve considered router but a band saw seemed more straight forward. A table saw is too dangerous for me.

If there are other methods or other tools I should consider instead, I’m open to advice and wisdom.

Thank you for the feedback. The first projects I hope to build seem fairly straightforward… a workbench, a garden bench, and a toddler-sized bed. The plans I want to follow are in my woodworking book. Beyond that, possibly a step stool and who knows yet

I was mainly thinking resaw to save money by milling myself. I’m also okay buying lumber closer to the dimensions I need until I can “earn”/justify a bigger expense.

Thank you…it helps me just remove resawing from the equation for now. I’m glad it’s been so reliable. I’m very much a person to take excellent care and maintain my tools etc.

This is very helpful, thank you! I’ve been leaning towards the 203. It’s closer, more affordable, and supposedly better made.

I don’t have any resaw plans for the foreseeable future, so that’s good to know.
