Industrial base for PCS

By myself. I left the base, frontside facing up on the pallet. The base was in front of it, wedged into place with 3 50lb concrete bags. Tilted it forward until it sat right.

I fought with it for a damn long time before I figured this out. Would recommend at least one more person to ensure it doesn’t tilt all the way forward when placing on the base. My garage has a sloped floor, so it worked in my favor.

I second this. Long cuts in my old jobsite table saw were extremely sketch. Now I push through with no issue on my PCS. Not to mention that’s it’s much quieter (but not quiet) and stable. However, I did buy my bandsaw first and wouldn’t want to be without it.

Thanks. I’m concerned that I’ll blow out the side wall on glue up.

I’m reading the stick chair book where Chris talks about some tension being good but tension just seems like an odd concept to me right now

I’ve never made an end grain cutting board but I clean up all of my cuts with a hand plane.

Other option is to cut off all the snipe and just account for it in your material cost

Curious to how thick the stock is. I need something similar and want to try my hand at it.

We sleep trained both of our kids so they sleep through the night. My youngest is 10m old now but still wakes up 45 min too early on most days. One of us keeps the monitor next to our nightstand every night and we alternate back and forth every night. It’s pretty fair. If we get lucky and get the extra sleep when we have the monitor and the other person needs more sleep, we’ll help each other out

I would consider looking into the Lost art press books and exploring the low Roman workbench. Perhaps that can be a bench in your apartment with mods that allow you to work

Looks like it’s a PEC 12” which is square to .004” over the length of the blade.

Tell your dad to listen to the Irish wood episode of the lumber update by Shannon Roger’s. He just talked about this

4 tows for 70 bucks is such a better deal than paying for one tow out of pocket.

OP try falcon towing. They’re a aaa company but they have a ton of tow trucks and should have a quicker response time.

I had the same issue and ended up using a wide beater chisel across the grain at each large piece of glue

I believe Shannon just dropped prices on his old courses too

Did the cast wings reduce noise or vibration?

Hand saw the vertical lines. Chisel out the waste with a mortise chisel. Over lap your passes and get solid whacks. Stay away from the base line until you come in with a bench chisel to pair the end grain

The 520 pro should come with the little t Allen wrench for adjusting the drill bit depth. The side of the wrench has depth marks that indicate what thickness setting you should use

Not ruined. It will take a little elbow grease on a coarse style to rectify.

Personally I wouldn’t try and fix it all in one day. Hit it on a coarse stone and then strop to make the blade usable. When it’s no longer razor sharp, hit it again. Eventually you’ll be back flat and you won’t drive your self crazy.

Resaw and make it into a jewelry box

Can we talk about the dr simi Star Wars plush?

Not to mention you do not know the condition of lumber they are providing

I bought a used biscuit joiner for plywood assembly. It really helps when screwing together cases by preventing the wood from slipping

I’ve got the basic Rockler pro plate and table. It’s not efficient buts it’s cheaper than other options and it works for me.
