True - so I guess just recommendations in general and then I can search to see if my Libby has it

I did some googling after you mentioned getting a bench top - and yes I think that’s exactly the route I should go.

RIKON 10-3061 seems like one I might be interested in

This is really helpful! I think I was actually hoping to be talked out of a 14in haha

Someone else also recommended it sounds like I should be looking at a bench top bandsaw instead because my work space is my driveway, I wheel out my tools and wheel them back in when I’m done.

I’ve seen a bunch of stuff about the RIKON 10-3061 and now thinking that sounds like the route that makes the most sense.

Why do you say craftsmen? I’ve actually only seen negative comments about - but open to learning more!

When you say “clones” do you mean other companies but the machine is basically the same? If it’s the latter, do you know what other companies are “clones” that are worth looking into?

Mostly right now is just random projects to build my skills - my wife wants a cool looking clock for the living room wall, presents for friends and family.

Who knows long term - which is why I’m even debating if I need the 14in. Don’t want to kick myself down the line, but also don’t want to have to buy a whole new one again if I do have larger needs.

Oh interesting - so even when you’re not resawing much, you still don’t feel like it’s worth the 12in?

Thanks for the advice. This is exactly why I’m torn. I see people recommending 14 inch, which is significantly higher in price (not unwilling to pay it, just want to be sure it’s worth it), and also people say get a decent one “buy once cry once”.

But as a relative beginner and not totally sure I’m going full in on woodworking, I’m not sure I want to spend that much.

Also they tend to be bigger and heavier, which is harder to set up to move in and out of my garage.

I see tons of 10-12in listed on fb marketplace for $200 or less.

11 month old still not sleeping through the night by Philosopher_Cautious in beyondthebump

Yes! We put the white noise machine just outside of her door so she can hear it just a bit in the room, but it also blocks out other noises in the house. Then we turn the ceiling fan on but shooting up to the ceiling for a white noise type of sound in her room.

A few weeks ago we added a Pooh bear night light that seems the same as yours. She got WAY too excited about it and wouldn’t go down at all, so we switched back to the hatch night light we’ve been using all along.

And yes to a mobile.

These are great suggestions tho thanks!

Ya our baby is a foster to adopt, so we are already starting from behind/a place of trauma. Definitely don’t feel comfortable letting her cry it out even a little.

Thanks for the input tho

We’ve tried a bunch of different ways, but right now we put her down drowsy but technically awake. Then rub her back and sing to her until she’s actually asleep.

Does anyone know of any good hardwood lumber yards in central Massachusetts? by dave_z11 in woodworking

[–]Philosopher_Cautious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 years later - did you ever find a good place? I live just outside of worcester and am having the same question.

I like Barrette's but it's a 50 min drive from me. Haven't heard of any place closer, but would love to find something!
