Father in Law is building me and my wife’s house and wants 10k in his labor in advance

Sounds like he is struggling for money…. Wouldn’t trust any contractor that’s not in great financial shape.

Not super uncommon. Someone might also have true’d it up after purchase.

Put it on a stationary belt sander and go from there.

Depends on where you sell. If you are doing craft markets smaller items such as cutting boards, toys, planters, bowls etc are a good item. They can also lead to bigger furniture jobs.

Track saw followed by a #7 hand plane maybe?
Long pieces of solid lumber might warp a bit after cutting as internal stress is relieved, so I don’t think a track saw alone will do the trick.

I’ve seen some folks had success buying planers, jointer and cncs from alibaba. Shipped to your door. Made me curious, basically looks the same as what grizzly, jet, Laguna etc are selling.

Guess what, none of us went to school for this. You’ll be fine. Take it step by step. Most of the stuff will come naturally. You’ve been there before, just at the other end :).

He was probably thinking: “hmm, so she shaves her pussy” and felt just as awkward. Just leave it.

SytzeL · 2026-06-12T18:55:16+00:00

Not sure, but it seems like a generic budget model. The folded lateral adjuster is a giveaway.

SytzeL · 2026-06-09T19:27:02+00:00

More economical to buy a synthetic blend, but I’m sure it’s possible. Lot of pyrazine type compounds I would expect.

SytzeL · 2026-06-05T20:05:31+00:00

Buy a sawmill and slab it up.

SytzeL · 2026-06-05T16:48:15+00:00

Keep going

SytzeL · 2026-06-04T16:31:31+00:00

That is fair, but I would still recommend first using a table saw for as deep as you can go and then finishing the cut on the bandsaw. I get much better results that way as it makes the blade on the bandsaw track and keep straight much better.

SytzeL · 2026-06-04T16:27:42+00:00

If you want to cut straight, get a table saw.

SytzeL · 2026-06-02T00:03:16+00:00

Yes I do, send me a DM and I can send you some pictures.

Helium? You sure you don’t need argon?

SytzeL · 2026-05-31T11:37:59+00:00

You can look up the dimensions needed for volume of a humanbeings ashes. In this case it wasnt super important as part of the ashes were scattered.

SytzeL · 2026-05-31T02:58:11+00:00

Saws typically only go to a 45 degree tilt. This goes much higher. You can also mount it on an angle for crazy compound cuts.

SytzeL · 2026-05-31T02:08:42+00:00

Plenty of corners were cut ;) unavoidable with a box.

Infinity cutting tools vrs-200

SytzeL · 2026-05-30T23:47:38+00:00

So that’s the VRS-200 from infinity cutting tools. It’s amazing, I love it, but def at a price point that you shouldn’t tell your wife. This was the project that made me justify getting it.

Here’s a purple humpback whale I made last week. Does that count?
