Re: Woodcraft signs on to sponsor Tommy MacDonald's WGBH woodworking show

Awesome, I can't wait for this series. Being pretty new to woodworking I'm always looking for ideas and tips to help me along...and frankly, although I like the morning fishing shows, I'd really rather be watching this. :-)

Re: BOOK GIVEAWAY: 500 Tables (Updated with winner)

Satisfied that "Greg" the man-robot had done yet another good days work, Tina flipped the switch on the back of his neck to shut him off for the night.

Re: BOOK GIVEAWAY: 500 Tables (Updated with winner)

Secretly having moved the spare television into his man-cave, Greg takes a routing time-out to admire the strength and beauty of Tad and Brittany's "pas de deux" on So You Think You Can Dance.

Re: More Details on the Carlos Osorio Tablesaw Lawsuit

LOL, only in America...well, so, does this mean I can go ahead and drive my Ford at 100mph into a tree without a seatbelt and sue Ford for my injuries? My question is, what was with the lawyers from One World? It seems odd that they wouldn't be able to defend such a case.

Re: Calling all benchtop warriors

Like many, my garage is my workshop. I got a bunch of table-top tools, drill-press, bandsaw, portable table saw, mitre-saw, jointer, planer. I have a router table, but I can easily pick it up to move it with my router in it. I built and mounted all my tools on their own tables with wheels so I can move them around as I need them. As some had mentioned, I'm new to woodworking so tool progression is typical. Currently, if there is one thing I'd like to swap out it would be my bandsaw. My current one 9', is just too small to do many things with only about 3.5 inches of clearance for wood. Plus, being a somewhat cheap model, cutting straight and preventing drift is a pain. I find myself pulling out my handsaw for work I wished my bandsaw could do.
