I don't use Interior Decorators either, and Architects even less. Why is it there is this whole group of industries that have a primary function of telling people what they really want, when they haven't a clue, just ego? I guess if you have enough money you don't need common sense, you just try and buy someone else's.

How in the world did you keep the Paduk from bleeding into the Maple? Every time I do any inlay like that I have to scrape them individually them lightly bring them together. You are just sanding away! When I do that, I get red maple.... Beautiful work. I will use those tecniques on my next guitar!

This has NOTHING to do with safety and EVERYTHING to do with profits for Sawstop! Sawstop is simply selling their product to the government instead of consumers. If it is such a great saw, why don't people buy it instead? The problem lies in product cost and usefullness, NOT safty. If this is a great product, sell it to me, NOT the STUPID good for nothing polititians that sit on their brains all day and spend my money!! I have a friend that bought a Sawstop. After going off on a wet spot in the wood he couldn't afford or optain replacement parts that weekend, now it is jerryrigged to work without them. How many people are going to do that? But then you can't sue the mfg right? So their butts are covered and you have a saw that is even less safe than the ones made without sawstop. You want to save people from sawing off their hands, educate them, don't hogtie them with regulations. I'm over fity, I still have all my fingers and toes and I've been doing this all my life!

I quit wearing jewelry after seeing a guy pop his wedding ring finger off on the shop floor.... he swung down from a platform. There was a pop rivit on the rail that caught his ring and the weight of his body did the rest. I have since seen people crush their rings, catch bracelets, and one guy pull off most of his ear on a drill press. don't wear anything that might get caught up in the machinery!

Wow. what an inspiration to all.

Excellent job, I know how hard those are to turn .... I'm still trying!

Nice Concept! Beautiful work.

Wow, cool bookcase. I wonder what the cats would think of it .... a little carpet here and there and..... I think I'll do it, a bit of a challenge getting the carpet to look right, but I know they will love it! A little hide hole in the middle, scratch pad on the back. Nice wide carpeted base to keep it from tipping. Inset the carpet pieces to match the wood. Might even hang a string with a ball off the top. I guess I shouldn't have shown it to my wife ..... :)

I have both a bench top and stand alone band saw. I like the bench top for small stuff, I keep a 1/8" blade on it and a re-saw blade on the 14" w/ riser block. Both work great for what I have them set up for. I had a bench top router table, but it wasn't stable enough for me, so I built my router into my table. It works great like that, doesn't wiggle when I use it. I do have sort of a bench top jointer ... it's on my shop smith, so it's a different animal altogether. I'm looking to get a combo jointer/planer. 12" sounds much better than 4" for a jointer. :)

Wow! Beautiful Work, I bet the teacher's aid was ecstatic!
