Re: EKHO Mobile Workshop - Portable Cabinet Saw and Router Table

Thanks for all the positive comments on my EKHO Mobile Workshop. My web site listed above now has many personal projects posted that have been created with this great addition to my shop. It has had a very major influence on the quality and quantity of my work over the past few months!

Some clarifications to some assumptions made above:
- This is NOT a business (They usually make money!), it is a personal project that I have put out feelers to see if there is any commercial interest.
- Even though many people say they want to buy plans, I have not heard from more than one or two people by e-mail and they did not respond when I wrote them back.
- I did NOT call it portable as someone implied above, but MOBILE because it is very mobile around any normal work shop. I move it into position every day in about 1 or 2 minutes! It weighs about 1000 lbs with everything in it, so would not be suitable to move away from the shop, except with a liftgate truck which I have done.

Re: Custom Humidor

Spectacular artistry and craftsmanship. Good photographs too! I would love to learn how to do those double dovetails at the corners! Those look so exceptional! The inlays look really great too! I love it!

Re: Pro Portfolio: Doug Mooberry and Kinloch Woodworking

Spectacular work! It would be nice to know what these highly customized works of art sell for. What are wealthy customers willing to pay for such beautiful work that has become so rare today.

Congratulations on the world class and breathtaking work that I really admire.
