I'm an architect retired from the Federal Government. I've been a woodworker for as long as I can remember, but only got serious in the last 5 or so years. I'm a member of the Long Island Woodworkers Club, and am active in our turners, carvers and cabinetmakers groups.

Re: Benchtop Tablesaws: We Want Your Feedback

I have a Ridgid saw, the kind that goes on a cart that can fold up and takes only 16" against the wall. It is an older model, but works very well. I have a small shop, which is the reason I chose this type of saw, and specifically, because I have been happy with Ridgid products. I've since enlarged my shop, and scrapped the fold-up hand truck for a shop-built cabinet base. It works even better now because there is less vibration. I should add that I changed the blade that came with the saw for a Forrest Woodworker II.
If I can figure a way to enlarge my basement shop again, I may eventually go for a cabinet saw. Till then, I continue turning out projects with my Ridgid of which I continue to be proud.

Re: Future Period Furniture Articles

The one style I've never seen anything published on is art neuveau, which, I think, is the most beautiful style man has come up with. Its wonderfully organic and sculptural, and seems like the most sophisticated style I've seen.
