Re: UPDATED: Giveaway and Poll: The Most Requested Woodworking Gifts of 2009

Santa has come and gone, and no Rikon 10-325 Bandsaw for me. I put a way a cash gift as a savings start, though, so maybe this month? It's a shame Grizzly discontinued its sale of its 2HP 17" saw ($715 in some advertisements). Are you listening, Grizzly?

Re: UPDATED: Giveaway and Poll: The Most Requested Woodworking Gifts of 2009

I'd like to find the Rikon 10-535 14" bandsaw in my stocking, but I really haven't been that good this year. How about a weekend when I can spend two full days in the shop to assemble and finish the projects that are, for now, just a pile of rough-dimensioned parts?

Re: Working with reclaimed lumber

I had a similar experience with studs removed from my 1925 home. True 2x4s, of course, with 16+ growth rings per inch. Unfortunately, it was only a short kneewall, so I don't have too much to work with.
