Re: Is the Radial Arm Saw on its Last Legs?

Among the many comments, FTS makes the point relevant to many amateur/hobbyist woodworkers: The RAS takes up a lot of wall space and cannot be moved out of the way. In a production shop cutting rough stock to length, of course use the RAS. In a smaller shop, there is just not enough space or need, the RAS hardly makes sense, and that would seem to have established its lowly status in the marketplace.

Re: Poll: What accessories, jigs, and shop gear are on your holiday wish list?

If posting this note brought a Leigh dovetail jig to my shop, I would be a happy woodworker. In the meantime, I am hoping for a new Forrest blade and some shaper cutters under the tree so that my cyclone will have more opportunities to perform its intended function.

Re: A Dedicated Sharpening Bench- Part 2: A Workbench Surface

I agree with dwmmd213. Aside from the fact that I love to use power tools, time is way too precious to build everything using hand tools. This would seem to me to be precisely the place where producing the bench more quickly with power tools would allow the woodworker to sharpen his planes and chisels and get on with building a project where the application of hand-tools skills really makes some sense.
