  1. A few years ago Half-Inch-Shy made a project with some challenging angles. Not the table top you are doing but perhaps his videos will supply some helpful techniques. http://www.halfinchshy.com/2012/04/angle-madness-product-design.html
  2. I have a 16" Laguna ( European built ) with a brake and yes I would get a brake again if I had to replace it. And with your daughter in the shop I would consider it a must have.
  3. @Shane Jimerfield At this point I want to sell it all as a single lot - If later I find I need to sell each item individually I'll keep you in mind. And my wife is furious I'm doing this but for the moment I'm hold firm.
  4. Back issues have forced me into this. It's not safe using power tools when concentration is hampered due to pain. I doubt anyone is close enough to me to be interested but thought I would post here first anyway. I'm in southwest Oregon 20 miles from Grants Pass. Want to sell it all in one lot, not interested in selling individual items. $7500.

  5. I agree with @Wdwerker. Shellac flakes are available is several shades - from very blond to ruby. I buy my flakes from http://www.shellacshack.com.
  6. Redwood is a Very soft wood so unless that finish is epoxy it will get dented with use.
  7. I'll throw in another consideration. An apple iPad Pro - I've noticed videos on YouTube about how good it is for taking class notes. Some include using Microsoft One Note for this - there is an iPad version.
  8. @Pwk5017 It is currently on sale for $400. https://www.incrementaltools.com/INCRA_TS_LS_Table_Saw_Fence_32_Range_p/ls32-ts.htm
  9. I have the Incra fence. Their rack system reliably gets me back to the same measurement. I never need to use a ruler.
  10. Has anyone here looked into this as an alternative to Facebook? It is open source and if I understand correctly there is no advertising and they state they are mostly crowd funded. https://joinmastodon.org - click on the "How it works" for a 2 minute video. Edit: After spending about 15 minutes looking at it and a number of posts it seems to me that could be as open to Fake News as Facebook is. And a grand opportunity for subversive groups. No advertising seems to be the only plus. (I should point out I have never been a Facebook user but my wife is. Maybe I'm just talking through my . . .)
  11. Better not let your wife see it or it will end up in the house not the shop.
  12. The wider kerf will impact using the track. If the rubber on your track sticks out from the metal a mm or two it may work, however, if you later go back to a Festool blade you will need a new rubber. I have read some have been able to reset the rubber but for others it would not come off in one piece.
  13. I appreciate all of your comments my question. I find this one interesting as the USB port and cable on my wife's new Canon 5DS is a split configuration - the metal is compressed together about 2/3 from one side. Don't know if this is related at all. Readers are not expensive so I'll buy a USB3 one and give it a try. I'll report back on the results.
  14. I need to get a SD card reader for my wife's computer. But they all the ones I find online are listed as USB 3 and her computer is before USB 3 so only has a USB 2. Is a reader listed as USB 3 downward compatible and will it work on her computer. Thanks
