1) Time. I work full time + plus some. I have 5 kids at home, have 4 large gardens, keep bees, am involved heavily in 4-H shooting sports, am too cheap to pay for automotive/home repairs and too cheap to buy something I can make. I'm also known as the 'fix it guy' in my large circle of friends (small engines, vehicles, atv's, electrical issues, etc)...there's simply not enough hours in the day to accomplish what needs to be done, let alone what I want to get done. 2) Accessibility to, well, anything. While I may not live on the edge of the earth, you can see it from my front steps. Amazon take 5 days to deliver, the closest town is 475 people, the hardware store 25 miles away caters to anything except woodworking, and the closest BORG is an hour away. Never fails, get spun up into a project and need XXX; two choices: drive 30 minutes to hope to find it or order from amazon and wait 5 days. Reasonably priced lumber also falls into this category. The local-ish lumberyard the other day (last Friday) wouldn't sell me a 1/2 sheet of 1/2" birch ply because they didn't have a sku for it...they didn't care about me, they were concerned about selling the other 1/2 sheet. Why did I only want a 1/2 sheet? See #3. 3) Space. This is my own undoing...I have a heated/cooled 20x20 well-equipped, dedicated workspace that's disorganized. Disconnect this, move that, find this...all to perform one task. 4) ...Wait...hold on...one of the kids needs help with their bike... -

How reliable is a bandsaw upgrade kit? Got a new Laguna 1412 but I was thinking of updating its guides to maximize precision. Anyone ever tried using one? -

Had a powermatic before (can't remember the model number) but it was really good. Too bad it was flooded and stopped working. Right now, I am using a Laguna 1412, which is also very good for my hobby. Still not able to maximize its usage but I am looking forward to the things that I'll be doing with it in the future. -
Never heard of Fountainhead sprayers. I use a bunch of pump sprayers. I used to use cheap ones because I had so many, but they only lasted a couple of years. Currently having great usage, longevity, and customer service from Smith sprayers. The pickup tube in one broke. I know it was several years old and probably past any warranty time, but I called the number, talked to a person, and a new replacement was here in an envelope in two days. They aren't close to being the cheapest, but you really can't expect them to be and be good to. I needed a backpack sprayer last Fall. I bought a Smith. This comes with my personal recommendation: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AT587J6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 -
