too cool!!!!

sounds workable. to replicate what is is the picture, use an odd number of squares in your step 3, and an odd number of rows. (your drawing shows 6 squares x 8 rows, if you see what i am getting at. the picture looks like 7 x 7. comes out symmetrical along the edges with an odd number. if that is what you are shooting for.)

i agree with Tom, the PC is half of brand new. ii have that saw. it is not a direct drive like minorhero says. induction motor and belt drive. actually a 2 speed so metal cutting is possible by changing the belt onto the other pulleys.is it a great saw? no. is it horrible? no. i came from a 3 wheel benchtop craftsman - so the upgrade bar was set low. i cut out a 3/4" piece of plywood to put in between the saw and the base which helped stiffen it up. needed longer bolts also. $225 might be a good price depending on how old it is. a year or 2 old i would be tempted to get it. i would imagine you could get 150 - 180 for it a year or two from now, if nothing is wrong with it. probably won't last long on clist

like it! the attention to detail is great!

again, it seems like not much can be said bad about either tool. i think i will be happy with the dewalt, but the bosch would be just as good. just 2 good tools, and pick whatever small detail seems to tip the consensus in one direction or the other. thanks again for all the input!

thanks everyone! picked the dewalt. really couldn't lose either way arrives tomorrow according to amazon

seems like i can't go wrong with either one. thank you everyone for the input. i think i will flip a coin! (leaning towards the yellow fellow simply because there are more that have that, and that replied) don't think i can go wrong with either, that is what is making it a difficult decision. thanks again to all

thanks does seem to be a toss up. i probably can't go wrong with either. maybe i will base it on shipping arrival.

cool project i made a much "rougher" (read - construction lumber) one, when we had 2 greyhounds. (long legs) tall dogs can drink easier when the water is elevated. doesn't mean they can't when the bowl is on the ground, but a little easier when elevated. it does tend to "spray" the vittles and water 'cause it is up in the air!

the angle/offset bases?

really have a need for a palm router. (will be getting the plunge base kit for whatever one i pick) Colt or DW611 after looking through the past threads, have settled on one of the 2 in the title of this thread. they seem pretty comparable. not much difference in price to matter. anybody have experience with both? is it a coin flip between them? pick whatever color you like? do the LED lights in the Dewalt make a difference? not a router expert by any means, so is there anything that would make a big difference between the 2? will probably get an edge guide (in the future) for whatever i pick, i assume available for both. not agonizing over this but a little more info wouldn't hurt. don't have a strong feeling either way. thanks

i"m with Tom King on how to power the boat. if the boat is rated at 400 hp. them put that on it. i have never heard anyone say - "i wish i had less hp on my boat" if you are married to 300 hp. then think about a single 300 hp. you would save about 400 #'s and have the same hp. maintenance costs would come down with a single, which is a yearly thing. big thing to think about. spend all the $$ on safety equipment! research where you are moving to, and find a "safe boating class". US Coast Guard Auxiliary does them in my part of the world. that "MAY" give you a discount on your insurance. take it anyway. it will make you a better boater. research SEATOW or TOW BOAT US - subscribe to what is available in that area. trust me on this. as far as the tools go - i would sell them. (the big tools) your description doesn't seem to be a great thing for going forward with a full-on woodworking space. you are buying a CC, which is a "fishing" boat. jump in with both feet!!!!! LOL

ir is making my head spin looking at this pic and trying to figure out how this becomes a "bowl" !!!! LOL looking good so far

extraordinary! the wood is extra special!! the craftsmanship is at the top!! i am amazed, continually at the level of craftsmanship on this forum - it is a special place! (the "tips, tricks," that people have are worth the price of admission.) LOL the story behind the bed is worth saving - somehow?, -photo's, dialogue, you get what i am saying. the wrassler's would be thrilled with that 40 or so years from now, i am sure. very nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have that same "kit". i don't like it. long blades it is - okay,- shorter blades will test your patience such as a pocket knife - <4" blade had it for 7-8 years now, it does make blades sharp, but i don't feel it is very user friendly
