Tom Cancelleri Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 And that's why it's last on the list...just like spinach. Just finished the drum sander, planer is next easy peasy. So you think. That Dewalt 735 stand is a PITA to put together. Lots of bolts. Took about 2.5 hours to get everything unpacked and put together. Plan on a full 8-10 hours getting your saw completely assembled and tuned if you're doing it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I always eat the spinach first so I can move on with my life without that sheep food hanging over my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDave Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 So do I but in this case the tablesaw is the biggest machine so it's more a matter of working room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroDave Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Crap I just heard from Woodcraft that the jointer was damaged on arrival so they refused delivery...which is a good thing. Hope I get it before Xmas at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I get it before Xmas at this point. If you need stuff jointed I'd say go to woodcraft and have them let you use their jointer there. At this point, you should be getting the family discount from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDave Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I thought about that and may end up going that route. I should be OK with s4s and my tablesaw and drum sander if I don't get the jointer in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Great tip! I would never have thought to look at a resturant supply place. Horse stall mats work just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDave Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I will check that out... there are a few tack shops not too far way. Just finished getting the Laguna 14-12 Bandsaw stood up. Up next the dust collector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroDave Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 OK so I completed the bandsaw... Then proceeded on to the Laguna Dust Collector... This by far was the biggest pain in the butt to setup. Instructions were horrible with mislabeled parts...diagrams that didn't match or were poorly illustrated. Hose connections that were difficult to say the least. It looked like a drunk cut the flexible hoses as they were so haphazardly done. I plan to purchase some better hosing to replace it but managed to set it up to test. Put the infeed/outfeed tables on my drum sander...which were not included in the original purchase but according to most were mandatory for good operation. Also received my Carter Stabilizer for the bandsaw so that I can do easier scroll work...can you say reindeer Next up the tablesaw... But that will be tomorrow as I want to be alert and on my game when I put it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Mark Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Dave, I'm a new woodworker too and don't have a jointer, but you still can flatten rough sawn boards without a jointer. Go to this website: www.jpthein.com and look at his planer sled. He just uses a 1/2" piece of plywood, masking tape and a glue gun. I have used this technique with great results. While your waiting for your Powermatic Jointer to arrive in one piece to Woodcraft, this will get you started. I use my router table and a straight bit to joint once edge of my boards.
