Benjamin Achtenberg Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Hello There from SouthEast Michigan! I am relatively new to the field of fine woodworking. I have always done general construction, trim work, and have done several Anna-White-esque types of furniture. I recently picked up my first real table saw, trading in a cheap Ryobi for a R4512. I found Marc about two years ago when looking for plans to make a pizza peel for my father in law. That led to finding the WT crew and to me being here. If anyone knows a good source of hardwood in\near SE Michigan, I would love to hear about it. Same goes for any good guilds in the area! I am still working on building out some of my tools. Working on trying to find a bandsaw, jointer, and some hand planes. I have a DW734 so planer is covered for now. I have already learned a ton from watching and listening and can't wait to learn more. I think my first major project will be a Roubo..... Already have the tail vise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Achtenberg Posted July 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Yep - I have a few resources that I can drive to - Otherwise, I will order from Bell Forest, who is actually located here in MI - When I don't need it "yesterday". Thanks to both of you! Much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneymack Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Welcome to the forum, Ben ! Sounds like you are on the right track with your tool purchases. Which tablesaw did you replace the Ryobi with? Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
