I have been involved in this hobby for a little over a year and i jumped into the deep of the pool from day one.........I have an EX21 and love it....Do not think i will ever use any other saw....just my two cents!.......I also have a small shop....everything is on casters!
Dan, I have never made any myself but have read about making some with a vinegar base.......some early dies were made from Tea and coffee. Someone here has tried it I'm sure. I will be interested to see the responses you get.......And don't forget to show us the finished wine table!
Bill, if i had to guess i would say just technical problems on their end! ... I do not visit there as often as the village, but they seem to have a lot of tech, issues.....just got my fall issue of the SSWC mag. so i doubt that it is shut down.
