    I don't think the price is out of line. Look how much Seyco wants for the Jet with a stand. If the new saw was available last summer when I bought my EX-16, I might have went for it.

    If I have to hang onto whatever I'm sanding, I'll use my Black & Decker Mouse sander. It's small and light enough for me to use one handed for a while without tiring out my hand.

    i went cheap, and bought a single speed Ryobi. I think it works pretty well. The dust collection bag is almost worthless, but I usually sand on a downdraft table anyways. It's hook and loop, and sand disks are easy to find. It's an older version of this one: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-2-6-Amp-5-in-Random-Orbital-Sander-RS290G/205105594 I think I only paid $30 bucks for it.

    I've never found the need. With your aux top, you could just clamp a straight edge to it, but getting it parallel to the blade will be kind of tricky.

    I like that puzzle. I just got that same book the other day, and am thinking of doing the beagle for my father. His favorite dog when he was a kid was Casey, a beagle. There are lots of great patterns in that book. Nice job!

    I don't know. I like the basement because the temperature is pretty consistent, even in the winter when the furnace is running. It seems like it stays pretty dry. The furnace takes care of the humidity during the winter, and I run a dehumidifier during the summer. I don't see warpage in my thin wood unless I have it in the wrong part of the basement(it's divided into two rooms). As long as it's near the dehumidifier, it's ok. I have no temperature or humidity control in the garage. Humidity is generally pretty low here in the winter, but can get quite high in the summer(although it probably isn't as high as it gets in North Carolina).

    I like this idea, too. I thought I multiQuoted this one too, but must have hit the wrong button.

    This sounds like it will work for me. Mostly around 12"x 24", and kept in the basement. I do have a 1/2 sheet of 1/4" BB plywood, but I'm going to be cutting it down for easier storage. Too much temperature variation to store in the garage. Gotta find time to do more!! 12" x 24." The problem I have is too many hobbies, and not enough room for all of them. Where I'm storing my plywood now is on a workbench that I want to start doing leather work on. I have a small basement, and storing my plywood the way I am currently is getting to be a hassle. I'm 6'2," and have low ceilings in the basement. No room for that, unless I want to knock myself out !

    How do you store your thin wood? I've been storing it flat with something heavy on top, but it's starting to take up a lot of space I need for other things.

    I'm glad I've got a basement shop, too. It was 8° F when I got up this morning.

    Looks great! Now you just have to cover everything with saw dust.

    I've got this one showing up tomorrow. Its got good reviews on Amazon, and I think Steve Good reviewed on his blog. I can't wait to try it out.

    I gotta get one of those. More saddle time for me!!

    I remember doing that the first time I drove my girlfriends car.

    I just saw on Mikes Workshop that "due to inclement weather during the relocation" they won't be re opening until the 2nd.

    Ohhhh... lots of outlets, nice!!!

    A Jet bench top oscillating spindle sander, and some shop supplies!

    Thanks! I'm going to try it out after Christmas.

    That is really neat! Dumb question: What did you use to color the resin?

    Hopefully it's just the circuit breaker. It looks like the nearest Delta service center is in Scranton. If it's not covered by the warranty, there's a good repair shop in Conklin, I think.

    That's amazing!

    Another vote for The Scroll Saw Workbook by John Nelson. It's been a big help for me.

    Snow day for wife and kid, and looks like the same for me. We got at least a foot of snow, but it is hard to tell with the drifting. I used my snow blower for the first time in two years! Weird weather... Saturday I rode my bicycle for 40 miles in a t-shirt and shorts.
  24. lost_in_endicott
    Yeah, I already spend enough nights out on the couch.

    Dunno about spoiled, but it does have its benefits! Nice day today! Might get the bike out later on.
