  1. I get mine lljohnson’s workbench. picking up some Friday at the wood expo.
  2. Try making bandsaw boxes with spalted maple they look great. I have a friend that gives me extra wood hat to get rid of it. He’s a wood turner so I get his junk wood. On walnut slabs my friend has several as well as cherry, oak and curly maple. I get it at at below market price. When I make live edge tables I charge market price and give him the money. That way we both come out at about $1200 apiece after expenses.
  3. The furniture looks great. As much as I build I never thought about combining the two. But lately I’ve been building live edge dining tables. Great money maker for me. Below are my last two and I have another that will be done next week .
  4. I have both a planer and a drum sander that I bought from Johnson’s Workbench. I planning on going to the Wood Expo at Johnson’s in a few weeks and take advantage of the good deals.
  5. I have been woodworking for over 50yrs. Still enjoy it. I’m in the shop almost everyday. I taught woodworking 40yrs. I love not having to supervising all the students butchering wood but I had fun helping students with projects.
  6. Awesome setup!!
  7. I bought a 12" Delta Cruzer which has a clone in Ridgid. I replaced my radial arm saw that was 45 yrs old.
  8. I fixed the. Same problem about six months after buying one it was easy. I have had no problems since and that was 3 years ago.
  9. I have one on my 14” bandsaw that Ouse exclusively with an 1/8” blade. I have a second bandsaw I use for resawing.
  10. Curly maple, curly cherry, gummie cherry and poplar for puzzles.
  11. My friends say you will be very happy with your new planer. I sold my 13” Delta planer that still ran great and upgraded to a 15” jet helical planer. I give away my old tools to friends as well.
  12. On your way upgrading the shop that’s great! I started upgrading mine six years ago when I retired. Just about all my equipment has been upgraded. I gave my old equipment to aspiring new to woodworking friends.
  13. I put them on my Delta with no issues.
  14. I have the Delta pegas chucks and I had to put lock tight on the set screw to keep it from moving out from use.
  15. Nice truly a great Christmas gift. My watched a glowforge add and liked the lamp. I told her get me a glowforge and i will make her one. All was going good until I told her the price. I doubt I get one for a Christmas gift ever.
  16. Happy new year to all and a safe productive year in the shop.
  17. Glad you were able to get back to the shop. I can't imagine going that long. I went nuts and I only missed using the shop for six weeks after hand surgery.
  18. My winter shop is 68 degrees 24/7 it doesn't matter how cold it is outside. I don't plan to move, I live in northeast Indiana it's easy to go anywhere without a lot of traffic and I am too cheap to move because everything is paid for. I have a nice shop 30'x20' when the car is not in the garage and 12x20 when the car is in. Three different woodworking clubs and one has a shop for me to go to, it's more socializing than woodworking at the shop. So have fun in the sun, sometimes in the winter and it's below zero I think about a Florida vacation. Nice winter setup.
  19. My wife decided to downsize decorating for Christmas this year. Luckily she kept my Christmas lanterns.
  20. I like ll Johnson's lumber. If your buying quantity no other place beats their price. I once ordered 850bdft of quartersawn red oak and 300bdft. of poplar and had it delivered and still saved money compared to a more local supplier.
  21. Condolences to his family
  22. My condolences to Ben's family.
  23. Great score! If you need to get rid of some I am only a 90 miles south. Your score is like my friend's he got walnut logs free and paid $400 dollars to have 1500 bdft milled. He made his own kiln so he my go to for walnut, I can't beat his price.
  24. I built a stand from a Steve Carmichael design.
  25. If the picture is what you get it will be awesome!
