    Looks great Scott! Just like making a stretch limo...LOL.

    That's a good deal. They won't ship and the nearest store is in Des Moines IA...over 300 miles away ! I get a 10% veteran discount at Lowe's, about $60 on this item, so that's better than nothing. I've never had a planer or jointer, so maybe I'll upgrade my table saw first and keep looking for a good deal on the others. I'm thinking a good table saw is the most important power tool in a woodworking shop. And I don't have a good one. I've made do with a cheep Kobalt jobsite saw the last 2 1/2 yrs. Now I'm ready to go into more things done mainly on a table saw, although I'll still do most of my work on the King scroll saw.

    WOW! Thanks for the link. That is some kind of shop!!

    I didn't look closely. Just saw large green machines and figured they were Grizzly. I would still love to have it, or one like it...LOL.

    Now all I have to do is hit the Powerball !!! This was in my email box this morning from WOOD Magazine, along with some other articles. All I can say is WOW!!!!! It would be a decision each morning...fish or work in the shop...LOL Nestled in the forest on a shore of Lake Chelan in central Washington State, Mike Walker's 1,670-square-foot workshop is the epitome of organization. From the outset, plenty of storage space and an efficient workflow dominated the planning. "I am obsessed with organization," Mike says, "and we spent a lot of time planning spaces to accommodate all of the tools and accessories."

    I'm thinking of spending a little more and getting the DeWalt 735. It does use 2 sided blades, $32 - $37 best price on Amazon. But I've heard mention in a couple of the videos that they change them once a year or so. Sounds good to me, I thought you had to change them every couple of months! Don't know if I'll use the 2 speeds, But the 735 has a blower inside that blows out the chips. The 734 has a reversible dust hood on the back. A couple of the videos said it was prone to backing up on the short side away from the nozzle.

    I have a question. The DeWalt 735 is $136 more that the 734 (at Lowe's with my 10% veteran's discount). Other than a 2 speed gearbox what is the difference? And what would you really need 2 speeds for?
  8. OzarkSawdust
    I'm looking at the DeWalt 734 or Delta 22-555 for a planer. Any thoughts on those two? And a Delta 37-071 or Grizzly G0725 for a jointer. Any thoughts on those two? Does anyone have anything from Grizzly? Or it there another good brand with a comparable model and price to those mentioned?

    I've been painting my Poplar frames mostly. But I think I'll try the Mahogany stain on one real soon. I just need to use a smaller pattern that I don't care if it comes out and practice with the spirals. I'm sure I have #1s and may have some 0s also.
  10. OzarkSawdust
    All of them look great! I have the ornament patterns, but haven't got around to cutting them yet. December 1st...guess I had better get to cutting LOL.
  11. OzarkSawdust
    Awesome job Frank!! Nice choice of woods, and I really like the way you brought out the contrast. Poplar frame stained Mahogany...very nice, I'll have to try that combination. You did the whole thing with those evil spirals! Wow, I can never get the smooth lines with spirals...great job.
  12. OzarkSawdust
    Are you sure that's a "Florida" gator? I thought I saw him in Black Bayou just north of New Orleans...LOL Awesome job cutting that one! Where did the pattern come from? Did you make the frame? It goes great with the subject.
  13. OzarkSawdust
    I'm also thinking more and more about upgrading my table saw. I bought a nice Incra V27 miter gauge...it won't fit right in the table slot. I hate the fence! It has served it's purpose for the last 2 1/2 yrs, being able to fold up and store on side of shop...but I don't have to put the boat in the shop in the winter any more. So I'm thinking of setting up more of a "real" woodworking shop.

    I don't plan on using reclaimed wood... but you never know what lame brain idea you might get... LOL. But I do have a couple of metal detectors, A large high dollar one, and a wand type you also use in treasure hunting. Both will pick up most any metal. I have a habit of looking my wood over when I get it home and removing any staples/tags. I plan to get two separate machines and follow this type of sequence: (9) Preparing Project Lumber with a Jointer and Planer -- WOOD Magazine - YouTube It seems logical and simple to follow. I know I have several pieces of nice wood that are cupped or bowed a little and this should make things right. I've tried wetting it and spacing it with dowel rods to get air on all sides drying... didn't work well. Neither did putting weight on the top.

    Cheaper to run, quieter, less dust pipe jams, easy to change each blade surface. The only thing else you want is if it kept your beer cold and had a snack tray! OK...dumb question here. I've never owned one, used one, or watched one being used in person. So...how often do the blades get dull? On the standard long type blades, can you/do you sharpen them? Is it hard to get single blades lined up to make a perfectly level cut? If you use "new wood" vs reclaimed wood like pallet, barn, etc. how would nick a blade in either style?
  16. OzarkSawdust
    Thanks Don. I was clicking through so many on line...that I forgot to write it down when I saw that setup...LOL. Any reason for 8" over 6" with our type of work? Or do you make larger things also?
  17. OzarkSawdust
    That’s wild when a cheep tool you think might last a few months still works good several years later! I saw a jointer that had a bunch of small square knives instead of long ones. If one gets a nick in it or gets dull you just loosen the screw, turn it 90 deg. And tighten the screw.Cool setup. Sounds like even a budget planer might work well.
  18. OzarkSawdust
    Looking at both. I need to be able to make useable boards from the garbage at my local lumber yard. The big box stores are not any better, and 30+ miles away. Delta, Grizzly, WEN, Craftsman, or ?? What brands are acceptable without high price? I need several things, so need to keep cost reasonable but not cheep junk. I’ve been watching Craig’s List, Marketplace, etc. but only old, rusted worn out and cheep junk so far. What do you guys have? If you bought it today what would you get?

    Has the shop vac/cyclone bucket worked OK, other than moving a pia? I've got a WEN 3410 on order to clean the breathing aspect. I'm also looking at a HF/ Central Mach. 2 HP 1500cfm collector. Not sure of the real need for a 1. canister filter to replace bag, 2. 4" Dust Deputy setup to drop out larger stuff B4 going in the collector.
  20. OzarkSawdust
    WOW! That looks like one heck of a system Dave!
  21. OzarkSawdust
    Awesome Iggy!!! Glad you could salvage some of this year. It killed me. Nothing around here all year, and all my winter shows in the Rio Grande Valley canceled. Most for the entire season. So we won't even go south to just sit in the 5th wheel. Hidalgo county TX YESTERDAY reported 763 NEW cases. Here at home in MO Barton County has 625 confirmed cases...TOTAL for the year.

    I was checking into some type of insulation when I ran across a company from central KS. He said he was doing a big motel remodel job not too far from me. He was going to have a bunch of leftover chemicals and would make me one hell-of-a deal! But it had to be on his timetable...no problem! About two weeks later he called and said they would be over that night when they finished the job. I had most everything ready, they rolled in about 8pm, the guys moved the rest of the stuff while the first guy started spraying. About midnight they were done, had all the stuff shoved back inside and rolled out for their home in central KS! I payed them around 1/4th what others had quoted. They got some money for chemicals they would have dumped...I got an insulated shop...everyone was happy!!
  23. OzarkSawdust
    The WEN site had them for $134.50 so I just ordered one a few minutes ago. Seamed reasonable, and I need to start somewhere cleaning the air. Sounds like it'll work out right. Thanks for the info!
  24. OzarkSawdust
    With that kind of luck you should buy a bunch of Powerball tickets!!
  25. OzarkSawdust
    That's one heck of a deal! Does he get any Walnut or other goodies?
