The 1/2" makes great stock for drawers and other square ish containers. Especially if you use the quarter, quarter, quarter method.
-
I use it when my wallet gets too fat.
-
Very nicely done.
-
Thanks for sharing your very nice collection of projects. I'm really intrigued by the tree puzzle. Is there a pattern for it?
-
You will love it. It's uses are many. A very versatile machine.
-
Just gorgeous, Barb. Your choice of stands is inspired. And, your painting is superb. Your cutting ain't too shabby neither.
-
That Shepherd is really fine work! But, for the life of me, I can't make out the owl. Great cutting, though . I guess my visual closure abilities are declining with age...along with other abilities and parts.
-
Ditto! I get nervous just looking at those fine line cuts.
-
Mighty fine kitty pics. That scaly thing ain't half bad, neither. And, the frames are excellent, as well. But, what is that black epoxy stain to which you refer?

Here is the ad. We'll, I tried to capture it.

Perusing Craigslist and found a like new Hawk for $350. It's a good five hour drive, 250 miles one way. Wondering if it's worth it. My truck gets about 10 MPG. 50 gallon of gas at $4.00 per. Probably not.

I made the stand so that it tilts 15° . The front of the table is just about 10" above the chair seat. It's nice and comfortable. Don't need to crane my neck or stoop over.
-
I bought my chair before getting the saw. so I built the saw stand to match the chair height. The stand has a front tilt at 15° and, that puts the front edge of the table 2.5" below the chair arms. So far, the chair arms don't get in my way. It's quite comfortable. I did have to velcro rhe foot control to a short piece of 2X4.

My only experience is with the Rigid and table to belt angles (including 90°) is not a problem.
-
Here's mine.
-
My Rigid is about 18 years old. I had a machinist make me some longer spindles for the thicker band saw boxes I was making. I suppose I use the belt and spindles about equally. The belt is great for "sanding to the line". If a sanding job exceeds the capability/capacity of the Rigid, my Shopsmith 6X48 belt sander comes in to play. Then, there's the 12" disc sanders...of which I'm not a fan. Too easy to sand the skin off knuckles.

Thanks, Tyler for another enjoyable and informative video.

That is a good looking sled. I'm not close to the shop. Tomorrow, I'll show you mine.
-
Your sled and it's fences can span your saw table and a 45° cut through the front and back fence will help with accuracy. A solid block, like 3" thick, should be glued to the back of the back fence, spanning the cut line, for safety. Both fences should be at least tall enough to allow for manipulating the sled and still keep the fingers safe. I use two miter slot runners and generous wax under my sled.
-
Marie, with a sled, the blade is tilted to 45° and the box sides and ends are cut flat on the sled. You wouldn't necessarily need a sled. Safer and more accurate, though.
-
A couple magnetized sewing machine LED lights really helped. And I use a head band type flip up magnifier. Both were Amazon buys.
-
Judy, a colorful Minnie would be really pretty. And, I'll bet you're better with a paint brush than I am.
-
Just a caution...walnut shavings/dust will kill plants. I plane a lot of walnut. Spreading it along the perimeter of the shop eliminates weed trimmer use.

Ray, she's in the 1600 block of Bolsa Chica.
