Keller was no saint. In fact, she was a zealous socialist activist.
And now... trout.

My wife has come home from the salon. There is about 16 inches missing from her hair (which used to be almost down to her lower back), and she left a brunette and came back a blond. Me thinks relations later will be quite interesting with this 'new woman'![]()
Hey Bladite, are you trying to cheat up your post count or do you not know what multi-quote is?![]()

I hate poetry. More of a prose guy, myself. *shrug*

I make them with beans and beer. And anything else that goes into the furnace.Need more information. How did you make the fart noises before?
Good news, everyone! Perhaps the professor has developed a short range smell-o-scope.They only take applications via smellagram.
Still interested.....On the down side.. the RTAK ended up being the one with the lighter blade![]()
Delta Rockwell Unisaw same but older. I have a 1958 9" Rockwell tablesaw that was my dad's that I pimped with a Vega fence. Not as well known as the Biesemeyer, but really good just the same. Also worth looking at are the Powermatic (especially the Powermatic) and Jet cab saws, as well as Bridgewood out of York, PA. All good saws. I've used a 12" Powermatic that was just the bomb, ripped 8/4 hard maple like it was softwood. Smoooooooth. If I was gonna buy one, I'd be looking for the Powermatic. But you'll do your own research. Laguna, General....there are a LOT of decent saws out there. If you're going to do a lot of ripping, plan on building a good extension table. Rollers and supports will work, but nothing beats an 8' outfeed table......if you have the space. For sheet goods, a decent worm drive saw and a good straight edge are a whole lot easier to manage and just as accurate, with the benefit of being portable and not taking up a shitload of space when not in use. Like I said, bandsaw. It'll rip without a lot of hassle (as long as it's not sheet goods) and resaw, too.....plus be a whole lot safer. Of course, no glue line ripping with it.....but still.....you'd have to clean up a tablesaw rip, too.searchtempest dot com - CL, ePrey, amazingzon, and more, with one click, and geography
Unisaw would be the final countdown... i would also need my trailer to not be buried under 6 feet of snow. or goodly van and timing...
so yeah, looking. looking. i see one or two, Bissy fence. 3 phase - i assume i can user a converter, or swap a motor, if the thing is clean.
also see things called "delta rockwell unisaw", might need more research.
in the short time, i saw a lot of decent jobsite saws, for cheap, even up to Bosch, and the better Rigids. need to rip stuff asap.
tax refund coming thoughplus a small bonus in a bit.

oh, i'll do my own research, but at the same time, one can only be told about things if one is having a conversation
i know a few people that love Jet, and some that hate it (not USA?) honestly haven't heard of Powermatic - i'll take a look.
in a few months, or even late Fall, if money is not an object, and/or good-used, i'll go "better/best"... just starting out, learning some chops. that said, a good cheap tool now, is a very good thing, i anticipate doing a lot of cuts outside, esp working on a shed, or a deck, or ... not making cabinets here. 1/32 is probably good enough.
was planning on making a longish rip fence for the hand saws. should work a treat on sheat.with enough clamps, even some 2xstuff
in the basement, i should have the room for a nice big table, and small outerroom to the basement that i can close a door on, and keep the dust down/etc. esp once i tune the room up. even have a window, for exhaust if i need it.
apparently they make some amazing almost glue-line ready boards. esp if you use good alignment and pushers and don't get burn?!?!?!
if you follow woodgears.ca he loves the bandsaw and drill press long time, but his table saw gets a lot of use, and that router is his baby.
Which goes to show ya, you can never have enough woodworking tools, once you get going. Even as a cheapskate casual woodworker, I have 2 tablesaws, about 4 sidewinders, a few routers of various HP and size....you get the idea. One drill press (which really needs some work; runout is atrocious) and one bandsaw. Still, Love the bandsaw. And the miter saw. Ridgid worm drive circ saw also rocks.
Don't forget the Craftsman 2x42 belt grinder/sander.....how else you gonna work on knives?
my post count is good enough, whatever![]()
Still interested.....
I've got none. But I do have some $$. going to bed, but maybe we should talk tomorrow. I'll give ya a holler.You got the heavier one?? We could trade![]()

Holy crap, you are. And he's got almost a 10-year head start. I don't think you have enough hobbies WW...
Same way I feel about women
