January 25, 201313 yr So I'm at the Woodsmith store last night to pickup 60 bf of Red Oak and I notice the parking lot is packed.I'm thinking I don't want to fight a crowd but go in any way. Well low and behold they are having a seminar on table saws. There are 115 people in the class room and I'm the only one in the store; had the whole place to myself. So I concluded that by not taking the time to buy, set up, take classes and build a bazillion jigs and fixtures and don't forget the time and money spent on safety equipment, dust collection and maintance of owning a table saw; I'm way ahead on time spent on projects.Therefore tablesaws slow you down. ;~)And my Central nervous handsaw stop system works just fine. MarkGood, Better, Best never let it restTill your Good is Better and your Better is Best.

January 31, 201313 yr Saw plate is from a Disston.  It had one of those "newer" Plywood type handles, kind of blocky.  I picked up a cheap little Steigo ( Made in China) saw, that had a sheet metal saw blade.   I liked the handle, and like the diiston plate.  Threw out the Steigo "blade", and threw out the Disston handle.   I then combined what was left.   I had to keep the medallions from both saws.   I called it a Hybrid Saw.Planer? I'm the 'planer', and these are what I use...
