« Part 24: The most UNIQUE drill press table you've ever seen. Drill, Baby! DRILLLLL! Part 25 of Blue Collar Woodworking series Part 26: A useless machine with a thousand uses! »

This week we reveal the latest “invention”- A copy machine that duplicates woodworking projects! Then we talk about using a radial arm saw without losing any fingers, bees wax and hand planes, before ending with a tribute to a lost loved one.

This episode is one for the Woodworking Hall of Fame… enjoy!

Afterward, watch more episodes at Stumpynubs.com!

And one last thing… everybody is emailing about the bag over my head. Well, it’s an inside joke from over at the “Stumpy Nubs Thread” here on Lumber Jocks.

Some great stuff Stumpy! Like that duplicater! I miss my old Radial Arm saw. Sold it way back in 91 and I’m still kicking my self. I built a gazebo with that saw. It’s on LJ’s in my projects someplace. It came out perfect!
Someday I’ll give making a duplicater a try!
Happy woodworking!

STumpy, you never cease to amaze me. I love your shows and your sense of humor is outstanding.

I popped a cold one just now in honor of your grandpa. May he have an endless supply of wood and the finest tools at his side for all of eternity. He will be missed.

Stumpy,

Thoughts and prayers for you and your grandfather. I miss both of mine, and think of them often. I enjoyed your video, the copying machine looks cool. I couldn’t igore your choice in router! God Bless Harbor Freight. i have three of those HF trimmers chucked with different bits that never get removed. They are pretty awesome, as long as you know what you are getting. I also loved your ode to the Radial Arm Saw. I love mine as well. I will say however, that my delta turret model from the late 80’s is every bit the battle ship your DeWalts are. Maybe more. Still, this is a toe-mato tam-a-to argument. The fact that we are both in the pro-RAS community is enough for me!

Again, thanks for the video, I enjoyed it very much.

You’ll get no argument from me about the Deltas. I haven’t used one, but I almost bought one a moth or two ago. It was a nice saw, but I don’t have the room for it.

I also know guys who love their Craftsmans. But my favorite is the early, pre-Black and Decker Dewalt models.
