Those coffee cans come it handy. I actually don’t drink coffee, but my parents and grandfather save them for me.

Nice shop JP. It looks like you have the basics covered, except for a jointer. How do you like the radial arm saw?

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

Thanks, Bill. A jointer may end up being a Christmas present from me to me. The radial arm saw has turned out to be more of a novelty than anything. I bought it at a yard sale last year for $40, took it all apart, cleaned it up, and put it back together. I’ve used it for a few wide crosscuts and dadoes, but for the most part it just collects dust from all of the other machines.

Nice looking shop JP. How do you like the Jet saw?

-- Greg Mitchell--Lowell, AR--gdamitchell@sbcglobal.net

Thanks, Greg. The only complaint I have about the Jet is the fence that came with it. If I ever get a chance to upgrade the fence, I will. It just doesn’t feel solid to me, and I’ve never really trusted it’s accuracy. Other than that, it’s a great saw. It runs smooth, and it’s got plenty of power for what I do.

I used to have the Jet contractor saw with a fence like that or similar to it. I initially felt the same way as you but I learned to trust it. It never shifted on me and it was very accurate.
