Reggiek, I would rather have an 8” jointer too. I just wanted to keep all the items on my list under $300. If they buy me 6” jointer I’d happily take it. Scrabby, I’ve always wanted a biscuit cutter but then I saw Marc Spag's podcast about the Festool Domino so now I’m undecided. Truth be told I’m not very good with a biscuit cutters we have here at the shop. When I made the GFC I had recut a lot of the slots because the joints weren’t flush. I’m sure I’d get better with practice but I was hoping the Domino would just be easier to register. -- Professional kitchen designer, amature woodworker. |

I just put my PC biscuit for sale to a few friends….didn’t want a bunch of yo yo’s from craigslist like I had last time…..I just find that I don’t use it very much….I am really glad I passed on the domino earlier….lots of money…but not alot of good machine….I think you are better off making your own tenons and mortises….or using splines….the only time I use the PC is for lining up sheets….but it is a pain to set up…change knives if I need too…so on and so on…....just an opinion I have formed on these tools that they take more time to use then if you just did the stuff yourself… -- Woodworking.....My small slice of heaven! |

Matt, I thought you guys in Napa Vally had nothing but time. That’s what it shows in all the ads. Jim, I thought people in Oregon didn’t care about money. You mean you guys don’t live in communes and smoke dope anymore? Reg, you might be right about that. There are lots of other ways to make joints. -- Professional kitchen designer, amature woodworker. |

I have several of your choices on my list as well… read all reviews on that Delta jointer.. I was looking into one of those but was not impressed with the feedback… good luck with your list -- It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt. |

“Great list Chunk. I added your Incra Miter Gauge and the JessEm Master-R-Lift to my list. Thanks for the ideas, Bothus” Glad you like. Feel free to fill any one or all of those! Oh yeah my B-Day is x-mas too so you can get both occasions at the same time. ;) -- Chunk |

A dedicated shop. My garage shop has been overrun with my wife’s household stuff. -- We must guard our enthusiasm as we would our life - James Krenov |

I know what you mean Wayne, But don’t kid yourself. I used to have dedicated workshop that was almost the size of a 3 car garage. I used it for years then one day the little woman suggested we store a couple of things in it. I should have said no but… the next thing I knew it wasn’t a shop anymore it was a storage shed.

The top of my wish list is a new house where I can build a shop in the back yard. I can’t do that at my current home because of stupid HOA rules. Once I have that shop, I can buy the Delta Unisaw that keeps floating around in my dreams.. |

That would be nice Rick. When I had my dedicated shop I wasn’t serious about woodworking. The only woodworking tool I had was a Radial Arm Saw. Then I inherited an old Craftsman table saw. But I still wasn’t really into woodworking. I remember my buddy down the street was so excited because someone gave him a planer, I thought why would anyone plane their own wood when you can buy it that way? I just used the tools for small projects. The biggest project I ever did in that shop was rebuild the engine in my truck. Now I would love to have that shop again. Who knew?

I really don’t have the room, but a planer would be very good. -- You can't trust dogs to guard your food. |

As a “new” woodworker, my list contains a LOT of what would be considered as fundamental/basic tools (measuring, tool set-up, fences, zero clearance inserts, many hand tools, etc.). I figure I should learn with those before going big and then having to figure out the “where do i keep this thing” problem. -- Life is a one lap race. |
