Topic tags/keywords: oak
Howdy Lumberjocks, I got three solid oak countertops at a habitat for humanity RE’STORE over the weekend. I used some coupons and bought all of them for $32 Plus tax. Total. I have no reason to believe there are any nails and the wood is a full 2 inches thick. Right now, I only have one blade that can work with this wood so It will be a while before I start a project. In the meantime, I get to envision. -- Learning is like a door. Open it and there are hundreds more on the other side. Thanks for all the lessons! |

The ideas are starting to come to me. I need a Freud 10 inch ripping blade and a Freud 12 inch crosscut blade befor I get started. Up to this point I have only worked with softer woods. Why does it have to be Freud? I already have a bunch of low rent tools. I promised myself I would upgrade when I started to replace. Now I get to put up or shut up. -- Learning is like a door.

Fine! If it’s a router table, I need a big router. This might do the trick. ;)

I broke down and bought some blades today. I didn’t get all Freud”ian” with it and I may kick myself later but I did get a ten inch Irwin ripper blade for the table saw. I bought a small ripping blade for my circular saw. I don’t have much confidence in it but they didn’t have anything better. I got an Italian made, thin Kerf, 12 inch, cross cut Dewalt for my big miter saw. I was thinking I might have done better with a diablo and I may yet get one. A full boar Freud would cost me double. For that price, I’d have to be a lot more than an occasional carpenter. Apparently – When it comes to putting up or shutting up – I shut up. :) -- Learning is like a door.

Hey – It just occurred to me. I did eventually by a Freud ripping blade. It has not complained once. The Irwin blade went dull within 1/2 hour. -- Learning is like a door. Open it and there are hundreds more on the other side. Thanks for all the lessons! |
