I think you need to raise the speed limit

that connelly kevlar is my double booted baby. i can still bump the hips, but old age and fear has slowed me down. i can still turn some heads on a 50' rope, but not like my college days.

i didn't show a pic of my wood storage out of shame. most of my stock is under my wife's buick on the other side of the garage. just glad her car isn't leaking fluids. i gotta find room for my new jointer though. i guess the gorilla rack shelf will have to go.

Good job coach. How do you like the Ridgid slider? And by the way could ya open ther fridge and hand me a Pepsi?

Nice Shop. Now get out there and make a mess.

Nice start on the shop. Wish I had a nice DC unit, but my shop vac (6HP) will still suck-start a city bus,
so it works for now.

Look before you buy at Lumber Liquidators. Several of us got bunks that had been stored outside for some time
and contained mold and mildew on a significant number of the boards, especially toward the middle. Check the
boards for nails, brads, and staples. It's best to use a metal detector. You don't want to turn that new
planer into a shaper by accident!

While you're there check out some of their Australian Cypress. Wild grain and harder than oak.

Great looking shop,I hope to post pics of mine in the near future.And by the way that nice looking remote under the table by the cups should be controlling some thing more in keeping with the fine looking shop.http://product.samsung.com/cgi-bin/n...LP5085WX%2fXAA

A question: (well, two really) ... What is the remote for and more importantly, how is it mounted?

And a comment: Is the small bungy around the end of the rip fence holding the table up level?

[coach]

thanks for the replies guys. i guess we all do the best we can with what we have. so the big rubber band on the rip fence is because i got tired of hitting my hip on the lock-down mechanism when not in use. i learned that trick after it caught me right on the bone one day and almost sent me to my knees. good thing i'm even tempered, or i might have said something naughty.[}]

that remote is cool. it's an RF remote that came with my dishnetwork. i just fished a wire from the coaxial output from a dish receiver in another room. so i can watch norm right in the shop.

the deal fell through on a jet jointer i was hoping to get used, so i don't have to worry about trying to make space for it now.
