              Nice...........

                  I did get the 50" fence version, as the assembly progresses, I'll post more images. I honestly don't have room for the whole 50" in the shop such that they'll all be useful, but the price was right and I figured I'd like it for the next shop.

                  The first project will be a wine cabinet commission piece for a friend. The plan is to include some marquetry in the project.

                  My neighbor is starting to think that I buy my tools to match the Steelers colors.

                    Congratulations on the new toy. If you don't like it, I'll trade a BT3K for it if you take care of the shipping.

                      Keith,

                      Congrats on the new toy! She is a beauty! Once fully assembled, it would be nice if you can share some pics.

                      Thanks!
                      Chris

                              Well all right. Color me Kermit Green. That's what I want, someday, when I get a larger shop.

                              (Speaking of which: Keith, I thought you had a really small shop yourself ...?)
