Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!

I say this thread is valid, the subject matter is of concern, or should be, for every woodworker.
The information is timely and pertinent, therefore I would like to know exactly what is objectionable to some.

Re: Making a Lie-Nielsen Plane From Start to Finish

The points about scrap-parts etc. remind me: My Dad many years ago had dealings with a gent in Mt. Carmel, Illinois, which in those days had a Snap-On Tools foundry. This gent's job including taking any defective wrenches to a site where they were buried in concrete! Wouldn't a foundry just melt do...

Re: Making a Lie-Nielsen Plane From Start to Finish

Great video! But what I would like to see is the things not shown, like how they fix the dropped part, part that is out of tolerance, the oops part. I would also feel better if so many of the polishing steps were not done by humans but rather machines. Precision in handcrafted is only as good as the...

Re: Income Taxes - 2023

What I find interesting is for the last 10 or so years I have gotten barraged with TurboTax and HRBlock mail ads. Usually use this code for a $10 off tax product type of ad.
However this year nothing! Either their business is really good or really bad can't figure out which.

Re: Large sheet material

My experience of having big box cut sheets has always been a disaster, between misalignment, unknowledgable operators and terrible tear out I never have it done anymore. I often crosscut sheets using my tailgate and a circular saw in the big box parking lot. Also have a 2” 4x8 sheet of foam I put on...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!

Frankly I think the presently patented detection system should be reexamined. I think the patent was flawed. The method used is like being able to patent a door opening as method of entry detection. It is the nature of electronics that this detection method is using not an invention. In my opinion t...

Re: Why the name “Mark”?

The original name was intended to be bark as in wood bark but the guy that phoned in orders for the stencils had a lisp hence “mark” was born. 😂

Re: DeWalt Radial Arm Saw vs Shopsmith

I really do not care what others say I believe a blade you can see at all times is safer than a blade you can not always see. If you see it you can keep your hands out of it path. If you can not see it there is a chance you can put your hands in danger. Now I am sure people will disagree citing kick...
