That’s awesome, Nate! What drag bit did you use, been so differing picking one up instead of outsourcing to a trophy shop.

Looks great Ian! Enjoy your new space.
I got a peak at the other side of your "cutting block" today and it is awesome!
Well darn. I’ll leave it as is for the official christening.

Jeff, please buy the ANVIS-6 goggles, then when you get bored of them, sell them to me so I can sit outside at night and observe all the critters making their way up the canyon.
Are those two or three tube goggles?
Two tube. GPNVG is better for you older folk that down want to keep up a good scan.

Do they provide sufficient eye protection?
What type of round?

I have them, but then I would not be able to recharge them in the garage so I might need back-ups.
Your are going to want at least ANVIS-6 goggles since they have stereo vision. External battery pack. Problem solved.

Well, it appears that I am going to have to get power upgrades to the garage after all. This single 15amp circuit to the garage powers the sump pump, all three outlets, all the lights and the garage door opener.
If I work in the dark, I might be able to run dust extraction and the saw at the same time.
NVGs. Let me know if you need some training.

Did your table get you into the guild?
No, was already there, just posted some pictures for feedback. It will just be there for a week. Last weeks picture was moose dung carved out of hickory.

Because Fitz hasn't been around lately. 😁
In other shop news, my niece's husband is not an astronaut but he does build a nice bench with Veritas vices and other fixtures. He's also given me the hand tools and such on the temp shelves below on indefinite loan. With three Lie Nielsen planes and sharpening gear available, I guess I'll try shaping wood and honing tools by hand (Tice bait).
This is bullshit. You need to slave away at more meta building for your own bench. Pfffffftttttt.
Pretty sweet, almost went with that type of bench with the same vices. I feel like I need to get at least one Lie Nielsen plane to compare to the Veritas planes I have.

Someday I'm going to invest in a proper Starrett.

Do any of the SawStoppers use the folding out feed table? Trying to decide whether to get that to save space or build a work table/out feed table with storage and sacrifice the space between the table and the router table.
The folding one seems to interfere with not the Industrial mobility and the dust port.
I have it. Like it. No issues with dust collection when it’s up. When it’s down you still can hook up, just have to lift the table a little.

Without grinding the table down, not sure how the length of the extension can be stretched to match the table.
I am talking about how the side edges are not matched if that was not clear. Like the wing is slightly shorter than the table.Ah, thought you meant the top. I would have the front flush since that is what the rail for the fence mounts to. More critical to keep that all aligned than the rear I would think.

I've never put wax on a tool. I have used WD-40 to clean them once or twice.
What do you put on your cast iron tops?

Made it up to the extension wing mounting before I decided to take a break. The only issue so far is the Festoolian location of the elevation hand wheel set screw.
I have the oil cleaned off the top so I want to treat before shutting down. I have Boeshield T9, Johnsons Paste Wax, Fluid Film and Slick Kote. What is the HC steel protectant of choice?
I like carnauba.

I’ll check them out. Also plan on doing HDF ping ponged doors and faces.

I figured that was going to be your reference. I’ll see if I can find any books on it. Probably go the domino route for joinery.

Did you get it delivered or picked up in the truck?
I am still brain storming how to get the pallet out of my fucking truck. Even slamming the air suspension to the lowest mode, it is a pretty good lift for 400ish pounds off the tailgate.
It was delivered. I had the pallet with everything on it in my garage.
Going to need to find 4-5 strong friends, rent a forklift, or rig up a block and tackle/engine lift. Or build a ramp. Still going to need friends for that.
Anyone have any good references for building cabinets? I need to build a couple face frames vanities ASAP.

Unfortunately I do not have an apprentice to help so I am going to be working with balance, brute force and luck. I am thinking 3 days minimum, not including hospital time after trying to lift the thing onto the stand.
I did it myself with the same technique in an afternoon. It isn’t that bad.
