Something else. This is a cube made for no particular reason - just thinking through an idea. This was a more hand tool intensive project, facilitated by the use of cypress which is very east to work.
-
More power tools than hand tools, and primarily on the table saw. I use an incra positioner and a custom ground dado blade. I like doing stuff with hand tools but I am nowhere near good enough with them.

The base is birch which I get locally, because birch. The brown wood is English brown oak which is white oak from England that has been killed by a fungus that turns it brown. It's from https://www.hearnehardwoods.com/oak-english-brown-lumber-2/ I used it for my kitchen cabinets, and that bundle in the yard was one of 5 of those I bought. Pics of that later as I am still finishing the cabinet doors. And a detail on how the leveling feet work ...

Here's a step by step of a project that I finally completed ...

This is very flattering from @swt61. I assume he is just looking for more turtle pond pictures ...

You didn't buy puts this week?

The book is truly terrible. But I think the show still stands up against anything peak TV can throw at it. In particular, shows like the sopranos, g.o.t., breaking bad etc. all seem to say that when circumstances are trying, people become selfish and cruel. MASH otoh shows people in the most desperate of circumstances doing just the opposite.

I think grizzly and shopfox are the same machines. Shopfox has a better warranty and local support and thus a higher price
-
Agree. Helical heads are nice, but not necessary. People jointed boards for a long time without them. The shopfox is 2x the hp, has more knives, and has some other features that might be worth having. Either should be great. I think the simplicity belies the amount of consideration and thought that went into it. We went through a lot of design ideas before coming to this. Minimalism is harder than maximlism.

I make no claims regarding how the IRS might feel about this plan.

Also, if your state is anything like my state, you have to pay a yearly property tax on all the equipment which cuts heavily against any savings. On the other hand, if you own an LLC, you can use it to buy an extra $10K in I Bonds which will pay you an extra risk free $962 this year to offset those taxes.

Sapele isn't particularly heavy.

You own sandpaper. Get the Lodge

As long as they were cut nails.

In reality I think I'd glue it as is. Then add a spline/dowel/screw/etc for strength if necessary.

Isn't the correct answer to use a full blind dovetail? https://www.popularwoodworking.com/editors-blog/havent-tried-full-blind-dovetails-time/
