You're just not giving yourself enough credit. Trust me, for someone just learning, you're doing awesome work. It's not a hobby learned in a month.

I'll refrain from any further advice.

A table saw is the center of every good woodshop.

I could sell a ton of those, if you could modify them to hold two dildos and a wig.

Dream Academy has to fall into my top ten favorite bands list.

Won't actually be spinning it until Monday, but picked this up on Amazon. This album and Nick Hayward really influanced my direction for years to come. I still love those British groups with those smooth, crooner voices. Spandau Ballet, ABC, Style Council, etc... Something about those industrial cities that birthed such amazing talent.

Welcome to the club Antonio.

Do something different and go out and buy yourself something! Oh wait...

Don't try to dissuade him. My master plan is for him to build the mega shop, then find a way for him to want to adopt a 60 y.o. man. I haven't worked out all the bugs, but I think it still has better odds than me winning the lottery.

Jeff, I think you'd be well served to pick up a jobsite table saw. https://www.toolnut.com/sawstop-jss-120a60-jobsite-pro-table-saw-with-cart-fence.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAmfmABhCHARIsACwPRABqolUNDMc0HoBLymRZAWMU6BUumCgZwQis_RXQxp2RB5Vm-7ee55IaAqYvEALw_wcB For the type of projects you're building it's really not a tool to do without. How are you liking it Doug?

That was indeed my reaction to Super Ping Ponging!

Uhm... Wow! I thought the same at first, but think he's talking about a miter along the length of a 1/2" thick piece?

I think it's the wrong tool for the job. A tablesaw with a miter jig is preferable IMO. Just figured out that you're talking about a miter along the length or a chamfer. I would still use a tablesaw, but use a digital guage to set the blade at exactly 45 degrees.

Simple, but always delicious, potatoes, onions and sausage.

You are officially demoted to jamesmjack. P.S. It takes a lot to turn on my oscilloscope!

Because there's no electrical cord attached.

Nice try Tyler, but I know a Jewish Space Laser when I see one.

I'm so disappointed in you Naaman.

He likes to cycle differently too.

Here we go again. I like broiled hamsters on my pizza.

Is that hand grind? Doug would love that, as he doesn't like electricity.

Yes. I really like this cartridge. It's not unlike the Denon, just a bit better detail. Dynamics are better and I feel like the Soundstage is much improved. One of the other added benefits is the taller height of the cartridge body. No shim necessary. I'll keep the Zu/Denon, but honestly unless something happens to the Benz, the Denon won't see much use. This thing is built like a tank as well. The entire motor structure is just so much beefier than the Denon.

I also own and use Japanese hand saws. They have their place.

I never liked The Woodwright's Shop, because I never could imagine myself without having electricity. I'm all for some handwork. Chiseling, scraping, a little hand planing and sanding. But I'm never going to buy or use a bow saw. I have much respect for woodworkers of the past. It's amazing what they could accomplish with the tools they had. But for the same reason that I don't play my records on a wind up Victrola, I don't rely on old technology in the shop if there's a modern tool that will work as well or in many cases better.

My arm isn't active either, but I still seem to get great performance out of it. Now if we're talking personally, my arm can be very active at times.
