Anyone building anything cool??
Got some new tools you cant share with anyone cause nobody in your circle of friends can appreciate a jointer from 1954?? Post em here! I wanna see! Also looking for plans for a work bench I can drop my table saws into, making them an actual TABLE, then a saw. | ||

I just got a grizzly 9” bandsaw for Christmas, pretty stoked about that. Picked up a jointer and planer last month. Waiting on a replacement blade elevator gear for a Bosch tablesaw I picked up for free last week. Seriously, the dude gave it away and the replacement part was $3.97 lol it’s about a $600 saw.
I’m in the process of doin the same thing. Table with a insert for the saw, thinkin about adding a lifting or capped miter saw station on the long side as well. 2 saw stations on one table would be pretty sweet. The jointer planer milling station was a big game changer for me. Currently doing insulation work on my shop so it’s a hellhole atm but I’ll post picks after the holidays when I finish it. There are some old pics in the diy gardening etc thread

You ever see those stations that have two in one? Like table saw ontop, undo the latch, the table flips over and boom chop saw or whatever else?? How does the bandsaw work for you?? I always wondered, ive never used one.. Like if you wanted to cut a 10mm by 10mm piece of whatever, how do you keep it from just, running wild and going all curvy?? I get that they have a fence but like.. meh. I think you get what I mean. You aint kidding about getting a jointer. Shit changes the game. No more sanding saw marks like a peasant for hours. I'll still use my flat machine but only sparingly.. (the flat machine is sand paper glued to a sheet of glass lol) I could post some pics of my stuff if anyone is interested. I'm not very accomplished just yet but the right tools makes shit a lot easier to become better. | |||

I’ve seen those flip tables but I’m not sure I’d try to make one without the proper hardware for locking it in and flipping it. It’s not locally available for me and I live out in the sticks. If I was pinched for space I might give it a try but for now I still have some space to work with. Bandsaws are a breeze really. If ya have really curved cuts just plan ahead and step cut as needed, ya can smooth out whatever ya need to with a sander later. It does have a fence but for what I do I can accomplish most rips on the table saw or with my skilsaw if need be. I definitely recommend a jointer and planer combo for anyone who is doing project that need to be square. I had some jigs to kind of rough cut them before but you’re right the sanding like a pleb was a pain in the ass lol. Before I had the combo it seemed like no matter what I did it was really hard to achieve a true 90° it wasn’t horrible but if ya make picture frames or anything like that, one side or corner always creeped up and bugged the shit out of me. Heh that went on longer than I expected, none of my friends do woodworking outside of banging nails roofing or framing so I don’t get to talk about it often lol

Nice. I've been meaning to procure a Jointer and Planer here in the short-after-now so I can resurface/refurbish palletwood and sell side-projects under the "sustainable" marketing gimmick. My coworker gave me a really old bandsaw a couple weeks ago. The motor still runs really nicely; just need to hit up the local Grainger for some new drivebelts and bandsaw blades to resurrect. | |||
