    For hand tools I enjoy Rob Cosmans stuff, his how to videos are top notch but I avoid his reviews because no matter what he just picks lee neilson/valley or woodcraft, its like yeah of course they are the best but not everyone can afford them so what about some other options. In the world of...

    My son has been begging to play this, so I thought I would check it out, Its ok but I'm confused about something, I have played maybe 10 games, and the only time I came in under 3rd place was when I fell out of the helicopter. This is not a brag. I just don't understand how an almost 40 year...

    I agree, I enjoy using my power tools, especially for cutting, but using my planes, card scraper and Chisels is very therapeutic and enjoyable, I get such a sense of satisfaction pulling a long thin spiral from my plane.

    Also follow up on Whoos point about danger, while it is much more expensive, if you are at all worried about a table saw, look at the saw stop, but even if you do get one of those make sure you research alot about kickback. I am gonna probably get a Sawstop next not because I am that worried...

    Yeah my wife parks in the garage and all the bikes and gym equipment is also there so I don't have much room either, requirement for our next house is either a 3 car garage or space for a large shed. I believe the festool, which again is like $1800, or the Bosch which is alot less like $500...

    I don't have either but I would love a drill press, would be great for roughing out mortises, getting perfect holes with forstner bits. For cutting down long boards I don't want to put on the table saw I use my circular saw with a speed square and to cut tabletops to final length I have this...

    @Noble Savage I honestly don't think a miter saw is that necessary, it isn't that accurate unless you get a festooned for mucho $$. You can do pretty much do what a miter saw does with a table saw and either a track saw or circular saw. Jigsaw is useful i love my dewalt xr. I would also suggest...

    I have the Grripper and it is great, feels safe and helps with alot of cuts, especially small cuts. Were you ripping or cross cutting with the finishing blade? The more teeth the less it can clear sawdust so it has to work a bit harder.

    @Captain Suave Mine is the dwe7485, which is the 8.5 inch version, works for my small garage shop, but saving for a sawstop once we move and I get more garage space. I don't have any issues with the miter slots not being parallel, there was alot of wiggle in the stock miter guage, I fixed that...

    The what do you want for x-mas 2020 thread

    I feel like it is more about being anal/ patient enough to measure a million times before each cut, there are times where it takes me a half hour to make one cut. And I wish I was much better at my instruments but I'm hoping with practice I'll get there.

    I love my Freud blades, I have the full kerf flat top rip blade and it rips like butter and is great for dados and joinery. If you don't mind switching it out for good cross cut blade it is awesome, if you hate changing blades just splurge for a forest woodworker 2 I guess

    We went with the concert size, we can always go to a baritone as he gets bigger, he can also maybe graduate to my mandolin at some point since they are both based on 4 strings
