    The Anarchist's Tool Chest

    Hehehe...I agree with the cost part, but he does try to convince readers to go the vintage route to help with cost. I am about half-way through the book as well and have been on the fence about buying the DVD. Any insight if you would by the DVD again now that you read the book? Matt

    Wood Species

    I have been looking around for a good book on how to identify wood species. I have found a couple books, but they seem to be more academic. I was hoping that it would discuss identifying by analyzing the grain as well as leaf patterns. Any suggestions? Matt

    Any advise in purchasing/ setting up a VFD?

    I just went through this recently with some of my older equipment. I wanted to make sure I left myself enough head room for larger HP machines. I ended up going with a 7.5HP RPD for a number of reasons. I think if you are never going to run over 2-3HP then a VFD might be fine. I just felt...

    Need some helping hands!

    Based on the feedback from this thread and what I have read on the OWWM site. It appears that a roll-back would be the best approach. Rather than go down the list of tow companies or others, anyone have a good lead on a company to use? Matt

    Good catch Tom. Shane has done some amazing work over the years. I ended up falling into this deal in search of some other items. Transaction worked out great so far...except for the shipping costs! The machine was fully crated, so I hope that will hold up any on/off loads between trucks. I...

    Planer

    All good advice on this thread. I have a DeWalt 735, the finish it produces is pretty incredible. It has a rough cut and fine cut mode. It essentially changes the cutter head speed to increase the number of cuts at the same feed rate. I also have a jointer and really cant imagine not having...
