I recently purchased a used Grizzly G1018 jointer. Right now it's completely disassembled for cleaning and awaiting a few new parts to fine tune it. I now have decided to re-paint the stand and jointer prior to reassembly. Has anyone out there with an older Grizzly tool (approx 1995-2000)...
Made a shave horse today. I bought a draw knife, so I figured I had to have it. Can't wait to put it to work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh_h_G2tQjk&feature=g-all-c

I live in the south Asheville area and have a couple of questions about drying walnut slabs.
Just yesterday had a few slabs of walnut cut for me for a future table. 2 12 quarter, 1 8 quarter, and one 4 quarter. The slabs are around 24 inches in width x 9ft in length. Very nice wood. The two 12...
