    Recommendations?

    My wife needs a shower seat to make things easier on her. There is a mill <5 miles from where I am now that specializes in cypress. Would this be a good choice for this type of wet environment? I also assume I need to use SS hardware & fasteners.... TIA

    Circular saw blade recommendations

    I have a hand-me-down 7 1/4" sawcat that is old and most likely has the original blade (looks like a 24T). The info plate on the saw has worn off and the blade has no marking on it.

    Has anybody with a R4511 Rigid table saw (the one with the granite top) "upgrade" the fence on it? I like the original fence, but made a big mistake. I refaced it with phenolic ply, and used industrial strength two sided tape to hold the ply to the fence's face applying (too much) pressure...
