Hello. I found this forum while searching for drill press reviews over a month ago which eventually led me to the famous Delta drill press for $150 thread. I was able to buy one for $150 and pick up the 14" bandsaw for $100 so that alone has made this site extremely valuable.
Since then I have posted many questions (most of which were novice) and have always received quick solid answers and many good points of view, I have been on many construction / DIY forums over the years and nothing compares this this forum.
My woodworking story:
My wife and I have literally been shopping for bedroom furniture for 4-years and the outcome is always the same. It is either "$3500 for a bed?!" or more frequently "I would like it if the legs were different, or the side rails were a bit thinner, etc". So I sold all my photography equipment went and bought cabinet saw, 14" band saw and a drill press and here I am. I have access to a good jointer, planer and routers so I will hold off on those purchase but now I can create EXACTLY the design that my wife and I like and I can't wait to start sawing.
I am glad to be part of such a great online community!
