sorry I couldn't get the list to format like I wanted

I just picked up a SC table saw for cheap, the guy I bought it from had just purchased it. Apparently they've been bought by someone in Canada, IIRC.

So I'd look around a bit more to see if the new company is honoring the warranties.

It seems like a lot of planning for little actual progress. However the basic carcase was glued up after stopped rebated were planed at the rear, and the strategy for making the sliding dovetails in the curved sides from inside the front leg/frame was finalised.

You can make them either way but if you are bending, you'd cut the mortises after bending, not before.

I have a 6" Shopsmith unit and dust collection is outstanding with this style of dust hood hooked up to a regular shop vac. Maybe you could make/adapt something that looks like this.......

Hot hide glue sets up quickly so will be a bit tough with a lot of dovetails.

Liquid hide glue has a long open time and allows you to take your time with the glue up. The you have to wait a bit longer before cleaning up the joints.

The issues that i have with hide glue with the longer open time is that drips on the floor will find their way to the bottoms of your shoes and then collect all the junk on the floor. White and yellow glue dry more quickly and make lees of a mess. I am learing to be neater/cleaner with hide glue application.

By chisel design I don't mean butt, firmer or mortice rather the blade and handle design of the common bevel edge firmer. Thanks to you guys I've been picking up old chisels I find at flea markets, thrift stores and garage sales. I'm noticing quite a range of designs, the bevels, the side flats, blade thickness and handle shapes. We talk about steel, but what makes a design special?

Side plate and cone nuts,... pix please.

I suggest that you make your own out of 3/4 ply and 2 x 4's. Quick, easy, and cheap. I got my wheels from HF for the Griz 17 extreme BS. Works great. Use the savings to buy toys, er I mean tools.
