Hey Alex, did my boat beat yours........?

yup, i think a little over a year ago?....when you mentioned it on the creek...stu-the star

The Pinnacle tools look nice, the only thing I don't like is the "Made in China" stamp on the steel........Oh well

What blade did you get?

BTW, did I ever give you the info for the blade sharpening service I found?

They do a good job and are reasonable, the sharpening price includes the shipping back to you.

I have a coulpe more lathe tools coming, as well as a 24" straight edge (about time I got one )

Cheers!

PS........ what.......... no pictures

Yeah, I got the contact info you sent for blade sharpening. That reminds me, you asked for the number of the mill I bought from last time in ShinKiba. I will look it up and send it to you.

Blade is Freud 50T combination.

Straight edge is very handy to have. I have the 24" from Lee Valley.

Will try and post post-gloat pics.

Looks great, now you've got to get Tshirts made.

By the way, I took a peek at the shelf link and your comment that you wished you had a bigger SCMS.

I had a similar problem and remembered that I could pick up a bit more cutting capacity by RAISING the board I was trying to cut (by putting scrap wood under it on the SCMS bed -- the higher plane puts more of the saw in line with the board you are trying to cut. or maybe my geometery isn't quick right but you are making a longer chord by moving the board closer to the center of the saw -- thus more cutting capability.
