Hiya Lou,
Well I'm sorry to say that it sounds like you've been putting your's to a
lot more work than I have mine! I've gotten tangled up in doing saltillo
floors in the house and haven't had so much as a minute to do anything in
the woodworking realm. .

I do plan to get some bookshelves built, a dresser, a couple of tables and
some chairs but until I get the tile down, the beast sits idle.

As for the wing, yup, they sent a new one immediately and didn't want the
old one. I think I'll use the old one in some fashion as a sharpening
station or something.

Glad to see you're getting your $$'s worth and it's working well. Can't
wait to put mine through the paces. I hope to be done with all the
saltillo stuff in a couple of weeks and then it's off to the lumber yard!
Cheers,
cc

Hi cc,

1023SL greetings to you buddy - I'm having a great
time with my 500 lb baby - how about you? It just
purrs along with nary a quiver - have been making
jigs for it - panel cutter & crosscut sled so far, with
more to come.

Been working on adding a router table to the right
side - so far I drilled a couple of holes in the
fence and right wing (no political intent here!).
Trying to decide if I should just make my own insert
or cough up 50 bucks and get the 1/4 aluminum plate
from Rockler - still cogitating (sp?).

How'd that rusty wing work out for ya? Knowing
Grizzly, they made it right.

To all,

As far as working slow, I sort of got a reprieve today.
About 2+ hours and I finished
my other cabinet - shelved and even stuck some
oak strips on the edging! Almost in "production" mode
now.

Seriously, a lot of time *IS* spent on setting stuff up,
changing bits & blades and just standing ther wondering
if there is anything that you didn't think of - before
you run that first dado.

My comment about Norm was in jest of course. Since
I have been watching/taping him since season "1", I realize that
he takes at least *twice* as long to make something
as what we see on TV. g.

Thanks all for your expertise & encouragement.

This is a great place (despite occassional "problems").

Layed back & enjoying the fresh-cut oak wafting about.....

Lou

Ahh Lou,
If Norm was that fast, we'd have a new project aired every day vs. the 15
or
so per year. Don't get me wrong,
I can't possibly build 15 projects a year but of course it's a hobby for
me
and this thing called work takes up most of my time...sigh.

Don't get discouraged! Hows that 1023SL working out for you anyway?
Cheers,
