Serge, thanks for the photos. While looking at the new 690 base- lock, in your photos, I don't think that Porter Cable solved the following problem. If you leave the latch unlocked could the motor body be turned out? My design does not allow the motor to come off unless you press a spring loaded latch. See in the above photos of my, the spring loaded

Hi Serge. I saw a photo of the new lock on the Porter Cable 690 base in their website. I have yet to see it closer in a store. I asked my question b/c about 10 years ago I designed a safety lock on the old PC 690 base to not allow the motor body to come loose, exit the base and hover in the shop. It happened to me with a large panel raising bit. The

"when", I have yet to find an untwisted board ready to be assembled in any store. I buy 5/4 and thicker in rough, and first joint one face and next plane them. But, I let the lumber acclimate in my shop for at least a couple of weeks before. . p.s. I had a photo of my woodshop here for a few minutes untill I saved it in a document and deleted

Serge, you are a super woodworker! As for myself, first let me tell you that the blue painted cupboard that you see above is only my 2nd painted furniture ever. I hate painting furniture! In this project, my mistake was to follow Norm Abrams direction to use soft wood such as Poplar and then paint it over. Well, Norm was true to the piece in Winterthur

"When", according to my calculations you paid almost twice as much money for the red oak that you bought at Home Depot than buying it at a lumber supplier. You paid: 1.83 $/foot for a 4/4, 10' long, 4" wide = $18.3 The piece is 3.3 b. f. So it comes out to 18.3 / 3.3 = 5.5 $ / b.f. At the following place you pay $3.85 a b. f. for

Thanks for the info. I got a green light from the wood supplier to consider White Oak for the Open Hutch and the Pie Safe. In 4/4 the 200 b.f. will cost me 200 x 2.75 = $550 plus $35 for shipping to my home. The wood supplier would be: http://www.hardwoodstore.com/lumber.html In the meantime I am studying this since my experience with Oak has been limited

"When", I don't know how I got stuck in this discussion forum of items for sale. I make projects for my family and friends, only. I would never sell an item b/c just the costs of lumber would make it prohibitive. Look at the price of cherry lumber (in Select) which is grown locally and which is higher than for imported mahogany. Isn't

"When", I went over the list and all your projects look GREAT! It seems to me that you're using one kind of wood for all projects. Is it red oak? Look at the project that I have just finished for my granddaughter to keep her stuffed animals in it. It is a Painted Cupboard per Norm Abrams plan #0707, but with few changes per "customer's"
