Thank you for the info Lon. I’ll have to see who carries them but sounds like it will have to be ordered. Anybody knows who carries them?
Try a Woodcraft store or woodcraft.com Bill. Not cheap but I sure was impressed.
Finished a pocket door then went to town on casings in the basement today. Should have them all down in a couple hours tomorow.
Nice choice of blades! I’ve been using the Chopmaster on my miter for quite a while now. It cuts like a dream! What tooth count did you go with Lon?
I have the Chopmaster also and it makes flawless cuts (no splintering) on the miter saw. I thought I would try the Woodworker II as others thought highly of it. I first purchased a standard kerf 40 tooth blade that would handle 2″ thick plus stock as I was cutting some thicker boards. I liked that one so well I thought I would try the thin kerf for thinner stock and ordered the 48 tooth blade. As an FYI, these blades will rip and crosscut in your table saw. I am able to rip straight edges and able to glue directly without jointing.
Today we started a new job. It’s two cupolas that going on an existing building in a municipal park in a nearby city. The cupolas are small, only about 7 ft tall, but complex. It should be an interesting project. We’re building the cupolas in the shop, then we’ll crane them onto the building.
Got our floor deck on at the addition, and then we tore out some old plaster/lath/insulation at the other addition. Came home a filthy mess.
Some perimeter caulking from today at 26 stories on high rise. Practice makes ….er close to perfect?
That’s an operational window. The caulking is the precast to metal off white.

This is the 40T blade that will rip and crosscut or the 48T? I’m looking for a top quality blade for my table saw at the moment…the 30T glueline Freud industrial blade is great, but not quite a glue line..

Forrest claims both blades will do well at each task and my experience has me agreeing. I have been able to glue directly from cuts from each blade.
Got the drawers built and fitted this morning.
Looks like a nice cabinet. Where will it go?

BE the change you want to see.
Even if you can’t Be The Pro… Be The Poster you’d want to read.Cleaned up the thickness planer and put the best edged blades I have on hand into it. I thought I had a new set, but I was mistaken.

Thanks 🙂 It’s a dresser for a family with two little girls. They asked me to build that and a bookshelf – I’ll be dropping them off tonight.

__________________Got all the casing done today that goes in the basement. even got it all ready for the painter, All my joints are sanded and all my nails are set.
Started on getting the slabs prepared. Got one edge cut on 2 slabs that will be the middle of the table. Clamped them up together so I can plane the mating surfaces together. Had to stop for the day. Not used to working hard. There is a bit of cupping that I will have to deal with soon.
