I'm looking at the Grizzly G0771Z table saw.  Anyone have any experience with Grizzly?

Why do you not like the 1x10's? Did you consider using a laminated panel that you can buy at a lumber yard? I've seen them at Lowe's and thought of using them for projects. 

The 1x10s seem a little more prone to warping in my opinion. Hadn’t thought of a laminated panel and it would look really nice! Then again, I like the seams that the individual boards show too

Didn't turnout exactly as planned but decent.

 

 

Edit: finished up the other two.

Combined a few things I love to make this. Completed just in time to celebrate the 4th.  Time to hang it!

Ordered a new king size mattress then had to hurry to build a bed to put it on. Made out of stud-grade lumber milled and joined. Lots of storage under the mattress. Finished it with an American Chestnut stain and two coats of polyurethane.

I wish!!!  I don't have a lathe. :(  I bought a bunch of blanks from someone online. 

 

I have 5 left, so I could theoretically make one more.

Here’s a little project I did a couple years ago. I did some tile work for our friends and kept some of the hardwood flooring I took out. I planed it down to about 1/2” and rejoined it all to cut down on the weight since it would be hanging on the wall.
It is inspired by the antique-looking one at Nick’s but I decided not to try to make it look antique. My wife wanted it done for a few years after seeing the one at Nick’s and she wanted it hung in our family room.

Sorry about the lighting. I’ll try to post a better pic later under better lighting conditions.

Not exactly woodworking but..

Recently, I’ve been playing around on a last engraver. I edited some photos of different locations to see the quality of the engraver. Holy cow is that thing freaking cool! In some of the Sample Gate engravings you can make out the bricks leading up to it. Crazy stuff!

Thanks man, first time trying to do photos. I’m looking at doing the new SEZ in the next few days.

What other places around Btown might look cool?

What type of engraver?  Looks awesome!

Epilog Mini. The largest it can cut/engrave is 18”x12”. The largest of the ones above are about 4” wide.

Here is a little different take on the Sample Gate.

Thanks, it’s a lot of skill by the engraver and very little by the user. Tutorials and instructables have taught me most of what I know.
