High gas prices according to the Oil Co's that which will go even higher.



Ed, congrats on the new saw.

Thanks Ken,

In reference to gas and oil prices, google 'peak oil' and see what you think.

Ed.......:-)

Well folks,

My new saw is here (a couple days ahead of time), first task, make a rolling base for it so I can move it easily in my little 14' x 10' shop which seems to be shrinking fast.

Ed......:-)

Ed, congrats. Looking forward to some shots of it all set up!

Hi Ed,

Good to hear you got it early. If I may suggest, look at Grizzly for their ShopFox mobile base. It might be easier than trying to build one.

Congrats on the new toy, Ed. I agree with Ken on the mobile base. I thought about making my own for my jointer and it turned out to be cheaper and easier to just buy it.

Thanks for the ideas guys but I'm all set....have the wood from pallets, bought the wheels, I think it will work fine but if not, I have your suggestions and will certainly consider them.

Thanks,

Ed......:-)

Congrats Ed. Use it "SAFELY". We don't want another Harry (with split thumb).

Hi Dave,

You bet I'll use it safely. Whenever I look at my hands I always realize these hands play the piano too, so when I'm working wood I am very careful. I've heard it's hard to play the piano with digits missing and don't really relish the experience so I will do as you advise and play safe in the woodshop.

Thanks,

Ed......:-)

Hi All,

Well, spent some time getting a rolling base built this AM/PM....and it seems to work fine. The wheels might be a tad small, if so, I will get bigger ones but the saw isn't going to move great distances so it should be fine.

I've put a couple pics here just to give an idea of what the roller looks like....

Thanks for looking,

Ed......:-)
