Hello All,First let me say thank you to all who has contributed and gave me so much help in all my posts.
Now can anyone tell me if they know of any woodworking sites that have pictures of woodworkers workshops?? I really enjoy being able to check out what others shops look like and if I might be able to use any of the things that they have done in their shops in mine.
Thank you All,
JIM C the”PUTTERIN YANKEE”woodworking shop

Doc,
Woodcentral's shop shots has hundreds of pictures. Only some are of shops, but at least its a start. If you go to http://www.woodcentral.com and then search around up near the top the shop shots button is up there...

Hi Putterin'
Good construction is important:
Good quality thick carbide means many resharpenings
Good balance and square design. In my limited experience, the "wobbles" don't get you square.
Chippers that are consistently the same width
I believe in the "you get what you pay for" concept..probably to a fault..and bought a Forrest stacked dado set as my first (and only) stacked dado set. The thing was upwards of $200....
I use it all the time, I have yet to have to have it resharpened, etc and I have NO doubts that it's giving me the absolute best performance possible...not to say other sets won't do it as well....I just believe in Forrest blades..and, no, I don't work for Forrest or sell their stuff...smile.
Good luck. If you have good (or bad) experiences, please share. We all have lots to learn!
