Hello John , I have always enjoyed your build alongs , thanks for posting them . I have 2 questions . I know you have explained this before but what are you using for your vacuum bags & pump . Next is your drum sander , how well does it work for you by making 2 passes for a wide panel . I am looking for a drum sander as far as my next purchase . Thanks again , Gary

Looks like it's on this coming Thursday eve..I'll give it a look..thx.

You always post interesting threads.

I am looking forward to watching you build your door.

I have one of the Diemaster II blades on my saw right now. It doesn't cut quite as clean as a Woodslicer, but it's already lasted longer than the WS did. It's the one I'll use from now on, I bookmarked that page you linked.

I put one on last year. I also have a thein baffle. I made a doughnut out of MDF. I put a groove to set over the edge of the DC to help seal. It has been working well for me.

Steve,
When I built my "minimalist saw till" I made the slots on 1 3/8" centers. That allows enough room for you to get your fingers in and grab the saw handle but still allows for maximum storage capability.





I also used a plain wooden dowel for the handle rest. So far this has worked out great for me.
