Welcome aboard from another fellow Texan!

So sorry I did not introduce myself as a new guy when I first jumped into this forum. Hello to all of you GJ guys. I originally posted a question about rip fence upgrades for my 10" Craftsman saw. I received several responses to that question and now wonder who might have suggestions for...

I have only recently found this lovely site and would like to know from the old-timers if there are tips for searching for specific stuff that can make the posting and searching even easier. Is there a way to get a notification if someone posts to your questions? I like the ease of putting up...

Do ya s'pose that is why much of the retail business has gone internet?????

The slow perpetual downgrading of the Sears brand began when KMart bought the brand. Does anyone remember when they put in those sparsely seen check out locations? That was when the service started to go downhill at an alarming pace. In most locations I have visited, their shelves are poorly...

That's a pretty serious little weekend project you got yourself into-Ha! Seriously, that looks like an awesome building. I am jealous of your space and the ability to go after something of that magnitude...not a project for the faint-hearted, and with snow around at that!

My recent project has come and gone with the use of the broken fence. Over the Christmas holiday break, my son and I installed a handscraped bamboo floor in our kitchen. Not a project for the faint hearted and not the easiest task I have ever undertaken. Due to the cost of the adhesive used...

I really like the idea of extending the table or enclosing the saw into a table, but for now my space is limited as I have too much other stuff in my garage. Hoping to one day add a shop onto the back of the garage with a walk through door, but that will have to wait for adequate funds to move...

Query to Showkey: Does your fence have a rear mount or just a front mount? Would you be so kind as to tell me the dimensions of the box tubing you used and how you fabricated the sliding member (the piece that locks in position? I also see that you have a sight gauge and a tape. Do you recall...

Oh to find stuff today made with the quality and durability back in the day when that stuff was made. Say what you will about the Craftsman brand, but back in those days, their products were much more substantial and durable than what you see today. I really like the stand this saw is mounted...

After finishing one of the tasks on the perpetual list, I finally had time to sit down and deal with the photos. I have attached same below if anyone is still interested in seeing them. The fence head is broken and it has been quite an interesting challenge to use the fence at all since it...

Did I fail to mention that I already feel like I have met a bunch of kindred spirits that share a love for woodworking and/or other hands-on skills? Thanks to all for welcoming me into the forum. I appreciate all the suggestions thus far.

Thanks to all for the awesome suggestions! Note to Drivesitfar and Rock knocker: I am having a little bit of difficulty uploading the pictures because I have a very slow computer and when I attempt to select the photos to upload it goes into a dark hole in cyberspace!?!?!?! Please forgive...

Thanks for the awesome suggestions. I live in Houston, TX and since I am new to this forum, I may need some help in adding photos of my saw and broken fence, although now I see there is a link to add an image. Note: I thought the fence needed to be mounted to both the front and rear of the...

You will never regret the quality and durability of Snap-On. Their tools are more expensive, but also more comfortable to use in day-to-day repairs because they are engineered with the end-user in mind. They are also guaranteed against breakage. With a 60% disount, you can't go wrong!
