I have access to my stepdads tools but I'm borrowing his circular saw enough that I thought I should get my own. I will just use it for diy stuff and a few projects (the biggest being a toy box for my daughter). I went to Home Depot today and they had a rigid and a makita for $99. I was just...

Grizzly is 245 with 55" track and clamp pack here: http://www.grizzly.com/products/t25552 One day I'll own some festool stuff but being in grad school I try to get bang for the buck.

I had not thought about a track saw but that saw seems to be a pretty good solution for me.

I have two hands just 5 fingers. I can use my left hand to guide the saw I just don't have quite the grip everyone else does :)

I went to lowes and Home Depot today to go hold different saws. I think I'm going with the makita hypoid saw. It was the most comfortable for me although it's not easy to tell when they are chained to the wall.

Not much in terms of progress because it's so cold but I did pick some stuff up on clearance at tractor supply that I'll need for this project.

Thanks for the suggestions I'm getting into a bit of beginner woodworking and making furniture for the house as well as making some storage for the shop. The plan is to use the circular saw to cut stock down to size. Aside from simply cutting stuff down to size I've considered making a French...

If I'm going to change the blade anyway is there much difference in quality? I am definitely not opposed to finding a pawn shop buy and swapping blades.

We moved into our current house (renting) after I got accepted to med school. One of the selling features to me was the single car garage/ shed for my tools and projects in the backyard. It's a decent size for me and has a space that's almost as big that is covered but exposed. For 2015 I would...

Thanks. I actually have a unique situation, which is why I was looking at sidewinders. I have no fingers on my left hand so I want to be able to place my left (nub) on the nob and my right on the actual handle. From the ones I've handled I like the blade on the left. I'm just confused...

I'm looking for a good circular saw and was considering the bosch cs-5. This will be my first circular saw and I'm not certain what to look for, but I'd like to stay under $150. Thanks

PCO6 I really like that idea. Very nicely done

I looked up 2x6 workbench and found this. I think I want to try it, although not drilling all the holes in the top. What kind of bit would you use to drill the 3/4" holes through 14 2x6s lol? Also what is the easiest way to cut dovetails ?

Thanks for the suggestions. I wasn't sure how much lumber would cost to be honest, because I've never build anything this big before. I'm about an hour from little rock so I'll check craigslist there. What and where would you buy a top from? Also, this may be an incredibly dumb question, but...
