was gonna buy it but shipping was just outrageous...

That line is probably quite lucrative and fairly specialized. I'll bet they do a really brisk business in it.

They also put out a Luthier's Catalog. On the current cover is a true monstrosity. Absolutely gorgeous quilted maple painted over with a fake cob web and some spiders.

I should be getting a regular catalog shortly if you already have yours. It takes longer to get them in West BFE.

pickup. However it took my neighbor and I to unload it. Sent it back because I got too tired sliding it around in my small shop. W W

LOL! SH

The new full catalog has the same monstrosity. As you can imagine,

*someone* at Grizzly is quite proud of that piece.

Yea, but the extra help to get the 3600 lbs from the truck deck the the shop might cost as much again. Then there's the problem of clearing a space big enough to set the box, let alone assemble the pieces to make it work. And my home made trusses aren't strong enough to lift it out of the way to cut a full sheet on the tablesaw. Not that I have that kind of room now:-) Joe

Good point. Seems to be true of a lot of woodworking machines; often, if you are making one-offs, seems a lot more time is spend adjusting, setting up and making test cuts with the big machines. One of the things driving me to be a hybrid neander.

Looking at it, I'd guess one could use it to re-saw 8' x 12' shop buildings.

Um. I'm pretty sure you'd have to have a 10 ga. extension cord.

Me three. Especially about the spider thing, and several of his other guitars too, for that matter. Sure dude, you can make ugly things all kinds of fancy, but they're still ugly.

I wonder if his shop is bigger than Jay Leno's garage.

[Silvan]

A hybrid neander. I'm going to steal that, so you'd better go file a copyright or patent application or something. :) That's a great way of putting it.

[TWS]

It would have to be to fit this slicer in it...

When you have access to a tools like this I suspect a lot of the fun goes out of the woodworking. What do you think?

I dunno, have you seen Jay Leno's garage? He'd have to move a dozen or two cars out of the way is all.

I imagine so.
