When does the disease end?

So use a panel raising plane 8-)

Hmmm. Nice if you want fancy shaped mouldings without hand planing them, but for flat raised panels I'd rather use the table saw.

[Silvan]

Exactly. When the money runs out.

Can I have some money? :)

Well, yeah, when you've got one or more of each.

I was in there Saturday, with a coupon that gave me $10 off, if I spent $30. I got to $20 OK, but after that, it was difficult. SWMBO helped out by finding a book on building trellises and gazebos. Wanna bet that'll cost a few hunnert dollars? ;-)

Hmmmm.. let's see what that costs:

7518 3HP PC router $300 Router Lift(Jessum) $300 Fancy bits set $150 fancy router table $150 ______ $900

The joy of making (1) raised panel door can never be priced.

And that assumes you got the right profile door set to begin with...

I went to Menard's, Sears and Farm & Fleet last week with $100 for hand tools, and came back with one $10 t-bevel. It isn't that I have one of each of what they've got- it's that they've got almost nothing that isn't junk! Try finding a decent handsaw, plane, chisel, drawknife, or, well, anything there- it's like digging in the sewer half the time. Ah well, I just ended up wasting the rest on stupid things, like groceries....

I believe that, if you want to spend $100 on hand tools, and not end up with total junk, you're going to have to learn the ways of the rust hunter...

Because $100 doesn't buy a lot of Lie Nielsen. Or a lot of groceries, for that matter.

Well, already made a router table, don't need the lift, and already had a router.

So really, it just cost me $69.99 for the bit.

[Prometheus]

No, but if you're looking for one Lie Nielsen tool, a c-note might get you something. But that wasn't the problem- they just didn't have anything good, at any price!

But you're obviously in a more expensive area than I- $100 buys way more groceries than my wife and I can eat in a month! Might be the rural setting, but that's the smallest bill I've got.

With a budget of $1.67 per day, your wife must be thrilled that those scrumptious Ramen noodles are now available in so many different flavors... ;>
