Why am I so slow....

Your only slow if the person paying you is waiting. If that's not the case, take your time and have fun. Your doing fine.

I work at two speeds: 1) not so slow and 2) slow as molasses

The only way to produce at speed #1 is to do thorough planning and layout. If I "design on the fly", I make more mistakes and take longer. I'm getting better and better at using a 3-D cad program which helps me eliminate many many mistakes because I can "test fit" in the computer and find the problems before cutting a single board.

Hiya Lou, Well I'm sorry to say that it sounds like you've been putting your's to a lot more work than I have mine! I've gotten tangled up in doing saltillo floors in the house and haven't had so much as a minute to do anything in the woodworking realm. :( .

I do plan to get some bookshelves built, a dresser, a couple of tables and some chairs but until I get the tile down, the beast sits idle.

As for the wing, yup, they sent a new one immediately and didn't want the old one. I think I'll use the old one in some fashion as a sharpening station or something.

Glad to see you're getting your $$'s worth and it's working well. Can't wait to put mine through the paces. I hope to be done with all the saltillo stuff in a couple of weeks and then it's off to the lumber yard! Cheers, cc
