happy to do so. Just post it here.
It's sad to note that many, if not most, of those kids would die in the trenches in the following six years.

Very cool, a mostly lost talent suspect. With out the sound I imagined hearing the music that Festool plays on their site. ;~)

Your Laguna cut as smoothly as that bandsaw? But, forget the bandsaw, I'd like some of the wood that was available in that era and the prices that went with it. Imagine what it would be worth in today's market?

Really! Most knowledgeable people would kill for a 36" machine.

Absolutely!
But, forget the bandsaw,
No kidding! no gluing up of pieces to achieve the needed thickness. Actually we have a lumber yard that has stock like that but I fit in to that group that "If you have to ask you can't afford it".

If there's any lumber yards within an hour's worth of Toronto that have lumber fitting that description, I haven't yet seen one.
One of my fantasies after finally owning my own home is to search out a slab of solid wood suitable in size for a dining room table. I can just envision myself setting up router jig and flattening a wooden slab that size.

On the (not quite OSHA-approved) shaper? Yes. On the bandsaw? No.

Well, you can always contact these folks. They supply large slabs of woods for conference tables, etc

On the BS, it looked like a 2x2 about 8" long. It had several slots in it. The guide on the shaper looked like a carving.
I was once told by a Minimax rep that a good BS does not need a guide. I tend to agree. Not saying that the BS in the video was not an excellent one, just that the guide block was marginal by today's standards and saw would probably easily keep up with most of today's machines.

Yeah. I could use that house down payment and put it towards buying one of those monstrous slabs of wood. Sat through the slide show. Some absolutely monstrous pieces of wood there. And, a hell of a lot of it, stickered, stacked and drying. Think I'd have to visit British Columbia to find anything to match what they had at Urban Hardwoods.

These guys look to have some interesting slabs:
Some of their slabs seem cut a bit thin compared to the overall size, but what do I know?
