Summer Changes

I decided a few weeks ago to upgrade the primary set of power tools in my workshop. By primary set I mean those that are used to do the initial heavy lifting, the table saw and jointer. You could include the planer in that set of machine tools also. I focused on upgrading the table saw and jointer though, by ordering new tools from Grizzly after doing a lot of research beforehand.

My organ building workshop was mostly populated with stationary power tools from Grizzly, and I like the fact that the new tools again came from Grizzly Industrial. The new table saw and jointer arrived this past Friday, and it was quite an interesting chore to move multiple shipping crates from the loading dock down to my workshop even with much appreciated help. I will be in the process the next few weeks of doing all the assembly and set up work to render them operational.

Thanks to John Doric and his girlfriend Laura for some much needed help with some of the heavy lifting last Friday night. I think we all admit that Laura - replaced in the photo here by a surrogate engine hoist - did most of the work.
