Careful gang, I lucked out and my reflexes are faster than I realized. Half the nail is gone and the tip took a haircut. Fortunately I had gorilla glue nearby, but probably should have gotten stitches...

On a related note, I need to start saving for a sawstop cabinet saw

Assume tablesaw based on your sawstop comment. I got the tip of my thumb a couple years back.
I immediately stuck my thumb into the belly of my shirt and put pressure with my other hand before even looking at it. The story of my dad cutting his pinky off and having to pick it up off the floor and drive himself to the hospital started running through my head and it terrified me.
I finally peaked and was sooooo relieved despite how deep it was.

Yea, I’m actively shopping for a SawStop myself after my own close call. Glad you are ok, OP.

I’m buying the PCS 3hp with a 36” fence. I’m just waiting for the fall sale where they throw in a mobile base for free.

I have a Rigid contractor saw that has served me OK, but the fence sucks and it’s incredibly hard to keep the blade true. I had the saw pinch a board and hurl it 20 feet into the back of my new car about 3 months ago and decided it’s time to upgrade. Scared the absolute hell out of me.

Glad you are OK (mostly) OP.

Almost lost my middle finger almost 10 years ago. Not a fun experience. Thank goodness for superglue and stitches!

Been busy making my garage into an actual shop. Put in 14 outlets on two circuits and added French cleats to two walls. Not done yet but a million times better than it was.

PSA: Jet and Powermatic are having supply chain issues. Ordered a jet dust collector in March with an April delivery date. Woodcraft has pushed it back every month and their current best estimate is July 7th (though they are still advertising a June ship date). Just keep that in mind if you have any sense of immediacy around your purchasing needs.

Any projects being worked during break? Show and Tell!

Wanted to share some advice for anyone looking at track saws. I just bought the bare WEN 6.5” unit ($145.29) and paired it with the Powertec guide rail set ($119.89) and came away with a solid setup at a (comparatively) cheap price ($265).

I was considering the Makita ($585) or Dewalt ($790) setups since those are my normal go-to brands, but couldn’t stomach the cost.

Highly recommend it!

Does anyone use SketchUp? Thoughts? Advice?

So I’m space constrained right now & there aren’t any maker spaces around me so I’m going a little crazy not being able to work on any projects. Humor me and show me what you are working on!

Finally! What’s everyone’s latest projects?

Recommendations for a book, website, or YouTube channel for beginner woodworking projects? I have a very good contractor table saw, orbital sander, and a few other basic tools...and would like to tackle a few projects to see if woodworking is something I really enjoy. I have three daughters ages 7, 11, and 13 so projects that could become gifts would be an added bonus.
