Post: RE: Retractable Electrical Hose Reel
That one looks decent. I have a Husky brand one I use. It has worked well.

"Nothing scientific - just curious why northern lawns use twice as much as southern lawns." Not so much "use" as "will tolerate" for the grass itself.

Walnut? Have to wait a bit for the leaves to come out.

Post: Walnut or Elm?
I thought this is an elm tree, I didn't pay too much attention to the leaves last year and I didn't think there were walnut trees here. But this seems awfully dark for elm.

"That's a pretty old valve. I'd think twice before turning it." This. Replace it with a quarter turn valve whether you go with the FIP or cutting it off for the compression valve.

"Dunno whether that helps, but my advice is to go big or stay home. The money is in big, custom stuff." Do you ship any of your items, or just local sales?

Post: RE: Festool ETS EC 150/3 EQ 6" Sander
For the hobbiest, it makes sense to me. If I were a professional, I would want the longer warranty and wouldn't want to spend the time to wait for what I needed.

I should go through a full adjustment first.  I think the Carter guides help quite a bit for resaw work, but I'm by no means a "bandsaw whisperer".  If the Laguna factory guides are better, I'll give ...

Post: RE: Bandsaw Guides
It has the ceramic guides now. I haven't gone through an adjustment to see how well they work. On my Ridgid saw, the guide block setup was junk and the Carter upgrade made a huge difference.

I picked up a used Laguna 1412. Is Carter still the recommended guide setup, or should I look for something else? I ahd the Carter on my Ridgid bandsaw and like it, but I bough it many years ago.
