Anyone brave enough to use this shaper setup to profile some railing? Its coming along, but man, sometimes it feels real hairy. Its crazy what I get paid compared to what the client gets charged for these “fancy” wood things.

Sometimes… Catastrophic failure. Wood and it’s abnormalities.

Obviously I’m okay, but don’t show my wife this. :wink:

Do table routers come with a emergency sawstop device like you can get for table saws?

Wood is a material that always keeps you on your toes, countless times I’ve had the wrong thing chip out and ruin a perfect project… can smell your shop from here!

Not that I’m aware of, but those shapers were made in the 60s. There’s a huge brake pedal at foot, but it still takes a bit to spin down. As with all tools there’s risk, but with proper training and being self aware, you can make some pretty sweet stuff.

I love the smell of most woods. We work with a lot of mahogany and it can be pretty stinky, but other times smell incredible. And the black walnut smells great when the tool warms it up a bit. Then there those blueish /purple streaks on poplar. When you hit one of those o. The table saw it smells so foul. I love it regardless.

I gotta show you this huge lathe we have at work. Actually I’ll take some photos of the huge tools we have. I’m still impressed. We have an old jointer from 1896, and it’s the best one in The shop.

I like the old tools. Quality machinery that still produces quality products .
Imagine that. Some tools now days won’t last 10 years.
Sure wish high schools still taught shop classes.

Oops. Last one is accidental. But the railing is finally shaped.
