Greg,
Picked up a Performax 22-44 on Sawmill Creek Classified for about half price. http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=85400
I had tried my thickness planer to but this gives a better finish.

Al,
I am truly impressed by the amount of product you produce using your CW. All I can say is WOW
Andrea
Al,
The pinned through tenons are "cool". Those touches make your projects very appealing. Thanks for sharing your work with the forum. Saves a lot of design headaches.

We are ALL our own worst critics. I think your work is great. It's is very innovative and gets the rest of us thinking about how we can expand and grow in the hobby. I learned long ago not to hold my breath until I turned out the PERFECT piece. It aint gonna happen, but if others like it... I'm happy.
I still have little clue how he finds time to do as much as he does, other than to say that he has worked out numerous techniques to work "smarter". I honestly believe, and often say, that Al has produced more projects with his machines than anyone else on the planet.
Hard to imagine this forum without him - he is a tremendous resource of knowledge and inspiration to be sure!
Thanks, AL!

Happy Carving!

At last count Al now has 3 machines. He works his butt off all hours and yes, has this down to a very efficient process.
I can't tell you how fortunate I am to have him as both a neighbor and friend. He's been a constant source of inspiration and knowledge.

I really have to agree with all the above
A Few Definitions of AL
#1 a Hard Working/Wood Carving Dynamo!
#2 a One Man Production/Assembly Line!
#3 a Forum Member that Manages to fit 36 Hours of work in 24 Hour day!
#4 a Constant Source of Help and Inspiration!
The list could go on
but then none of AL's Many
Hats would fit any longer
Please keep it up AL

"anyone else on the planet." Might have to amend that to "everyone else...combined" lolI honestly believe, and often say, that Al has produced more projects with his machines than anyone else on the planet.
