My main shop is 18’x24’. I have 2 shapers, Festool MFT table. 2 workbenches, 13” planer, 8” jointer, 15” floor drill press, 3 storage cabinets, 4x5 foot outfeed table with cabinet under, 14” bandsaw and 12” disk/6” belt sander, Unisaw with 52” fence, plus cyclone dust collector. It’s not roomy but I can make quite a lot there...

Shops are always an evolving thing in my view. I still have plans for a few more wall cabinets, one for shaper cutters, one for project parts and a large one for mostly hand tools and planes. And after 35 years I have decided to build a different main bench with storage underneath.

That's beautiful. My problem is that garage is too small. It's only 25' X 30', and it's rather crowded.

I like having things on wheels so I can move them around - table saw, chop saw, jig saw, and drill press.

I purchased CFast cards for my 1Dx2 in 2016. Now technology marches on to a newer card format. It’s just the nature of being on the leading edge. And the cost of CFast cards never really came down much.

I would make sure you have the latest firmware in your camera. These are basically computer systems with lenses...
Good Luck!

I would contend that furniture and cabinet making goes much easier with precise cuts and Square cuts. Much like building the foundation to a building...if it’s right the rest goes easier.

When I need square cuts on my parts, especially sheet goods I go to my track saw and rails with a CNC or accurate pattern of holes. This can provide high accuracy that takes expensive machinery to duplicate in my opinion. Another option is to cut and then take to a precise shooting board and plane.

Most of my woodworking doesn't have to be precise down to a degree, but sometimes it does. One guy on YouTube recommended an "engineer's square," rather than the kind used by contractors because they are more accurate. As I said, absolute precision usually isn't usually a requirement for me, but I'm trying to decide which one of those magnetic cubes I should get. I'll have to do the double line test with all my squares to see how accurate they are.

Here is the whole riser setup on eBay. I think they cost $150 30 years ago...

Unfortunately, what they still sell is limited, and as I understand it, their products are now made in China (not positive). My Unisaw and other Delta tools are probably 20 years old and all made in the USA. I tried to find a riser block (for resawing) for my classic Delta bandsaw, but they no longer list one - should have bought it when I bought the saw.

Most mid to low end machinery is made off shore today. I thought they made the redesigned Unisaw in Tennessee but don’t know for sure. I would probably recommend a SawStop or Powermatic 66 if someone asked me about a cabinet saw these days. Festool / Festo owns SawStop now. There are still decent used Unisaws on eBay too. My current one is about 20 years old.

My Delta 14” bandsaw dates from the mid 80s. I have the riser and fence for it. Virtually never use the fence and it is not a great re-sawing machine with the 1 Hp motor. I put Carter guides on it but they are still a pain to adjust. The Powermatic bandsaw is nice but about $3k. I don’t use it enough to justify that much. Maybe one day I will put a 2 hp motor in it...

Even back in the 80s certain Delta machines were made in Brazil by Invicta. It’s sad what machinery has degraded into unless you get into real commercial grade stuff. I still have 2 Delta HD shapers and a Powermatic 28. Delta 8” jointer and 13” and 20” planers. Always preferred Delta over Powermatic, sort of a Chevy vs Ford thing I reckon...

I might contend that CNC is CNC but wood is not metal when it comes to holding dimensions...

There is not a wood working machine that can be as accurate as metal working machines used for the airo space industry.
My dad was a inspector and model builder in that industry.

Delta is still in business, but not the Delta it once was. But neither is the woodworking machinery business. It’s www.delta machinery.com. If I ever decide to spend the money I will buy some Martin woodworking machinery. Their US headquarters is about 20 minutes from me and I stop by and visit occasionally...

Interesting story. I have the same Unisaw except my out feed table is the Delta accessory for the saw and only is about 3’ long. Sadly, as I’m sure you know, Delta is out of business. I have to admit that I have never checked the table flatness across the top. We have a Starret straight edge at the company I consult for, and I may borrow it and check.

Set the 90 degree position and stop as that will be most used. There is usually a stop for 45 that can be set too. I have owned and used Delta Unisaws since 1986 and never rely on the angle scale for more than a rough estimate of an angle. There are a number of tools and methods to get other angles.

If you need accurate 45 along an edge the easiest and most accurate way is to use a 45 degree cutter in a router table or shaper. There are cutters available for routers and shapers for other common angles too. Check out Guys Woodshop on YouTube for a good video of doing 45 on a router table.

My youngest son is expecting his first child (which we know is a girl) any day. Due today, but she will be induced Friday week if she doesn’t go into labor first. Naturally, I’m thinking of all the photos I’m going to take of my new granddaughter when they bring her home (unfortunately grandparents are not allowed at the hospital due to the virus). My Fuji is a lot easier to carry than my Canon FF, but since I understand flash is not good for newborns (who knew?), I’ve been thinking that I don’t have a fast lens of just the right FL for available light, so, in the best UHH GAS tradition, I just ordered a Fuji XF 50mm f2 from KEH, which should be just right, and here Thursday, just in time. The moral is: any excuse will do to buy a new lens 😈.

I have had the lens for 4 years and it is worth the money if you shoot a lot at f/2.8 and in that focal length. For my shooting my 70-200 f/2.8 IS II gets much more use however...plus I can use it with the Canon Extenders too.

Just pay to have it repaired if it is a computer you are happy with and the price is justified. Do you use it as a portable a lot? I use my MBP more as a desktop these days and have Bluetooth keyboard and mouse I use with it.

Call canon support...

Ok, I have gone through the R5 manual (have one ordered) to find the answer, but can not.
I know C RAW is compressed so smaller file/MP. I could not find what the MP size is if I use compressed RAW. I know, why buy a 45 MP mirrorless and not use the full 45 available, but there are times when I don’t think I will care. I do some real estate stuff where smaller is just fine.

Question 2, does anyone know if you can set a custom control like C1 to crop and have my settings for wildlife and if for some reason I want to I could just go to C1 and it will go right to crop as opposed to having to go in and change in the menu? I may find cropping the full photo will result in better photos, but if something is far away, maybe the in camera crop will result in a better photo... I guess I will know with practice, but for now just waiting and reading!
Thanks Beth
