Vinny’s Pro Shop

Shop Tour -
Added on May 28, 2009

I have been watching you from the beginning, the show and your work are great! We here at PCWWC are a family owned and operated custom furniture and cabinetry company. We work out of a single car garage and recently have built a 10×16 dedicated finishing shop. We only spray water born materials and use a Fuji HVLP Q4 spraying system. We upgraded the heart of our shop last year to a PM2000, love it! We roll with a Dewalt planer and a Ridgid 6″ jointer. The jointer is soon to be up graded to a bigger model. As you can see in the pictures I have a 100 bd/ft of red oak for a kitchen refacing job we are working on. You and Matt have gotten me into hand planes, I am trying to hone my skills. We use a 1963 Craftsman 18″ radial arm saw for cross cutting our rough material. We do all of your dovetailing with the Leigh Super 24. We just purchased a CMT 333 for boring hinges. Drilling pocket hole screws are done with the Kreg master system. Enjoy the tour!

  Noticed the Boston helmet, but not till after the PM 2000..I love it as well..So I guess that demonstrated my priorities.. 1)Woodworker 2)Yankee fan BTW very nice shop, I’ve been looking at the combination jointer/planer and if I can get past the thought of that costing more than the PM2000, I might buy one. One can always use a 12″ jointer bed!!

You somewhat answered my question in the post. I was going to ask if you thought the ridgid jointer was adequate, as I have had my eye on one(deciding between that a bandsaw, drill press, or miter saw.

It seems like you think that it is not adequate? In which dimension the 6″ or the bed length or both?

  Hey Kevin
  
  Yes Go Sox for sure! Anyway, the rigid jointer is a great machine for the hobbyist or the small shop that only deals with 6 1/8″ boards or less. Anything over that I have to rip down, joint and glue-up, more time equals less money in my case. I am toying with the idea to just order my stock S1S or S2S so the size of the jointer isnâ

Kevin, as far as I know Ridgid stopped making that jointer some time ago. I even contacted them about six months ago and got a confirmation that they are not making it anymore. Unless there are some jointers left is a Home Depot somewhere or Ridgid decided to produce it back again I think you are forced to look at another brand.

I recommend any serious woodworker go with at least an 8″ jointer. The cost is only slightly more than a 6″ and boy, is it a BIG advantage! Of course, a 12″ or 16″ jointer is even better. But once you get beyond 8″, the cost increase is very steep.

I wouldn’t bother buying S2S lumber. My local suppliers carry only S2S. I’d rather buy rough because the S2S costs more and it is not by any means ready for work. I have to plane it and joint it anyway. S2S is just run through a big planer very quickly. The two flat sides will not be parallel and any low spots will still be “furry”.

Git ‘er done ! I’m sure that the new 10×16 is a godsend. Good luck with everything.

I live in Bloomington. I have a rough design for a dr table my son actually came up with for me. I live in a wheelchair. His design is an arch with seating for me and 6 others possible. Outside the box. I used to be a woodworker, hobby. Got old tools that are collecting dust.
A craftsman 4″ jointer belt drive from 1930s, a hand rabet plane made from osage orange, a wood carvers mallet made out of rosewood.
Anyways back to the table. Get back to me if interested in attacking this or talking.
