I started this project about 3 years ago and cut 9/10ths of it with a hand fret saw. However when I had to cut various bevels on the edges I realised that I had to move up to a precision tool and bought myself my Ex21. However I never got around to finishing it and found all the pieces recently still gathered together in a box. Have now finished it off. It is 40 inches (100cm) high and is quite impressive..

Very impressive!
Did you use a purchased pattern or design it yourself?
What wood did you use?Steve

Congratulations on an impressive heirloom piece. Well done.
One suggestion, you might make a note to go with it as to the source of the pattern and origin of the wood used, if that is of interest. If there is any chance you will make the pattern again, put some private notes with the pattern--how you did certain difficult cuts or fits; what you would do differently if you were to do it again.
thank you for sharing your picture of your work.

Reply to Harbor Fraughtby will8989That is the one store I physically get sick as soon as I walk in. The odor of rubber is overwhelming and I’m good for 3 minutes before I have to leave. Sure glad other stores aren’t like that. Hmmm maybe my bank balance would be higher if they were.

Seems like they want to market themselves as something more than just a cheap tool supplier. Maybe reducing the number of things eligible for the big discount coupons is part of a campaign to change their image....

Reply to Question about tilting head sawsby Bill WilsonI've owned both tilting table and tilting head saws. My current saw is an EX-21 (pre-Chinese made version) with the tilting head. I have to say that for beveled cuts, I much prefer the EX over my previous tilting table saws (Craftsman and Dewalt). I think a lot of it is the rack & pinion angle...

by hotshotJust a random annoyance . . . . Anyone get frustrated by the Harbor Freight ads that say no exclusions, then you see the details and see "for items under $20", or worse yet, in super small print, "Can not be used for: Atlas, Bauer, Central Machinery, CoverPro, Hercules, Predator, compressors,...
