How far 'out'?

[jimmyjimmy]

I don't think Festool sells what I want here. Also Jet isn't exactly cheap.

Jet® 6'' Deluxe Jointer w/Quick-Set Knives, Model JJ-6CSDX $919.99

I need the extended bed jointer for making long edge glued table tops.

Jet® 14" 1.25HP Deluxe Band Saw $999.99

I like the Jet Band saw for it's 13" resaw capacity. I plan on making a mini sawmill sled for it and milling my own hardwoods.

Except for a new table saw down the road these tools will complete my power shop ( I've had the same Craftsman table saw for nearly 40 years, and I'd like some newer features).

The poor will just have to eat 'rice and beans' for a while.


Edit: I also might buy a sliding miter saw for cross cutting long boards. My brother left me his Craftsman radius-arm saw but the new sliding saws take up less space, and are more accurate.

That's a little pricey (the helical cutterhead accounts for about $400 alone).

My mother used to say, " Swallow hard, and pay".

Carbide blades are a good compromise for a 'wood butcher' like me.

I pay people to make stuff for me, because it costs me 10 times more to do it myself: TOOLS!

That's no fun.

Fun is the chef's tasting menu at the French restaurant down he street.

Christian are counseled to come out of the world, be separate, so as not to be harmed by it. The question is how far out do we come? How much do we avoid or disassociate ourselves from the secular community? Can we 'go in and out' as it suits us without being hypocritical?

Wait.... perhaps I'm misunderstanding...

But did you just speak out against secular society, as if it is a bad thing?
As in, you would prefer to live in a theocracy?

 

[TagliatelliMonster]

not as it suits you, but only enter with a clear purpose and stick to it.
At the same time be aware always that you are in hostile territory, and in harm's way. and if you are not received, then leave.

Likewise to my previous post....

Did you just call secular society to be "hostile territory"?

Secular society is a mixture of good and evil, so it's a confusing and dangerous place. We have to live in it but we don't have to be part of it's evil. We are actually charged to do good while we're waiting for the theocracy to arrive.

(Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

How so?

, so it's a confusing and dangerous place.

Seems to me that the most "dangerous" places on this planet are dictatorships and...theocracies. Secular societies are actually the safest places to live.

We have to live in it but we don't have to be part of it's evil.

Remind me again, which evil?

We are actually charged to do good while we're waiting for the theocracy to arrive.

Myeah.... good luck with that.
