Yup, same woes here with usps. Either it is extremely slow or what I get is often damaged and the box looks like it got ran over by a truck. I ordered something for Betty for Christmas and it's not going to be here on time, she'll get a picture of the item in a card. A bicycle tire shipment that was supposed to be 2 days is now going on 2 weeks. The only thing that comes on time is Amazon.

Finally, Laguna shipped my carbide bandsaw blade I ordered from Wodcraft on November, 26. I should get it on Monday, the 21st. .............. Jerry (in Tucson)
After badmouthing the USPS they came up the driveway and delivered my box of walnut crotches from Andy this morning before 8am. Maybe they heard me. Nah, musta been a seasonal contractor.
Jerry did you get a carbide blade?
We ordered a 8' Christmas tree online on 11/25 FedEx is delivering it or should I say "storing" it somewhere. I'm in the process of cancelling it but they say I can't since it's been shipped. I can start a return though before I even get it if ever
Yes, I did. It's due Monday, but who knows? ........... Jerry (in Tucson)
Ever had one before? I’ve thought about it but wasn’t sure if they are worth the coin
Michael, it's well worth it if you get a good quality blade.I set up one on the local Woodcraft store here and that was over a year ago. It gets a lot of use by a lot of different people, and it's still going.
I ordered a carbide blade about 4 months ago from them. The maker is Sterling/Diamond Saw. They have very good quality blades except the one described below. I've been using their blades for at least 15 years. This blade was welded in Phoenix, one of their nationwide distributors. I had it in the box for over a month before I decided to finally use it after 4 Timber
All teeth were present, so I decided to cut up some Texas Ebony and some Ironwood. When the first cut started on the TE, it was smooth but seemed to be a little slower than I thought it should be. It didn't bother me to much as Texas Ebony is some tough wood, so I continued and cut up the TE. I then got some Ironwood and kinda noticed a slower response, but that also didn't bother me because Ironwood is just a tad harder than the TE. After cutting possibly a hundred inches of wood between 4 and 6" thick, I was done. Wholly cow pies, over 2/3's or more of the teeth were gone. I took the blade off and headed back up to Woodcraft so they could send it back to Phoenix for a replacement.
Yesterday I got a call from one of their reps. We agreed that he will come out to my place with a blade and we'll set it up on my saw. He want's to see if I'm setting my saw up correctly. OK, that's their option. It's not going to happen until after January because I have stuff to do and can't be too distracted...... Jerry (in Tucson)
Merry Christmas to me!
This was ordered after Thanksgiving, but was on backorder. Just came in the mail, on time! My first "big boy" chuck. My others are all G3 chucks.

Put it under the tree and wait until that thumb feels better...
It won't go under the tree, but also probably won't have time to even open it until after Christmas. Too many presents to finish, and a lot of cooking to do.

Your going to love that chuck! I now have 2 of them with a few sets of jaws and cole jaws too. Really nice chucks for the money.
I'm looking forward to having it available, spend way too much time changing jaws especially this time of year when I'm switching back and forth between small and large, spindle and bowl turning.
Will the G2 accept the G3 jaws? I have 2 G3’s.
All Nova chucks/jaws are interchangeable. Having said that, the largest, the Titan III uses three screws per jaw, so those jaws won't work on smaller chucks. But within the G3 and Supernova chucks, all jaws will work on them. I'll probably use 70mm on the SN 2 for roughing bowls and the 50mm and some pen jaws on the G3 chucks.
My magazine came in the mail a few days ago. Looks like several people read it before it got to my mail box. My turn tonight.

You are probably right Mark. Merry Christmas.
