Hi, I have been building models of all kinds since before WW2 & at nearly 89 I still enjoy doing it. I spend a lot of time building all types. I have built 6 train layouts since 1955, a small 4'x8' to later 10'x18'. all were fully detailed. Most all my trains were old time narrow & standard gauge geared locos. I build all types of fighter planes as I served in a post war fighter sqd. I have built a lot of wood sailing ship models & now do them all in plastic. I do alot of WW2 subs, carriers, & Battleships as my brother was in combat in WW2 & was on the USS Indiana.

              I build all kinds of car,  Here are a fewbut mostly race cars of all types as I have been going to races since my first in 1936. Nascar & Indy are my favorites , but I love & build a lot of Ferraris. Our home is full of built models of all types. Aside from 40 years designing & building homes models have taken most of my spare time. That is just a start I am just starting on Popeyes General Loco. I have been on ships for the last 3 or 4 years     Gene

Mark,

Just looked at the picture of your "Jim" saw in your reply to Thistle.  How did you attach the high piece of aluminum to your fence?  I purchased an extra fence to add a sacrificial wooden fence to give me more height as well as protection to my fence if I get to close.  I have always done this on my big Saw Stop to prevent fence damage but there are a lot of other means to handle this on a full size saw.  

I thought about using screws and just tapping threads in the fence but I can't seem to get up my nerve to mess up a brand new fence and thought maybe you had figured another way to accomplish this.  Your thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
