Hi,

So this is new forum and its for my other hobby, working with acrylic. I started out making sumps about 3 years ago because I needed one for my aquarium. Over the next few years I made about 10 different sumps for myself. I wanted to try out different configurations and the only way to do it was to make another one. So sometime late last year I decided to buy some nice equipment to help out and slowly found out I like woodworking also. The good thing about working with acrylic is that you can pretty much use any woodworking tool but it cuts more like aluminum then wood. So to pay for all the equipment and because I actually like doing it I became a vendor.

I'm not a master craftsman yet, my work is better than glass cage but not as good as envision acrylics. Every joint will not be perfect and there might be a small mistake here and there, but I will not give out a tank if I wouldn't be satisfied paying money for it. If you really want a spotless tank I would go to envision acrylics. My stuff is well made and resonable priced but doesn't compete with those guys yet. Also, hopefully very soon I will making skimmers which is exciting for me.

Paul, buddy, been a long time. Great to see you up and running. Best of luck on this venture.

FYI, MR members, I've seen Paul's work. He's very modest. His work is real nice.

:bigeyes: i see in a photo you got the saw stop :bigeyes:

how is it? care to give a mini review? that might be the next purchase I make for tools.

Thanks Everyone.

J -oh yeah I recommend it. One its a great saw and two the brake really works, I know for real. The brake alone makes it worth it. Only thing I wish they did different was have a cast iron bottom like the pm2000. But its a lot better than the pm2000 with fit & finish and its just larger.
