Don't despair Gene. There are probably a lot of people like me, and mine goes out tomorrow. I haven't received one yet either, but I think it's still early. Yours will likely show up, mine to.

Poplar can present difficulties staining as different areas of the board will absorb the stain unevenly and produce a blotchy affect. The color can also run quite a bit different in areas. Some of the blotching can be overcome by using gel stains, or by using a thinned down coat of shellac or other product as a wood conditioner prior to the stain application. Personally I have made several large pieces from poplar and with good staining they have been well accepted.

Be careful about giving up those vices! You could be like the guy in the Mark Twain story. Twain went to visit a sick friend and told him , "you need to quit drinking". The reply was "I gave up drinking a long time ago".
"then you need to give up smoking"
"gave that up to"
"Then quit chasing women"
"I gave up women go""
"Then quit cursing"
"Never did curse"
"See, there's your problem!" "You are like a sinking ship without any ballast to throw overboard!"

Just information for comparison: I am vice-pres of our local St Petersburg Woodcrafter's Guild and I received an email this morning from someone wanting to sell an RBI 226VS in top condition for $450. Thought you might want to know.

Terrific saw in my opinion. I have had a 16 and now the larger one. I think they are excellent. Good Luck!
