I have the Shop Fox version of the Grizzley jointer, which has done a good job for me.

I use a plywood insert with a 2 x 3 stop, to plane down to 1/16". It needs to be long enough to cover both the infeed and outfeed tables. I finished it with polyurethane and a good coat of paste wax.

I agree with you about the bandsaw. When I saw the pattern the scrollsaw was the only safe way to cut the pattern.

Found the plan at Wood Magazine that I talked about yesterday. Here is the link if any one is interested.

I had to blow the pattern up 132% to be the correct size.

I too have made quite a few of these fish. I got the pattern from Wood Magazine, there sight was down for maintenance when I tried to find a link for the pattern. The pattern is dated 2007.

Another thing that well is to dilute  wood glue with water, and the paint the edges of the MDF.

Another thing that you could do is put a piece of 1/4" plywood under the good wood thus creating a zero clearance insert to combat the tear out.

The space for my shop is 10 x 20, which is the 3rd bay of a three car garage. It is uninsulated, but here in SW Washington I can work out there year round most days. I have a full assortment of hand and power tools.  My table saw, planer, band saw, drill press, scroll saw, and jointer are all on mobile bases.

I built my stand so that I could sit at it to work. Then to help deaden any vibration I designed the base of the stand to hold 25 pounds of sand.
