Charles, what is that little tube that goes down and terminates by the band saw blade top guide bearings?

Charles, you said that you have a wood there that is goods for the outside and I dont know if i got the name right but i belive you said "IPE" (?)

If i'm right, is it a very hard wood? is it a native wood? Because here in Brazil we have a wood called Ipe and it is great for outside use. Thanks.

@exortus no IPE is not native to the USA, its the same wood you have there, nice stuff and extremely durable,

Charles, excellent video - I'll be adding you to my favorites and watching for your other videos. It is nice to see someone anticipating that not all of us have professional woodworking shops full of equipment. 9 out of 10 videos (or closer to 87%) I watch assume that, love your statistics comment btw, hehehe
