    I have that Powermatic chisel mortiser and am not very impressed. I just acquired an older machine made by Bridgewood. It's much bigger and more solid. Shame Powermatic isn't what it used to be. I also have several Felder machines and they never disappoint. One thing, I'm not sure I liked the constant commentary all the way through it. Less is more!

      Well, Powermatic is no longer American made. It is what I call "Corporate Counterfeit" (also a major issue in the hand tool sphere) IF I was the 'decider' I would pass a law forbidding companies to make business that way. Meaning, IF you buy an American made machine or tool, or English made, or German made, or Swedish made etc. It would all be made in the country of origin....heck, same thing with cars. If I buy a BMW I buy it precisely because it is a German made car by Germans etc, not that it is assembled in the US of A. That's not what I'm paying for. Rant over. :)

      Thank you. I don't really have plan. I had a design that I made on illustrator for the panels, the general look and the joinery if you want. You can download it here : drive.google.com/file/d/1-6kjwRSOrVjTTDhEvPYHwcRG62yq8-Js/view But I found thicker bords than expected, I decided to make the double doors smaller and to add windows... So the initial design is not exactly what I ended up doing.

      I design them on illustrator. This is a must have skill for the tool. You have a lot of things online, but they are often not exactly what you need.

Shaper hub is an awesome resource if you want inspiration.
