here is mine. Not the biggest thing but it works for now. I dont remember what size it is now. I think it is 15 x 24 or something like that. Like everyone else I wish it were 4 times bigger. lol http://huhdowhat.com/shop.html

Im no genius and I know that you asked travis but here is my two cents worth. It is my understanding that you are allowed to cut any pattern and sell your finished product. You can not however sell the pattern itself unless you made it. It is also my understanding that you can not sell anything nascar related or disney related or any company that has a legal copyright. Disney has a copyright on their characters and nascar has a copyright on their drivers and cars. As such you can not sell your finished works without the respectful owners permission. I have heard that nascar has went so far as to not allow you to do anything with the pictures you take at the raceway aswell.

That is a nice looking pen. Where did you get your kit if you don't mind me asking? I like it alot. Ben

Depending on how tight your budget is. If you can afford it get it. I have a variable speed adjustment on mine and love it. It is nice to adjust the speed when needed. Ben

My absolute favorite is my fridge and my radio. If those are not considered tools I guess it is a toss up between my scroll saw and my lathe. Ben

How about a blade size recommendation chart like what blades to use with what size wood. I know you can find some on the net but it would be nice to have one available here so I don't have to remember where I saw it. Ben

Here's my pattern entry. Ben

I must have looked right over that jig. Will add that to my list. Thanks for the input guys. I think I am going to place my order tommorow. I don't plan on doing any bowls at all but you never know what will happen down the road. My dad wants to do old style turkey calls whatever that is but he said he doesn't need much as of hp so for the money I think this one will do. Ben

I have finally saved up some cash. I read claytons posts and have never heard of PSI. I looked at their site and found a lathe I am interested in. http://www.pennstateind.com/store/TCLVSXX.html This is the one I am looking at ordering. The reasons are I was told earlier that the mini lathe will do fine for pens and bowls. The other reason is because this one has the variable speed which I like and it has the option to add an extension bed later down the road incase I want to do larger spindles or something. I can get a grinder from lowes or somewhere cheaper than buying one online so sharpening wont be an issue except for the jig to use. Does anyone know where I can purchase one? Also does anyone have the lathe I am looking at and can give any issues with it? Any other suggestions for lathes? I have about $450 to spend on one. Thanks Ben

Welcome back. Ben

I am like some of the others. I started out making larger stuff like tables and pie safes and stuff. I needed a scrollsaw to cut a design in a project rather than use a jigsaw. Went to lowes to take a look at what they had. I will be honest I leaned towards the hitachi because of the looks, went home to do some research then went back and purchased it. After I bought it I had to do something with it to pay for it. Started looking on the net for what it was used for, I had a basic idea but had no clue as to how many nice patterns there were available, and found a wealth of information. Well now I don't do big stuff anymore, except for the occasional project, because I got bit by the scrolling bug. Ben

Messy is an understatement. The dewalt blows chips everywhere, I read somewhere that the extractor fan on it blows up the bags on a dust collector without turning the collector on. That is some power. I have the luxury of living in a rural town so there are no neighbors around, I have a brush pile over the hill from the shop that I throw scrap wood on that has no other use. Mostly projects that went bad and left over pieces from skids that I dismantle that have to many nails to burn. That is where I point my planer and let the chips go where they want. It blows them a good 10 to 15 feet. Ben

Figures. Lowes is probably the same way. Ben
-
Let me know if the borg gives you the price match. I may be making a trip down the road to lowes with a piece of paper in my hand and see if they will match my new nail gun. Ben

scrolling-sit or stand--chair or stool-lemon oil???
yost69 replied to floridagramps's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I have my saw sitting on top of the workbench it is not the Dewalt it is the hitachi. The bench is about 4 feet tall. Vibration is there as I don't have it mounted but it is not enough for me to worry about. My saw came with a stand but I never put it together so it is just sitting in the attic. I sit on an adjustable stool kinda looks like a barstool. You can see it in this pic here. http://huhdowhat.com/images/shop/shop3.jpg It is fine for me but I know of others that sit in a full back chair. I just don't have the room. I will agree with Travis. If you can afford it get it unless you have a bench or something to mount it to. It will help to get rid of most if not all of the vibration. Ben -
I have the Dewalt 735. I have had for just over a year now but have only used it a total of 10 times maybe. I have not had any problem with it at all. If you expect a finished product from it you will not get one so the finish setting on it is not truthful. I always expect to do some sanding so that is no big deal to me. For jointing you can use the table saw or I have also used a straight bit on the router table. If you google jointing with a router table you will come up with several how to's they are all basicly the same. Now nothing beats a jointer by any means but when times are tight which would you rather do? Get your edges perfect and sand the wood to thickness with your belt sander or get your wood to thickness and joint the edges as best you can? I would go for the planer as most woodworkers already have either a table saw or a router and table. If you have a router and no table I got my table from lowes and I think I only paid $70 for it. To long ago to remember. Ben

Well at least they thought it was good enough to steal and sell. On a serious note I did try to report them to ebay but apparently I can't register on the uk site with a us address. Do you recognize the seller name so you at least sold a copy to them? or did they copy it off of a friend. Ben

A very popular website says it is possible but would take hours to do with expensive equipment. Ben But the new thing is the tennis ball trick. LOL What will they think of next.

I don't put a finish on my bb cuts. I don't know the outcome as of yet, but would agree that I would think the color would change on the wood over time. But I also do the scrap piece thing with different woods and stains that way I can just find the scrap that matches my project and see what stain will look best on it. Ben

Here is a tutorial from steve good. Part 1 Part 2 Hope this helps you out. Ben

Last year was the first time I participated in sending ornaments to them. I will say it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside when you donate to a worthy cause. I for one am against the way the war was initiated, will keep my opinions to myself, but I always remember that it is not the soldiers fault. I am so greatfull for what they do to keep this country free. I joined the army fresh out of highschool, went to the MEPS center in Baltimore and barely passed the physical (back issues from lifting weights in shcool). Was enlisted for just under a month when the c/o saw how I couldn't touch my toes without my face turning red from the pain. Needless to say they booted me. Enough about me. Thanks to everyone that participates in this challenge. Ben

I did some page turning and came up with all us military insignias that are created by the us government are copyright free or public domain as it is called. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commo ... y_Insignia On that note, I turned up some interesting info about the new air force and new army logos being copyrighted. But I can not find any information to back that up. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index ... 851AAN80VH This doesn't pertain to what you are trying to do but what I read states that "However be care full on how you use them. If you use them in a manner that someone MAY even think reflects you are trying to make something look official, you can be subject to penalties" So basicly, if the logo was made by the government for government use it is public domain. If on the other hand it was made by a company or private person for government use, even with federal funding, it may be copyrighted. http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/c ... omain.html Ben Geez my head hurts.

I thought in the united states that military insignias were public domain. I will do a little digging and see what i can turn up.
