    I have it happen too on occasion. I use painters tape and spray on adhesive. I have a tape dispenser next to the saw ans will use some scoth tape when it happens. Not to panic just stop and tape.

    It is a tool that will help improve the quality of air in the shop if you turn it on over time. It is not a cure all. Collecting dust at the source is the main way to start in the quest for a clean shop and good health. Using a dust mask all the time in the shop is next especially if you are running dust making tools. Then there are these air cleaners that circulate the air and collect the fine particles that you do not see. Believe me you will see dust collected on the filters especially the low micron one. I have a large dust collector and air cleaner and there still dust through out the shop. Will never capture all dust but I do wear a dust mask and shop clothes that I remove when done so that I do not spread all around the house. Shops are made to be dusty. It shows you are working in there.

    Your lungs are cleaner.

    Lets look at it this way. Where are your box fans located?? Where is the air cleaner located?? That is to begin with. If your box fans are close to the saw you will capture more than the aircleaner because I assume it is mounted on the ceiling. The air cleaner will capture the dust that floats in the air that you barely can see. The dust around the saw is much larger particles. An aircleaner will never capture dust like that. With that said you will be surprised how much it does trap. When you say your shop is dusty what does that mean. Are you using other tools like a sander because again an air cleaner will not capture that large amount of dirt right away. You are expecting to much. For large dust collecting you need a vac system of some sort weather a dust collector or shop vac.

    I will be honest that to me is a very easy pattern and as far as starting I would start with hollys and end with letters. I use 1/2" to 5/8" red oak for just about all my projects. I use a #5 Penguin silver reverse FD blade for just about all my cuts no matter how thin the lettering is. I would stay far away from spiral blades unless you practice with them and know what they feel like. They are a different bird for sure. Not in my repertoire though. Good luck

    They came out well. Nice job.

    Have to agree with everyone else. Charity auctions or even church auctions would be glad to have your work. It is a win win if you are not strapped for cash from the materials. I still do a few craft shows that is how I get rid of some stuff plus the chariety thing. I now make things that are new and challenging. Always an avenue to pass on the projects so keep at it.

    I like these alot. Gives me an idea. I plan on doing some of air balloons using a turning method on my lathe but I like the basket which I may use. Thanks or showing.
  9. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    I have it. I bought the pattern. Thanks.
  10. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Thanks. That is basically what I do now too. I have an idea but always open for any other idea that may work. Thanks again.

    I have a question for you Iggy. How is your step stand made?? Is it a knock down version?? Do you have any seperate photos of it?? This is what I want to incorporate next year in my display. I am looking for ideas on methods. Thanks.
  12. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Don't they have to ask for permission??? You are famous here and that is what counts.

    Many ways of doing this and not sure how Kevin does it being this is his thread. But will give you some ideas. People will hot glue the edges of the boards together on all 4 edges. Some people will use double sided tape. And my favorite is to tape all sides with blue painters tape and then I take a blank sheet of paper the size of my blanks and spray adhesive on both sides of the paper and sandwich that between layers. The advantage of this is that no matter how I cut the piece out it is stuck to the one underneath it. There are times if you do not do this, as you are cutting and turning the piece they move around within the kerf of the cuts and if you happen to move them there will be some imperfections in them. Just an opinion. By the way welcome to the site.

    Well the photos are up and to me exactness is not a priority for a project like this. But again not knowing your tool range and your abilities it is hard to suggest the best way to do this. So I will say this to keep the shape all the same it would be best to make a a whole unit and then slice the layers off using a bandsaw.. Jim gave you a good pattern. You drill the hole through the entire piece at once. If you had a drum sander you can take the pieces and tape to a carrier board and sand them all flat together. Flip over and do other side. Or start out with a flat board and individually cut the pattern Jim provided for each layer and drill using a brad point bit dead center on pattern.
  15. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    You can use Steve Good's set up too if plunge drilling is needed.
  16. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Center of a cirle why not make a dot put the point of compass on it and draw the circle to whatever size you want. Without photos that is alot of reading and not being able to follow. Do not know your woodworking skils and tools either sothis will be tough.
  17. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    I like that project. Looks good. Nice job.
  18. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    I suggest you make overlays. This way you make the urn the size you need to and do all the detail work. Then have a pattern made if you do not have one and size it to fit weather all 4 sides or just the top. Make it from thin woods, acrylics, or other materials. You could paint it if you choose.
  19. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Sure does look like a knockoff. Wonder how they get away with that. Same wrench and everything.
  20. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    I use these type staplers for the backshttp://www.stapleheadquarters.com/picture_frame_staplers I use one that shoots points not nails.

    I use Satellite CA. I do not use the accelerator but if need be I use their recommended product. Not all CA glues are the same as well as not all accelerators are the same. Some people are allergic to the stuff so be aware of this if using use it in a well ventilated area. They sell odorless and they sell flexible CA depending on what you use it for. In pen turning world we use it a s a finish top coat on pens because it is strong durable and takes a shine well. Do not store the CA near the accelerator and as mentioned do not spray it where the bottle is. The tap trick works. If you keep in a cool dry place no need to put in fridge unless you do not use for a long time. Wipe tip before putting cap back on. They sell those tipp caps separately too. http://www.caglue.com

    There are so many of these saws out there and it was a good thing someone took the time to make a video to show the workings and the procedure to take apart to do a maintenance thing on those saws. You do not see this for other saws. Or at least I have not. Glad you got things working in top form again and you did not have any extra parts laying around. Hate when that happens.
  23. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Well then if it works for you then keep doing it. I have never oiled mine.
  24. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    Sure seems like that notch would weaken the blades. Not liking that design. Maybe they are redesigning and that is why they are not available and what is available is older stock left on the shelves.
  25. JTTHECLOCKMAN
    And that is why there is no maintenance on the saw except what Kevin mentioned. Not many people will even know how to take the bearings off. If you could and it seems you were able to then grease is the best way. If you add oils then you flush the grease out or contaminate it and make it less useful. . They are not made to be oiled. What each saw uses I have no idea. Probably the lower end saws use cheaper bearings and they need oiling. Have no idea. But the Hegner and RBI do not. The Dewalt is explained in the video. But again to do the maintenance you need to do the bearings must be removed. Those bearings in the upper arm are low stress bearings because they do not spin.
