    I've never done in-any work before and have a question for those of you that have. I would like to use 1/4" walnut (dove) into 1/4" maple (cross). What size/type blade should I use? thanks
  2. Gonzo
    Definitely on the to do list. Hopefully this weekend. Thanks for sharing.
  3. Gonzo
    That is really cool.

    I agree with Marg, Bulldogs are my favorite also.

    The clocks are awesome. But what really caught my eye were the dulcimers hanging in the background. Growing up in St Paul, we had a neighbor who made violins. When it was nice out, he hung his violins on the clothesline after applying a coat of varnish. Whenever, I smell that smell, it reminds me of Mr Kujawa. Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack your thread, but as I said, it brought back memories, and warmed me up on this very cold morning. Thank you Hineps!

    Very nice! Shelf liner is the cats meow, isn't it.

    It's Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean.

    Pattern by blights69. Thanks Frank! It was a lot of fun to make. I was smiling the whole time I was making this. One of my all time favorite movie characters. Same goes for the quote. Thanks again.

    I whole heartedly agree. I used to visit a popular model railroading forum and many times people would flame (if that's the word) each other. It got to the point to where I no longer go there. I've been a member of this forum for over a year or two and I visit it about every other day. In this time I have not read where anyone has been mean to others. Yes, there are disagreements, but to me, when there have been, it has been respectful. And to that, I say thank you to all of you! Gonzo

    WOW!

    Very nice! Looks like there are a few spots where you would hold your breath hoping you were cutting into scrap wood and not the pattern.

    That is cool!

    I'm in agreement with Dave

    Hi Frank,

    Whats the chance of you sending me the Captain Jack pattern that you made?  I cannot find it in the library. And if I try to print it off your post, it's tiny.

    The one that says,"Why is the rum always gone?"

    Thanks,

    Gonzo

    Good morning Jim,

    i saw on Lumberjocks last week that you mentioned that you use your 3" pneumatic drum sander in your drill press. I inherited one from my Dad that he used between centers on his lathe. 

    Is there a chance that you could send me a picture or two of how you mount yours in your drill press?

    Thanks

    Maat

    I don't think we can say "WOW" enough to those. Very impressive!
  19. Gonzo
    That is awesome. And I like them both but I like the black just a smidge more

    I have enjoyed making the one Scrappile talks about, and also the two that Doug referenced. All three were a lot of fun to make.

    I also use the shelf liner. Much easier to use than tape. If you have a Menards in your area, it is cheaper than Walmart. Even cheaper with 11% sales that they always have.

    I make them similar to a sanding mop. I cut the pads into small, medium, and large circles. Drill a 1/4 hole through center of each one. Put a nut and fender washer on a piece of threaded rod. Assemble scotchbrite circles on to rod forming a "ball". Add another fence washer and nut there ya have a sanding ball. I use the white scotchbrite. These are easier and quicker to make than a sanding mop. Come to think of it, heck, cut the scotchbrite into squares. Take a scissors and cut 1/2" deep every 1/4" or so. This would be even quicker and no waste! I'm going to give that a try!!! Hope that helps

    Nice job Pete. I really like the chipmunk!

    Sanding mops are very easy to make. There are a few good YouTube videos on it. I use my dull scroll saw blades to cut the sandpaper. Also, I have made the scotchbrite sanding balls that you can find at Rockler or Woodcraft. These are even easier and quicker to make. Even less expensive then making sanding mops. Different colored scotchbrite pads = different "grit".

    whenever I am doing a compound cut, I am always using a Pegas MG #5.
