There is some very neats item being shown here. Really puts me in the mood! Scrolled so much the past week that my thumb and forefinger on my right hand are real sore from holding and directing the cutting. I will vacuum and dust the house after Christmas. No one is coming anyway.
Saw this on pictures of @Rolf's dust collection set up. I decided to try it. In the past I have twisted the loc-line up and out of the way to move it out of the way to move the blade to another hole. That means when I want the sucker back in place I have to twist it down and fiddle with it to get it right where I want it. That wears out the loc-line and it is not cheap not fun to replace joints of it. With this union I just swing the sucker to the side out of the way and when I swing it back it is right where I want it. No fiddling. Now I am pondering on a way to do something similar for the blower side.... This took me less than 4 minutes 32 seconds to put in.
Thanks Rolf!
Okay @OCtoolguy, don't give then that look (confused) look. Think about it. They are twisted, you tension one and it unwinds a tiny bit. I've has to turn the tension knob a little some times to compensate. I have. And that's the truth!
I do not normally sell things. But on request I did sell 4 of these for $125 ea. One buyer said when he picked his up said $125 was not really enough and gave me another $10.
It this was for me, please feel free to message me anytime. If you are looking for info on making patterns... Not your guy.. I have never had the talent to master that. I cut out the black, leave the white on others talented patterns.
That is awesome to me. You did an awesome job! I am a huge Kokopelli fan. So much so when I was making cigar box guitars/ukuleles I make a my own design Kokopelli playing a Uke, sound hole piece.
Denny can you put an announce on your web site, artcraftersonline? I don't do Facebook, but no matter, I use your blades and will order whether I have a coupon or not.
There is double sided tape and then there is double sided tape. I have some I purchased to hold a piece of wood to a face plate when turning on a lathe. You could stick to cars together and one could pull the other. I have some double sided carpet tape that is not nearly as strong. I would not use either to hole a paper pattern on but the carpet tape would probably hold pieces of wood together for stack cutting.
My son asked if I could find a good pattern of Jimi Hendrix and scroll three one for himself and two to give to guitar friends. So I found this pattern by Charles Dearing. My son approved it. Stack cut 4- 1/8 thick" 16" tall x11" wide.
I can see why, very nice. That is some of the finest veining in the leafs I have see, Tell us how you did it. I cut them with a straight blade then go back over them with a spiral..
