  1. Shouldn't your small pieces be in that jar the is in your system? I have a 5gal bucket under my dust deputy and have been able to find treasured little pieces in it, if it isn't a piece I can easily re-cut.
  2. Humm I just remembered, the last time I wore anything like that was on Oct 7, 1967! Last day of freedom.....
  3. Some very fun info there. Thanks
  4. Very well done, and all your patterns and cutting are. Even if a person doesn't alway use spiral blades, I think knowing how to use then is worth while just for cutting areas like the nose and ears. Don't want to start the spiral blade gantlet again, but they surely have their uses.
  5. Nice picture, you guys clean up pretty good.
  6. Are you talking about the clear plastic piece? On my Seyco and Excalibur I remove that and pointed a piece of PVC pipe on my dust collection to the opening. very little dust got past it. I also since I have left over cigar boxes from my cigar box guitar days, affix a cigar box under the table to collect any dust that gets by the DC. It also collect broken/warn out blades small scraps I toss in there as I scroll.
  7. There is a lot of really cool stuff being posted here!
  8. There is another video of this showing more on building the tiny parts. It is rather lengthy, I didn't sit through it all but it makes this even more amazing. Those working pistons are tiny and as are the gears. The young mans voice sounds just like the voice of the guy that has the woodgears.ca site. wonder if their brains are related.
  9. That is pretty darn awesome for sure!!
  10. Consider my mind blown!
  11. @preprius, please post a video when you complete it. I love his pieces, I know I would never finish one if I started it.
  12. I really noticed all that but didn't want to say anything to embarrass you This what they mean about don't point out your mistakes, not many notice. I would install the tail using a short piece of dowel to glue it on. The head, I cannot imagine anyone notice it.
  13. Just remembered a few more I did that have color:
  14. I have only done one real colorful project. A little birdhouse using an Alex Fox pattern:
  15. My wife would encourage it, let her know I still have some life in me. Told her the other day I never thought I would be married to a 76 year old woman, I think it was time to get a girlfriend,,, she said "good luck with that"!
  16. Thank you, I knew I read it somewhere on the internet, but I couldn't explain it.
  17. Think about it, what direction do the saw teeth point.. Easier to feed the blade up through a hole than down through. Down through you blade is trying to cut as it is pushed through the hole. I have never stood on my head to bottom feed. I raise the piece of wood, start the blade through the hole and then hold the blade at the top of the blade as lower the wood back to the table. Even when I had saws you could top feed from(Excalibur/Seyco) I found it easier to bottom feed. You raise the board at an angle up off the table. But I do not understand why you worry it, you have an Excalibur, top feed, if that works for you that is they way you should sail your boat, so something like that.
  18. Very cute, no matter how many I see I still smile each time. I need to make one fro my shop, have someone to talk to.
  19. I read about that somewhere, there is a magnet involved somewhere.
  20. Don't forget hay stacks, they can do it also. I also do the paper towel and hang them on the edge or the can until dry.
  21. beautiful wood very fitting for a beautiful picture.
  22. for a long time I did not worry the back...but I ashamed of my self and started finishing the back.
  23. very nice clock
  24. Check out a place like Ocooch. to see their sizes,,,most I see are 24" or 36" lengths. also check USPS, UPS and FeDex and see what lengths are afforable to ship.
  25. You really did yourself proud on that one.. Great job all the way around.
