Who posted the pic of this stool? I need some info
OCtoolguy posted a topic in General Scroll Sawing
Just within the last few days, somebody posted a picture of this stool from Amazon. I tried to find it but the search never seems to work for me. Anyway, if whoever is was would contact me or post on this thread, I'd appreciate it. I want to find out what saw they are using, their height etc. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004I3ZRQM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 -
I guess I'm going to have to start checking the posting dates on these threads. I did find my patterns if anybody is interested. So, here ya'll go.
-
I have that pattern. I don't remember where I got it but it was free. I'll find it on my computer and send it to you in PM.
-
Following that train of thought, I would need 3 benches. Where does it end?
-
Niiiiice! So, you are now a 3 saw kinda guy.
-
Go for it. Most of us here who have EX or Dewalts and have purchased them don't regret it. They are great. Make a good machine great or a great machine greater. Expensive but worth every penny. I have an EX and what little vibration it had went away.
-
It seems that in this hobby, there is always something else to buy. Now I have to buy some more mini drill chucks. Dang! Oh well....hello Amazon.

No top feeding on a Hegner Les. Unless you drill very large holes.
-
Hmmm 9 x 13 or 8 x 14 huh? It seems the same to me. 1 foot shorter but 1 foot wider.
-
Ok Paul, now show us the rest of your shop. I know there is more. I've seen it. You have got have at least twice what I have. I've got 9 x 13 and it is jammed.

Not to be a know-it-all but I find this sort of amusing. It's really so easy. I have no problem inserting a new blade in my EX. I just put it in the top clamp first. I lower the arm and guide the blade through the table hole and down to where it is in front of the blade clamp. I can feel the blade and it's not difficult to push it into the slot in the clamp. I might have to open the slot up a tad but it's not a big thing. I put the blade into the slot, pull down a bit and close the clamp. Now, I can release the top clamp and go on with my cutting. I don't understand why anybody would have to get down on their knees to do this. I don't think any of these folks are as proficient as they claim to be. JMHO!

The baskets that I have made and shown here are made up of 9 layers of 1/4" solid wood. Top/bottom are stack cut by themselves. Then I cut a stack of 3 and a stack of 4. I use #5 Pegas mgt blades and take my time. So, to answer your question, I guess 1 inch would be the max for me. I've not tried BB plywood yet so I can't comment on that. I've had good luck with poplar, red oak, maple and walnut. It might also depend on what saw you are using. My first attempt was on my Dewalt. Since then I've used my Hawk and my Ex21. All good.

I just use my phone.

Here's another one. I still think it's too expensive. https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/tls/d/corona-sand-flee-drum-sander/6939180359.html

Here is one that is for sale near me right now. This is a used one. Whew! A lot of money. https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/tls/d/irvine-sand-flee-18-portable-drum-sander/6941378133.html

Rolf, my Dad was the plumber. Not me. I'm not familiar with all the fittings. Is your swivel joint a simple PVC union? If not, can you explain what it is and how it works? Is the screw simply there to keep it together? I like the way your system is designed and I want to duplicate it on my Hawk. Thanks for the pics and any added information.
-
I can see where that would be a good use. So far, I haven't made boxes but in time I might. Maybe if you share your plans I'll make one.
-
I was wondering what/where you got that hose. I never can find anything like that when I need it. Luckily for me, I'm not on cpap.
-
Are you going to become a Hegner collector? I had an 18 but I think I would like to have a little one like yours. Unfortunately, they don't offer the quick release for it. Make sure you get a newer one that has that on it. It's an expensive addition.

Les, check C/L on a regular basis for a used Fein. I found mine about 2 years ago. I use it in my shop for my EX and also for just clean up. I gave $185 for it. I tried to get the price down but the guy knew what he had. It came with 16 feet of very nice flexible hose. I'm going to plumb my Hawk one of these days so I can use it there too. It's still noisy but way better than any of the shop vacs I've been around. I also built this for my outside vac. I hook it up to my table saw and my spindle sander. I'm going to make a router table to connect to also. Here is what I copied. I think I posted it once before.
-
I'm in the camp of why do I need one. I can see a drum sander but this thing is just a mechanized sanding block. I have a piece of Corian tile that was a cutout from our sink when the counter top was installed. It is very flat. And heavy. I use it with a full sheet of paper and it does pretty much what the SandFlee does. For a lot less money. I guess if someone gave me one, I might find it useful but at the price that even used ones are bringing, I'll never know.
-
My thoughts exactly.
-
There are 2 on c/l near me in So cal.
-
I just don't see the need.
