    Hey, I'm almost famous! Why did my name pop up?
  2. OCtoolguy
    Thanks for doing the due diligence on this subject. I don't dispute that you are more than likely correct but I was wondering if you went to a library and checked out the magazine and it still had all the patterns inside of it, would that not be the same thing? I'm not arguing, just trying to get the whole thing clear in my mind. I don't mind buying the magazine but if I already had it and let a friend borrow it, what would happen if he made a copy for his own use. Not to sell but to just use.
  3. OCtoolguy
    If it was offered in one of their magazines, wouldn't it be public domain? I would think if someone here has the pattern, they could share it with anyone. Am I wrong?
  4. OCtoolguy
    Those look great. I might have to make them be one of my next projects. Where can I get the pattern?

    Well, something came up and I wasn't able to get up to pick it up. I contacted the seller the best way I had but so far he hasn't responded. I think he's pissed at me and thinks I'm a flake. But, family does come first and it was a life threatening situation that had to be taken care of. I have emailed the seller twice but he isn't replying so I have to assume that it's not going to happen. But, I have a saying that everything happens for a reason so maybe I dodged a bullet. Who knows? Oh well................

    Congrats Dave. You're gonna love it.

    I think it was listed as a large and they didn't have any XL. I bought it hoping it would fit but I'm not happy with it. The one I posted the link to above fits much better, has a device that fits the back of my head so it stays in place. I can pull it down a bit on my nose so my glasses rest on top of it. I have a "fatty" face so I have a bit of a problem getting a mask that fits well. I am very happy with the one I have now. The first one, well, it just didn't work the way I had hoped.

    Great advice Charley.

    I just cut some mahogany in 3/4 x 1 1/2 and I used Pegas #5 mgt. I love these blades. They seem to be good for most anything so far. But, I'm a newbie so take it for what it's worth. I had to cut 8 of the same thing in compound 3-D cuts. Here is what I was cutting.

    At the time, the only size offered was the one I bought. I think it was a medium.

    Well, there ya have it. The experts have spoken. Disregard my comment on epoxy. I was just a suggestion. I have no experience.
  12. OCtoolguy
    I know you didn't mention that you have any but would a two-part epoxy work the best.?
  13. OCtoolguy
    I bought that same mask but I found that it is too small for my fat face. I have a nice new one if anybody wants it.
  14. OCtoolguy
    So sorry for your misfortune. I hope you are able to save it.
  15. OCtoolguy
    You are a wise man. And you won't be sorry. Starting out with an inferior product of any kind is enough to frustrate you into not enjoying what you are doing and you might up and quit. You won't regret buying either the Delta or the Dewalt. Money well spent.

    Dave, I'm going to be driving about as far tomorrow to buy a Hegner and in California traffic. That saw looks like a great one but I think the price might be a bit high. I bought my 21 for $300 and it came with a foot switch and a whole bunch of blades. A lot of them were the pricey ones from PS Woods too. I'd try to dicker the price a bit before driving all that way. And to answer your original question, yes you can top or bottom feed that saw because of it's arm height when raised.

    I probably won't ask for one. I'll just cruise the aisles and see if one jumps out. Maybe I'll look for one on C/L too. Well, up jumped the devil. Here is a link to a youtube video and there are many.

    My wife sent me to the dollar store for a package of them.

    I bought this mask on Amazon and these two filters. I use it whenever I am cutting but I'm going to start wearing it when sanding also. It makes a very big difference in my breathing through my nose afterward. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IF7RCU6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00328IAO0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Great advice Brad. Here where I live, everything that is recyclable gets recycled so finding scraps of anything is nye impossible.
  21. OCtoolguy
    Brad, I might be way off base but I think Les was pulling your leg on that "welding" comment. That's all I meant. If I'm wrong, I most humbly apologize. Sometimes we all say things here in print that doesn't come off the way they are intended. I'm terribly bad at doing that. I too have a weird sense of humor.
  22. OCtoolguy
    JT, you humble me. Great work. And all the subjects will find a home somewhere I'm sure. Really nice work.
  23. OCtoolguy
    It seems to me that a degree of jocularity has been issued and missed here guys. I don't know Les personally but I have come to recognize his sense of humor.

    Ok, I am trying to do all the things that have already been mentioned. I was thinking of buying a few sizes of very small dowel wood and use pieces of those with sandpaper wrapped around them. Another idea has found it's way into my thick skull. Have any of you ever paid any attention to the rechargeable toothbrushes that are out there? I was brushing my teeth a while back and the idea struck me that if you were to take an old one and fashion the brush end somewhat to hold an abrasive medium to it, it might be just the ticket to getting into nooks and crannies with a gentle approach. I'm in the process right now of making something that has a lot of twists and turns that need to been cleaned up so I have been thinking on the solution. I'm going to start hitting the Goodwill/thrift stores and see if I can find a used toothbrush.

    I was too Rob. I am praying this one hasn't got the same issue. It was probably something that could have been solved by either a new controller or motor. Neither of which was in my budget. If this one has the same problem, I will have to chalk it out to my problem and not the saw. I will find out tomorrow.
