Well, we are down to one car now so I can move some of my stuff out onto the driveway and have much more space to work in but it is windy have a lot so I have to do most of what I do in the morning. Ray- 156 replies

I just got rid of a ton of old American Rifleman and Gold Prospector magazines at our local library. I took the time to cut off the address label and they were happy to get them. I won't let go of my woodworking mags though. They will go in the ground with me. Ray

Believe me Les, we have had this conversation many times. Now, after 49 years of wedded bliss, we just take turns being right. Or wrong. Whatever. Ray

My Dad taught me to make gaskets using a small ball peen hammer. I would never have thought to use the scroll saw. Very good idea. Much easier and cleaner than the hammer method. Ray

Brad, I built the one that I just posted the plans for. It is very heavy, very solid and I put carpet feet under the 3 legs. No vibration at all. I love it and I'm thinking very much about building the same thing for my Heg. Ray

Les, is this the one you are talking about? If so, I took these plans and reversed them so the single leg is in the front and I can straddle it. Ray kennethstand.pdf

I totally agree with what you say. I have my Dewalt pretty much dust free now by building my dust collection system. But, I also use a 20" box fan to the right side of it with two furnace filters in front of it. It pulls from the right side and the vacuum pulls from the top and bottom. I think I'm capturing about 95-99% of the dust. But, I still wear a dust mask after having a very bad reaction to cutting some very cheap luan plywood. It almost caused me to quit scrolling. Ray

This is excellent. I hope to make something as nice as this for my Heg. Thanks for posting this pic. Ray

Old joke. When I got married, I sold my set of Brittanica encyclopedias. I found that my new wife new everything. Ha! Ray

It makes one wonder if maybe the seller also go ripped off. Bait and switch? Ray

Beautiful stuff Rolf. You are the "Master". Ray

I hope you still have Grandpa's bench. What a treasure to have. Ray

Oh you poor thing. I'm so sorry to hear that. I thought most everybody here was old and retired like me. I turn 75 on Thursday. 3/4 of the way home. Ray And, I'd love a cold beer. Or whatever else is being poured.

This always happens to me. I write something only to find out my question has been answered. Thanks though. By the way, did you see my comment to you earlier today? Ray

Would you be able to use a square on a Kindle Fire or an iPad? I''m curious too. Ray

Any worries about trademarks on the Eagles stuff or are you designing everything yourself? Ray

Have any of you folks ever watched any of the videos made by Matthias Wandel? He makes woodworking equipment out of wood and does very nice work. Along with being an engineering genius. His folks had some cabins on a lake up in Canada that he has inherited and he is fixing them all up to use as guest cabins. He made some unique wooden latches for them. Do a search on youtube for his name and also his website. Very interesting. Here is his website. https://woodgears.ca/ Ray

That's very interesting Kevin. Why do you suppose the stand with the plywood made for vibration? Was the wood too flexible or not heavy enough? My Dewalt saw came on an original tubular steel stand. It was what they made prior to the sheet metal stands that are available now. Anyway, I tried using that stand. I added a plywood top to it but it didn't seem to make any difference. I hated having to stand to use it and my stool isn't comfortable enough to sit on it for long periods. So, I ended up building a very heavy wood stand for it that I can sit at using an old office chair. No more vibration. Ray

Dan, we live close enough to each other that at some point in time, we should get together for coffee and get acquainted. I'd love to see some of your work and basically just get to know you. Ray

John T. did you notice where he is from? Maybe not as easy in England. Ray
