I have a Hegner but I don't know what it is you are referring to. Is it the same as the rotating tip on the DeWalt? R

Kevin, I see that you and most others seem to cut counter clockwise. Is there any particular reason for that? I'm left handed but do many things right handed. I haven't developed any particular direction yet. I know when doing inlay or marquetry that direction of cut is important but what about just cutting in general? Is it just what each individual figures out for themselves? R

Thanks for the pics. I was misinterpreting your first description when you said "rotate". I thought you meant that you were rotating a 1/4 turn and then running another strip of tape. I see now what you were saying. A picture is worth a thousand words when it comes to me being "dense". I totally understand your process now. R

I never get bored reading all of your stuff. Any of you that is. I am addicted to this darned forum. I can't get anything done. Especially if it's the least bit cool/cold outdoors. I'm a wimp. R

At our age, we are allowed to screw up. I do it on an hourly basis. R

Try as I might, I read and re-read your description of how you tape the blanks together. You might do a step by step of your taping in pics so as to make it more understandable. I know once I SEE it, I'll understand the written description. Thanks for your posting so far. I like finding out how others do things. Especially those who have experience. Ray

"rocking horse pooh"? I love that. R

Yes, I did. I must have glanced at your original posting and then "spaced" out. Old age is rapidly catching up with me.I was, once again, just adding my .02 cents worth. When we wanted a folding card table, I had a heck of a time finding one. I had seen it so I knew it was made. I even went to the Lifetime site and they didn't seem to have it. Then, I came upon it while in Camping World and the price was the best part. So, I snatched one up.

I would think that being from Pleasant Hill, Mo. would give some idea of age too. When were they located there?

Beautiful clocks. Your work is first class. Thanks for posting.

DG, I was just throwing the suggestion out there. "Costco?" as a place for Dave to look. Ray

This is a small one but it looks to be in pretty good shape. Price is right. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/tls/d/hawk-rbscroll-saw-with-foot/6501641750.html Ray

There are many here in Orange Co. California that is. We go there at least once a week if for no other reason than to "graze" the food samples. We did buy a folding card table that is square at Camping World and the price was great. The brand is Lifetime. If you google that brand, you'll find their website and I'm sure they can tell you who in your area sells what you are looking for. Ray

Costco?

Mineral spirits.

Another idea would be to purchase a cheapie cordless drill and put together some sort of a drill press contraption. You can lock the trigger in the on position on most of them if I am thinking correctly. Anyway, it might do what you want it to do. Ray

The quill lock is a feature that I miss greatly. I won't make that mistake again. Ray
-
On the subject of a dedicated drill for pilot holes, there are many ways to build some sort of Dremel drill press that would be far cheaper than the Seyco unit. I was just looking at youtube the other day at how a guy made one. Check it out. Ray

Kevin, I have found that the H/F drill presses seem to be very highly recommended. I have no personal experience with them but I have been toying with replacing the small Delta unit that I bought off of eBay a few years back. It's major downfall is not having a crank up table. Not a big thing but still......Anyway, for the price, the H/F presses deserve some looking at. Oh, one other thing that I feel is important is the ability to be able to lock the quill in any position. My Delta won't do that and I miss that feature from my old press. It's nice to be able to bring the quill down to a certain point and lock it down at that setting. Ray
-
Yes. I recall having one once upon a time too. Har! Har! Ray
-
I know this might be a naive question but wouldn't the seller be able to tell you what they sent you? Do all wood sellers just send you a bunch of unidentified wood? My first suggestion would be to contact whoever you purchased from and ask them. Just sayin................ Ray

Looking again for help GOT IT NO LONGER NEED HELP

Just curious. Do you want a stocker or a street rod? I just did a google/images and found tons of photos. Not too many that give a straight on full side pic though. Ray -
Sage advice here. Thanks JT.

I don't see you as a "mechanical putz" if you successfully disassembled and the re-assembled your saw. That's quite a feat for someone with little knowledge of what they were getting into. I did the same with mine and I fixed most of what was wrong with it. But, I kept messing with it until I had it to what I called "satisfactory" running. It's not perfect but I can live with it. What I did find though, if it isn't securely anchored it will vibrate at some point in it's range of rpm settings. I built a very heavy stand for mine out of 4 x 4 lumber and it still vibrated. I found that if I pushed down very hard on the stand the vibration went away. So, I bought some of the H/F floor padding and it now sits on that and is vibration/noise free. Just keep moving forward and you will get it back to what you remember when it was new. Ray

Well, I wish I could be of help but unfortunately I can't. Good luck. Ray
