    Exactly as my mental picture. Thanks Charley.

    Paul, watch some youtube videos. The guy that did the one about the H/F $10 air brush has got a ton of them. Myself, I ordered the $40 set that he recommended and I'm going to use my 2.5 gal compressor until I feel that I need something else. I'm still waiting on my a.b. set. Should be here tomorrow. I have a feeling it will do everything I want it to do. I'm not an artist either but who knows what may come of this idea? Edit: Paul, here is a link to a video, not sure if I already posted this, but this is the kit that I will receive today. I got notified that it will be here for sure today. I don't see how you can go wrong on this one. Watch the video about it. Also, this guy has a ton of great info on lots of other stuff.

    Charley, in trying to picture your clamps are you saying that the plywood edges go up & down and 1" sides go east & west? When looking down you see the plies?

    I use a half face mask. I like it a lot.

    My first scroll saw was basically nothing more than a big transformer that created a vibration and the blade was stretched between 2 points on spring arm. Absolutely useless. And to think I traded a Benjamin pellet pistol for it. The worst deal I ever made.

    It seems like everything has gone up in price over the last 2 years. Hmmmmmmm!

    Very job of cutting. Thanks.

    He did a youtube on it.

    It all depends on the project. I don't do much flat work but when I do, I pre-sand prior to cutting. That eliminates most of the sanding later. What I make are projects that are made of pieces that require sanding after the cutting. So, I do a lot of sanding both by hand and with my Dremel 6300 sander. It's the one that has cutting blades and a sanding pad. I found a place to buy boxes of the velcro sanding paper so I use it a lot. My latest projects have been candle holders made up of top, bottom and 8 sides and it takes me a solid day to get them all sanded to my liking. I stop at 220 in most cases but sometimes I'll go to 400.

    Well, it's a pretty simple mechanism so maybe you can find the leak and fix it. Or can they order one in from the warehouse? I'd give customer service a call. I have done that before and they worked with me for parts on a compressor that I had. I'm speaking of the main customer service number, not the local store. Go online and look it up.

    I purchased a better hose for mine and also a bag of fittings from Amazon so that I could hook it all up to my compressor. I also have a quick connect fitting at the spray gun. So far, if I have the compressor regulator set at 30 p.s.i. it holds the air with no leaks. I also used teflon tape at all the connections. The sprayer itself has no leakage. If I were you, I'd take it back and exchange it. As for the $40 set, I am still waiting for it. The first one got cancelled as they damaged it in the process of packaging it for shipping and it was the last one in stock. They refunded my money and put it on back order. Now, I am waiting and it is supposed to show up today, tomorrow or Monday. Time will tell. I may not get around to testing it right away as I'm in the middle of a couple of projects and I just don't have room for everything at one time. I also bought a fold-up spray booth from Wagner. It's pretty cool.

    I use mostly Watco oil in natural color. I bought a gallon and keep it in a plastic tub with lid. I submerge my project and roll it around letting the oil soak in. I then hang it over the tub and let it drip dry. After about 10 minutes I do a good wipe down with a lint free rag. It then sits for at least 4 days to dry depending on weather. I sometimes spray a coat or 2 of Zinnser's shellac or a coat of Johnson's paste wax. Try to keep it simple. I'm not gifted enough to do any high gloss finishes. Yet!

    Very nice Joe. I'm going to try latex interior trim paint and thinning with distilled water. I bought some paint funnel/filters to make sure it's as clean as possible. I really like what you have done. It gives me hope.
  14. OCtoolguy
    Very nicely done.

    For those who tried Steve's clamps and didn't like them, maybe your springs are too weak. It requires stiff spring pressure to keep the clamps tight on the work.
  16. OCtoolguy
    Yes, for sure it will be clamped well. Thanks all.
  17. OCtoolguy
    Did you try to put 2 Rivs together with Bazooka gum? If that was you I hope you learned a lesson.
  18. OCtoolguy
    So it's ok as long as I take it slow? Thanks, Dan. I was hoping for that answer.
  19. OCtoolguy
    I made a simplified clamp like Steve's and it serves me well. I do have to tighten it every so often but I have done a ton of 3D with it.
  20. OCtoolguy
    I will save that supplier Kev. Thanks.

    I hate to do anything unsafely so I ask this question. I need to bore a 1.5 " hole in 3/4" cherry using a forstner bit. The speed chart online says not over 300 rpm. The slowest my dp will go is 620. What would you smart folks do? I want the hole straight so a hand drill is not an option.
  22. OCtoolguy
    True, I was just adding to the idea of using packing tape. I don't but many do. I use only the shelf liner and glue pattern to it. I have taped over when things start showing signs of weakening.
  23. OCtoolguy
    I've not tried this yet but after reading here, the thought came to me that it might also work like packing tape if you put a layer over the pattern as well. Not sure how cost effective it might be but just a thought.
  24. OCtoolguy
    As Paul said. I took the bolt out and put a dab of grease on it. These saws do require a bit of maintenance. Unlike the Hegners.

    I don't know. What do you look like? And how did you look 60 years ago.
