  1. Try 3M45. It might not be as sticky. Also, use 1/10 th the amount you think you need.
  2. Clamp it to the picnic bench. They're plenty heavy.
  3. One of my favorite movies.
  4. That one is on my list. Patterns printed. You did a great job.
  5. Much appreciated. Thanks. Time for some research I guess. Always something.
  6. How long does it take to set it up and do all the adjusting? I've never used one so any info is appreciated. I might want one if that's the case.
  7. And both very well done.
  8. I have a Dewalt 12" compound and it's heavy. If I buy the Ridgid, I'm going to get the matching stand and it will be in one spot but easily moved.
  9. Now that I think back, when I brought my 226 Ultra home it had an oxidized table. I used my ROS sander with 220 paper to clean it up. Then I hit it with a couple coats of Johnson's. No more oxidation.
  10. When I had mine I just kept it clean & waxed.
  11. I envy you folks who have the space for lasers & CNC machines etc.
  12. This is the saw I'm waiting for a deal on. I hope it goes on sale at some point. I like the fact that it can go up against the wall and not stick way out.
  13. Great story John and you did a great job of "restoring" somebody's work of art. Were you ever able to connect with original maker/builder?
  14. When we went full-time RVing I had to have a hobby. So I got into carving after running into the Texas Woodcarver's Guild in Fredricksburg. Then I thought if I had a scroll saw I could cut out my own blanks. The rest is history. I haven't carved in 3 or 4 years. Both are great pastimes though.
  15. I have always loved Poe. He did some really neat stuff. A very nice job there Frank.
  16. We stayed at a couple of very nice RV resorts in Michigan. Loved it there. Stay well and have fun.
  17. Where? Looks nice but not at 100 degrees. I'll bet it's humid too.
  18. I have a Colwood burner with plug-in tips so I don't think it will work but I might contact them anyway. Thanks.
  19. Frank, I try to cut all the circles outside the cut line and then clean them up on a disc sander. Then it's just a matter of gluing them together. The actually bottom piece I did a router cut on the outer edge and bored a hole through it using a Forstner bit. The piece on top of it was a plain piece that was similar to the top piece but I cut a hole in it to accommodate the diameter of the candle. The actual top piece has a hole a bit bigger. It was supposed to be for a but vase but I have no idea where you'd buy bud vases that size and height. Anyway, I like the candles better.
  20. Thanks Brenda, I'll have to give that a try.
  21. Wow! That's way more of an undertaking than I would attempt. You did a great job, Dick. It's beautiful! Did you use spiral blades or regular scroll blades? How many drill holes?
  22. Very well done, but so sad.
  23. Excellent!
  24. Very nice!
  25. All done on scroll saw, drill press and router.
