When I was around 13, my uncle asked me if I would like to come over and help him paint a car. I agreed and later found out he was using rattle cans and my "help" was to shake the cans. Wish I could remember how many cans it took but it was many. I don't remember if it came out OK or not. I'm guessing not.

Not exactly earth shattering but, I was in the middle of a delicate fretwork pattern on my DW788. I was using painters tape to support the cuts and lamenting the good old days (90's) with my little 15 inch Ryobi with its set up for zero clearance inserts. They came in like 3 packs and slid right into the recess under the blade. Then an idea popped up. I remembered I had a business card from a local plumber that was printed on a thin magnetic rectangle on my fridge. It's 4" x 4" and sticks perfectly to my saw table. I know this isn't genius but works like a champ! Thought I'd pass it on.

Potential Goldmine of cool projects (Nasa)

After viewing some of your projects, I bet you had a grin from ear to ear when you found that site. -
Blades are cheap so why not? My stepfather use to put a flat blade in with the teeth pointed up to cut plastic. Never saw him do it, just noticed he blade was clamped that way and told him about it. He said he did it purposely. Maybe he just wanted to sound like it wasn't a mistake. lol

Are you a believer that things happen in 3's? Probably just an old wives tale... Stay alert!

I worked with a guy who had a cap on his front tooth fall out. He decided it would be a good fix to use CA to glue it back in until he could get in to the dentist. Worked like a charm except that not only did he firmly affix the cap but he also managed to glue his finger to the tooth. Had a time trying to fix that new problem.

Sounds like a perfect use for a dozuki saw. I had one that was so thin the kerf was less than .020 thick. It had a spine on the back and was great for dovetails. I need to replace it.

Mike Kissell. He played when Bud Grant was up there. 1949 or so. His wife was from Winnipeg and is in the Canadian women's fast pitch softball hall of fame. Like the movie League Of There Own. Both gone now.

Nice sign. I've been using marine spar varnish for dog patterns I put up at our dog park. Using spar varnish on poplar, is the only finish I've found that can withstand the 115 degree sun and the monsoon rains. Plus I really like the amber tone I get. My father-in-law played for the Blue Bombers. His wife was from Winnipeg.

Nice pieces. I used to get Australian rules football on my cable TV service, but they have discontinued it. Bummer. Now during the NFL off season, I have been watching a lot of Super Rugby games.

I agree with not replacing perfectly good parts but having only one saw, I don't want to tear it down, inspect, order and wait to receive parts. Luckily my saw is fairly new and doesn't need anything...yet. I think I will tear it down enough to properly lube everything.

I use shrink wrap for puzzles also. It can become borderline addictive. Kinda Zen like. It's amazing how tight and wrinkle free you can get it. lol

If all the needle bearings from Vxb need replacing, it's a chunk of change. Although once you're that far into it, you might as well do it right. Had the same problem with my car. Needed a motor mount. Went ahead and had all 3 done and then had the water pump and timing belt done as long as they were that far into it.
-
The Pegas clamps eliminated the need to replace the bearings?
-
Hmmmm, fasteddybearings. Wonder if he is affiliated with slipperyjoes Midnight auto supply. lol

Google will reveal all. Parts are readily available. The complete connecting rod assembly is $25 so a bearing should be cheap. Internal motor bearings and sleeves, if replaceable should be available also. You'll no doubt need to provide numbers from your specific saw to get the correct ones. Good luck.

100% on the same page. Along time ago I stopped worrying about whether I make sense to other people. I have no need for a coffee table and I have several mirrors.
-
A really nice piece! I like the flat black and the glossy frame adds the perfect amount of contrast. Wouldn't change a thing.

Just ordered one from ebay, $3.03 plus .99 shipping. Also bought a mini micro pin vise and a set of bits for those times that I'm scrolling along and discover an undrilled hole. The kind that drill as you push and then usually breaks after a few uses. lol Well it is only $4.00, so worth a shot.
-
Yeah, the dreaded hockey stick. Once it kinks, you're on borrowed time. I tighten my bottom clamp, letting the blade rotate as it wants. I slowly tighten the top clamp and can feel when it wants to kink. If it doesn't feel right, I reposition it until it is right.

Welcome to the dark side. I use spirals almost exclusively. Thin, thick, ply, solid, fretwork, puzzles. Anything.

The Kokopelli would make it very popular here in the Old Pueblo!
-
Very nice! Especially the rose. They are the type of things that when I see them, I'd like to touch them. Some things are for the eyes only.
-
Beautiful piece! Certainly looks like more than 215 cuts to me. And using Pegas #3R Reverse Skip blades. That's a lot of turning. Did you do some breath holding when removing your pattern?
