I love a clean shop but never seem to have one. I try to force myself to do it after every major job. I remember in shop class so many years ago the teacher would stop work 10 minutes early and everyone had to grab a broom. I hated it then but understand it now. What I have learned along the way is the the hardest part of cleaning (or anything for that matter) is simply getting started. Once started it's hard to stop,

I would not paint the inside BUT I would attach a large washer either inside or outside of the opening. Birds require a certain size opening if it's too big they woun't use the house. What you will find is that squirrls or other birds will chew away the opening and ruin the house.

I'll try something like that, and I do have the lid help down with bungee starps. Thanks

If you find it isn't working for you try a jig saw, a good one will cut fast and true and being corded won't run out of power in the middle of a cut. Other than drill's I haven't had a lot of luck with cordless tools.

Do you get saw dust coming out of the garbage can when the planer is blowing it in? I have the same planer and it makes a mess every time I use it.

Yeah but everyone is just dying to get that wood.

That's really a good idea who would have thought of making doll furniture. Yours looks very professional.

It shouldn't be your browser it woud be yor email. Yahoo allows you to send large attachments http://www.worldstart.com/how-to-send-large-email-attachments-with-yahoo-mail/ If you haven't tried Firefox as your browser give it a try it has a lot of nice features and is safer.

As a newbe I'm curious, whouldn't just making a photo copy of the finished piece be the same thing?

I watched every video and read every review I could find and settled on the Excalibur EX 21. It was a toss up between the Dewalt and the EX 21. Because of the blade changing arrangement of the Hegner I did not think it was for me. I got rid of my other saw because of the balde changing system. It was so bad that I never used the saw .I didn't go with the Dewalt because of problems that I had read about as well as you had to buy or make something to hold the saw up while changing the blade.

You might want to look into an air handler this is exactly the problem that they are designed for. The box fan idea is a very good suggestion however since it is much less expensive and will do the same thing only not as well.

After reading about Ducky's accident it got me to thinking of a few close calls that I have had and wonder what others have suffered through. My most memorable but not the worst was when I was sanding a thin piece of wood on a stationary belt sander. The wood got so thin that it slid under the stop taking my fingers with it. My finger got jammed and the 60 grit paper proceeded to sand my fingers down. When they were sanded to a thickness less than the opening under the stop I was able to pull them out. A trip to the emergency room ensued.

Looks great!

Been there done that doesn't work. You could do it with soild wood or maybe even Italian bending plywood but not BB. Try putting a strip in your oven and give it a try but 90 degrees is asking a lot.
