    some one mentioned the 3 jaw chuck for the Dremel. I have one and I decided to try it in the plung router. I had to take it off the dremel so it would work I did this and mounted it in the router and It wouldn't close ddd on a drillof any size. This is an older plung router and all blut I don't thik they changed it they stilllook the same. Buyer be ware.\IKE

    I have been homesetting my wife for the past 2 years.In the summer time I can go out to the shop for a hour or so about 30 min. at t time so this winter i set my back up saw in a spare bedroom with a vac set up to keep the dust down. I don't get much done but it helps my nerves a lot. and my wife is not neglected .When i need wood I get my sister in law to set with her for 2 or 3 hours so I get plenty of wood at a time. I have kept my sanity this way.. IKE

    I guess I do things the easiest way. When I start cutting I marked down the time When I finish I mark down the time. Now for the sanding applying the pattern tacking off the pattern and spraying the part with liquor it takes 8 minuets no matter how large the part is but 8 minutes is the average time. If the run time is 30 minutes that takes it to 38 minutes . I charge 40 cents per minute which will bring it up to $25 per hour.. I just go to shows I enjoy the people I get to talk to and do not charge for this time. I have been doing this for 55 - 60 years and it has worked fine ever since the start I just change the 40 cents every once in a while to keep up with the times. I am 82 now and plan to keep doing this till I am 90. I have seen some big improvements in all those years I ;am hoping for 90 years . IKE

    I am down to several pieces of scrap 1/4 &1/8 BB might get some ornaments off it but will have to buy more , I through my change into a coffee can every night to buy BB ply with so I may have enough for a couple sheets. This is what I call my slush fund. from old Navy days. You can't even find cheep ply at HD any more it seems like BB ply is cheaper. No matter what I will keep on scrolling I have a goal to meet Scroll till I am ninety 8 years to go. IKE

    happy new year hope this year will be better than the last one . hoping for more sales I can attend. I only had one I could attend made almost $500 at it and the other one was a church salee I couldn't go because of my cancer but the church took my wares they sold them at no table charge . they sold $345. those church ladies are great.. I was a seller at the first one they had and had never missed one. That was a total of $845 enough to buy a new saw.. HAPPY NEW YEAR IKE

    I have bought 1/16 from Amazon it was a little more expensive than 18 and it was bass wood. which in your case that wouldn't make any difference. It came i 10 X 18 sheets IKE

    I had a problem that the blades wouldn't cut the same as they use to. I checked out my set up it looked good so ci then checked my excel and founded the the upper arm was not level with the table I straighten it out and the blades began to run fine again .It didn't make any since to me but it did help. It has something do do with the blade tension IKE.
