  1. Beautiful work. How wide is it front wheel to back?
  2. Amazing work
  3. Very very nice
  4. I figure if you plumbed a water heater through a pump, and had circulating how water in the lines and some car radiators, you don't need the fans. You could turn the pump on and off with a simple on the wall thermostat like in the house. With water circulating it is being cooled, when not circulating the hot water heater thermostat would stop heating the water and hold it ready just like it does now.
  5. Yeppers, I messed that one up. The thermostat is a value, and the measurement of water temp I was referring to, typically opens around 180*F, allows the cooler radiator water to mix with the engine water. The temp gauge is usually about midway on the block (front to back) and runs the gauge on the dash. Mea culpa, one day I will get the brain and the fingers to work together well.
  6. when the car gets hot.. they kick on to cool the car engine. Technically, since I just got back from PT and am feeling onery, the water gets hot, and the fan cools the water in the radiator, the thermostat measures the water temperature.
  7. That! is very nice
  8. I lived with radiators a lot of years, learned to hate them, seems no matter how hot the water is it just does not do much more than heat the immediate, and I mean immediate area. Even with tin foil on the wall behind it that was little help. But, a friend did that with several radiators (the old copper kind) daisy chained around his garage, that worked fairly well. Your mentioning radiator reminded me of his his set up.

  10. Kevin when you get back to cutting, cut this for your shop
  11. there are some in the pattern library https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/search/?q=ship&type=gallery_image&nodes=19
  12. This is one of many on the net on how to do it
  13. That came out really well, does not look like practice to me, finished product is what it is
  14. Glad to hear it all worked out, stay on the meds and make the followup appointments - this is nothing to put off.
  15. Thanks to y'all for the kind words, I really appreciate them
  16. I have an old, very old Ryobi table saw that works for me, and it came with a router mount in the sliding side panel of the table. I know they sell a router table leaf extension for a lot of saws, something like what you see in these pics, or build the add on https://www.pinterest.com/pin/775252523325611588/ edit found one, https://www.amazon.com/Grizzly-T10222-Router-Extension-Table/dp/B006SJEG5W I have to agree with @oldhudson that B&W workmate is one of the most versatile, handiest things to have in any shop

    That came out great, who ever gets it will love it
  18. Beautiful, and I expect heavy based on the thickness of the back piece. What wood is the back piece?
  19. Bill I think it is the material its made from, the ex clamps are cast aluminum and the jaws can stretch apart pretty easily over time, pegas is machined aluminum, I forget the type of aluminum, but far sturdier than cast aluminum
  20. nice cutting
  21. Making rectangular boxes, so ...
  22. I do a google search, for say oil rig silhouette, the word silhouette is important or you get all kinds of drawings and pics have inkscape open, right click on the silhouette you want and select copy, in inkscape right click select paste and say yes to the prompt then use path menu, trace bitmap, set the stroke and fill to the color of you choice, resize and position
  23. interesting, thanks
  24. So after seeing the state of MI that @Nickel Falls did in this thread I went to his reference at scrolleronline.com I was all set to buy the Texas pattern, but it did not trip my trigger at all, so I fired up inkscape
  25. Congrats Tammi, well done
