  1. That is funny you mentioned that My Wen air cleaner got here today.I will use that in the center of the shop.And a box fan with house filter next to the scroll saws.Plus the shop Vac.I should be OK for closed door cutting for the winter.
  2. Ron do what I did.Bought an unbrella for the wife's car
  3. In what way Len.
  4. Here are a few Pens.My wife has a big display at work.I made a Steve Good Jewelry tree to display the Angels and one of the Ladies bought the tree for her ear rings. That is funny
  5. I can not believe with all of this technology Email,Texting,Social Media that Pens are in. I guess that if it is a one of a kind people have to have it.I made a bling Pen for my wife and she took it to work.It started from there. Between the Pens and the little Key Chain Angels.I think I have another full time job.Well not quite.I still give my little angels away at the Cancer treatment center. But my wife is selling them at her job.They love them She said that everybody wants a good Pen to hold at meetings.Me I always had a good Carpenters pencil to hold.
  6. Aha Festool Tracksaw.I just sold mine.A package deal 2 55" tracks and A Makita 118". Just did not use it anymore.Nice when I did use it.That is the first time I saw tape used.And I have been fighting clamps all this time.Thanks Dave 72 YO and I am still learning.
  7. I really can't compare it to any other.But it is quiet.no vibration.Wait it is not a scroll saw.But it seems to work ok.Pretty hefty I bought the Extension for it,Don't know why.Maybe I should have bought the VS. But doing Pens I only have to move the belt once.And that is up top, pretty easy to do.I am still in training
  8. I think I need to see somebody about my Pen addiction
  9. Legs really came out nice.I am not that far advanced. I am still learning.But I have no problems doing pens so far.
  10. I have been using C/A since the year it came on the market.I did a lot of Crown Moulding over the years. It was like hiring a helper.C/A loves raw would.That is where it shines.Anything else is a crap shoot.
  11. It looks like it should be hanging in independence hall
  12. I almost did it ,but I caught myself
  13. Outstanding. Thanks
  14. I keep ordering Kits.There are so many different sizes and shapes.I really never noticed that before.I thought pens and pencils were out with texting .But everybody likes one of a kind.
  15. You can not go wrong with Ocooch .I have had about 12 orders from them.Never had a bad piece of wood Wether it was BB or Hardwood.The shipping seems high.But they are in the ball park with the shipping
  16. I think it is time for a poll.
  17. I got the Rikon 70-100 from amazon.
  18. Got get back to my saw.It has been over a week. Ever since I got the lathe I am knee deep in Saw Dust and Pens.
  19. Yes Ebay Protects the Buyer.I sell a lot on Ebay.In the Last year I stopped Shipping everything.Come look at it before you Buy.I built a lot of high end Road Bicycles.Got beat once to often.I live in a Metropolitan area large Population.I have had People come down from as far as upstate New York to the Phila area. I have sold almost everything i listed without a problem.Most of the time it is cash.I even do good on CL.It is a shame it had to come to this.People always trying to make a score
  20. It is very little fine dust.Just enough to to bother me .I could let it go i guess.It is a Fein Vac.So i don't want it to work harder than needed
  21. Outstanding work.You should be very proud of that one.
  22. Thanks .That is great
  23. I have been using one for awhile.Like you Dave I got tired of the bags.Over a year now I have not used a bag .Now that I have been playing with a wood lathe I really make some chips.Just once in awhile blow off the dust on the vac filter.Very little dust accumulates .I do mine about once every couple of weeks.
  24. I understand what you are saying I am having health issues now .I don't know what I would do if i didn't have my shop.i just spent 1000.00 and finished my first pen.I practiced making making skinny wood out of fat wood for awhile.Talk about chips flying .And of course getting a wake up call with Catches.
  25. This is my first time on a lathe. But from what I understand with out sharp steel don't even turn on the Lathe.I have had my Tormek for quite awhile I have been sharpening all my own tools.But never a lathe chisel.Had to order a Jig for them.As you know nothing Tormek is cheap.I have every jig but that and the drill sharpener.I did buy the chisel jig .But will never buy that drill jig.Was checking out the CBN wheels. They are expensive but nice way to go. Do they last for awhile
