Dynamic! Splendid cutting on a difficult project. Well cut and presented.
-
Thanks for the web site and pdf. Interesting web site!
-
Actually the device is made for drilling. It's just that Dremel does not know it.
-
Beautiful job on that Fat Boy! My friend Mike rides one.

I love my Dremel router and drill all my pattern holes with it. There was a minor annoyance however. The knob on the right which can be used to lock the Dremel tool itself in position would always back out and I would keep screwing it back in. I solved the problem with a jam nut between the router and the knob. Perhaps this has not been a problem for others but I just throw out the suggestion. The nut should perhaps not be called a jam nut as it just prevents the knob from tightening and locking. A washer may do the same thing.

Every year the first week in June it was up to the land of Flintabitty Flonatin. (Sp?) then up to Cranberry Portage. Those were wonderful days. You are close to God's country!

Just ordered the saw rails. UHMW (like nylon I guess) $15.99 w/delivery May 5. Looks like I'll be in business soon!
-
Heli-coils, wonderful things. Used them on lots of things. Usually stronger than the original threads.
-
That is what I'll make. I will buy the table rails on line or from Woodcraft. I can't make them accurate enough. I will make so few frames that I can't justify a miter saw. Doesn't mean I don't want one though. If I knew what the rails were called I'd look on flea bay. Your jig looks great.
-
Yep Ray, you found it. Less than $25 including tax. Wonderful bargain and so well made. You will like it!

Checked HD, Lowes and HF for miter saws. I'm hesitant right now. Making a sled may make the most sense and take the least space. Thanks for all the suggestions. I don't see myself making very many frames. For 8X10 I have several WallyWorld frames. I don't sell anything so most things are give away.
-
Thanks for the suggestion. I just took a look but nothing that small. Lots of Makita saws. Mostly professional grade equipment.

I'm looking for a 7-1/4" miter saw. I do not want a 10 or 12" saw. I don't want a sliding saw. I want a small simple saw that will allow me to just cut wood for picture framing. Is anyone using one and how do you like it? There are several on the market. A HF for $99 less 20%. Kobalt and Ryobi ar $129. Anyone use any of these? I had a 10" Ryobi a few years ago and gave it away as I was not using it. Now I need a small one.
-
I think I'll do that, just finish it and give it to him as is. Since I made the first one everyone wants one. They are freebies made from poplar from an old chest of drawers.

My first lamp needed a bit of tape to keep it from flopping down. Was not a problem since I did not use the lens. This lamp has a lid that is much stiffer and works well. I put the lid down when not in use to keep off dust.

Very nice Barb. I've never cut that type of puzzle. Now is not the time to scroll. Now is the time to get out on Lake of the Woods! Ice should be leaving and the walleyes hungry.

You have done very well. It is beautiful!

Well the magnification dilemma ended this morning. My $25 1.25X mag light arrived this morning. I was not expecting much and was very pleasantly surprised. The lamp is very well constructed although the lid reminds me pf a toilet cover. It dropped into the old mounting and was plugged in. It is LED and the light appears a little more bluish than the the other lamp bit is pleasant. The focal length is ideal. I now sit upright which is a delight. The glass optic is 5" diameter and the focus is very crisp. I did find that it was much sharper when I did not wear my reading glasses. Also, when wearing magnifiers It was necessary to look over or under them when looking at something else. This gives me complete vision freedom. My back appreciates it.

What's wrong with this picture? Haste makes waste! Just want to quickly do this before going inside. Routed the wrong side. Duh!

I don't have a Hegner but my Hawk is on wheels and does not vibrate.

I once had an old Ford Econoline van which I called Captain America. It was an old beater I drove to work. I have a friend that is restoring a Vanagon pickup. Nice cutting!
-
Wonderful as usual!
-
Lots of info out there. I should have done due diligence before jumping into something I was not familiar about.
-
Wow, great cutting!
