  1. Great cutting on all the projects.
  2. Absolutely unbelievable! Way above my pay scale.
  3. WOW! Beautiful. Lots of work there.
  4. Very nice looking sign.
  5. I like your yellow sign. Advertising works. The cross is exquisite. Where did you get that pattern? I to am interested. Don't think I'm capable of cutting it but I would try.
  6. Beautiful horse. I like the way it is self framed and the dark wood background.
  7. I agree with you John. However the little 2" Scotch Brite things are so very gentle and yet so effective. The 6" 220 grit mop is aggressive if not careful so I run it on my lathe at slower speed. I have been using the Penguin silver reverse blades. I find them wonderful. I have all of them 2/0 to #9. I have found the Pegas mg a bit more aggressive than I prefer.
  8. Kevin, you are not only amazing but clever too!
  9. That is so terrific. It looks great!
  10. I've been wanting to purchase a Klingspoor sander for some time and finally did so. I bought the 6" because the larger ones would interfere with my dust collector. I spent last evening breaking it in on some scrap wood. I had been using a Scotch Brite 2" ball and it did fair. I can see the Klingspoor 220 grit can be quite agressive. I'll have to be gentle. It seemed to me I still need something for de-fuzzing small areas. I have several Dremels which work but are not that convenient, having to hold the Dremel in one hand and the scrolled piece in another. I had sheets of Scotch Brite left over when restoring a milling machine. A sheet of Scoth Brite, sharp knife or scissors, a 1/4-20 bolt any length, two 1/4-20 nuts and two fender washers. I used just one layer of Scoth Brite but they could be piled up to make a thicker unit. Instead of punching a hole I just cut an X near the center of the pad with a knife. It works beautifully in narrow slots and other small areas. The grey pad is less aggressive than the green. Scotch Brite is readily available nearly everywhere. I bought mine on Amazon. It's a cheap little device and works great. Scotch Brite can be sometimes stolen from the kitchen but you did not heard it from me.
  11. Your chair looks very comfortable. I have two chairs which are similar in my clock shop. However, they are too low. They are similar to those in a doctors office. They are adjustable and comfortable. I really need an adjustable drafting chair but am too cheap to buy one.
  12. Looks like your experiment worked beautifully!
  13. Nice job you've done.
  14. Both are beautiful. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite. The one on the base looks more like the Ascension. I like it.
  15. I use a stool with a very thin padding. My butt hurts because all my padding is at the front and not on my butt. I keep threatening to buy another stool but so far I've just stopped scrolling for awhile until I quit hurting. Your stool looks great especially with wheels.
  16. Wow, you have done some beautiful work.
  17. Beautiful little girl. You've done a great job!
  18. My horseshoe clock is cut from an old cedar fence slat. The horseshoe is from my friend Clayton. He welds the horseshoe to a large washer.
  19. Wonderful looking piece. Thanks for posting.

    Hawk BM-26

    I have a belt driven Hawk. It is serial #321 Model SS14. It is made to mount on a ShopSmith. Not having a ShopSmith I motored it and mounted it in a stand. It is now a single speed.
  21. Ooooooo, NICE!
  22. I cheated. The frame is from Wall Mart. Thanks.
  23. This is the portrait my wife wants to use for my memorial service. I'm gonna get a dog to taste my food. I guess she does not want people seeing me like a long haired hippy
  24. Cutting is nice but the idea is great. Thank you for posting.
  25. Inn addition to a small machinist's square this little protractor works really well. Place it behind the blade and no parallax or squinting problems.
