My shop was a comfortable 68 degrees today and the outside was 43 and dropping. I have a bigmaxx 50,000btu natural gas heater. It only cost me $120 a year to heat the 30' x33' shop. Temperature will get below zero at times during the winter.

It is finished. I put it on top of a quartersawn red oak box. Arm-r-seal finish.

I think it would be a good conversation piece at the bar.

Anybody done any cutting in Corian?

Wear a dust mask, when I cut it on the tablesaw or router it is very dusty. -
My local hardware store has it and sometimes you can get the scrap pieces for free since somebody paid for the whole piece. I use to have a endless supply from one of my daughters friends dad, but he no longer works at the display makers factory.

This is my first attempt at Intarsia. The rose is redheart, the leaves are poplar and the stem is walnut. I still need to do some more sanding and shaping. I am thinking of putting it on top of a oak box that needs to be made.

I cheat and use AutoCAD when I substitute at the local Vocational School and use the plotter to print it at 1:1 scale. The string method and the homemade device works great too. When I taught drafting precad we use the major and minor axis to draw them with a compass.

Looks like it was an awesome show to attend. I am sure you had a great time.
-
Looks like your wife did you a favor by expanding her business. I think you came out ahead on the deal. Nice shop, I hope it's heated the temperature is supposed to going down to thirties at the end of next week

I have had my planer for six years and flipped the blades after 4. I am getting ready to replace the blades. I have 13" Delta with 3 blades. I am lucky because I use my woodworking club's 15" planer on rough lumber. I just use mine to touch up after resawing.

I like the holders. Looks like that going to be a big sale item. Good on the next 4 outings both on the weather and items sold.
-
I use a holder made from a Steve Good design. It works great for holding the tubes. I will never use all the different types of blades bought before knowing what works best.
-
I like the upgrade to Steve's pattern. It looks great and something I would not have thought of.

Nice work Kevin!

My local woodworking store has demonstrations every Saturday starting the end of October through March and a Artisans Fair in August. I usually give 4 or 5 demonstrations during that time all at no charge to the attendees. I make a trip to Johnson's Workbench Wood Expo every year the weekend after Labor Day. The expo has discounts on machines and wood as well as several manufacture representatives. They have demonstrations and workshops all day Friday and Saturday. My woodworking club shop has hands on classes every Wednesday night free of charge and materials are also provided free.

I like the smell. We have a fellow that brings in camphor to turn on the lathe and it makes the club shop smell like camphor. I think that smell is worse than red cedar. Take the suggestions and wear a mask and don't stay at it for long periods of time.

Home Depot has the Delta on sale for $299. Excellent saw for that price.
-
That is awesome customer service. I buy from rockler because of quality and free shipping.

Ken your friend is lucky to get some nice chunks of maple to turn. He should let one of them lay on the ground for some spalting. Maple looks great when it is spalted.
-
No I will take snow any day to the wild fires. You have a chance to reclaim the lumber with wild fires you get a chance to scoop ashes.
-
Awesome opportunity, the Dixie Stampede is a great dinner show don't miss it if you have a chance.
-
Awesome rose! Great mix of wood choice.
-
At least your making a good attempt which is better than me. I have not even attempted it.

Harbor Freight Orbital Sander & New Sandpaper
Woodmaster1 replied to kmmcrafts's topic in General Scroll Sawing
My woodworking club just bought some ridgid sanders so far they seem to be fine. The lifetime warranty is a plus as long as you register it. -
I use the flocking kit shown. I put finish on the box first then after it dries the glue is applied (same color as the flocking) next apply a generous amount of flocking let dry overnight and shake out the excess.
