  1. Amazon has mini drill chucks less than $20.
  2. I make a mineral oil beeswax mix or linseed oil beeswax mix using a crockpot and putting in tins. After the beeswax has melted and the oil blends with wax it is good to put in tins. I give a tin with each cutting board or cheese cutter that goes out the door as gifts.
  3. If that happened to me more than the last two letters would have went flying across the shop to never never land. I hope you have better luck the second time around.kmmcrafts Kevin I'd say a chance meeting at the Wood Expo in a couple of weeks but I am going up one of the three days to get some things on sale just don't know what day. Too bad they aren't having seminars this year.
  4. I am glad not to have to worry about time spent. I am sure it helps with pricing your work. I spend quite a lot of time in the shop messing around and tell my wife it is planning time.
  5. The stand looks functional and that's all you can ask for. Great job on you first projects I hope it doesn't become too much of a distraction.
  6. All great ideas. You might want to include an electric heater to take care of the occasional cold days.
  7. Glad your safe. Must be that wall of animal puzzles you built around your place. If the generator is natural gas that kicks on when the power goes off that would be an awesome addition. Good luck the rest of the storm season. All I have to worry about is an occasional Indiana tornado.
  8. Looks like a big project I wouldn't want to take on. Good luck and I hope it's so quiet you don't know it is running.
  9. More pass is a great idea. Raise the router bit a little at a time and make the last pass taking very little off. Here is a picture of a homemade router table from Woodsmith plans that I use my trim router on.
  10. The speed potentiometer seems to be an issue with several brands of scroll saws. You just have to hit the sweet spot.
  11. I use both kinds of diablo and like the paper backed as well. Kevin when you get sandpaper at Johnson's Workbench pickup Baltic Birch plywood and some hardwood. That way your 40 mile trip will be expensive but worthwhile.
  12. Always nice to get a new saw to play on.
  13. I learned to buy tools without the wife finding out. I also learned don't make the first project so you won't have to make more. I built one farmhouse table for daughter in law which led to a second one for my daughter this will be my final one.( haha )
  14. I take mine to the school where I taught CAD and use their large format plotter. I may get shut off someday once all my contacts retire but that will be 30 years. So hopefully when I am 97 I still need to use that option.
  15. I hope repairs work until you can upgrade to a new saw.
  16. Awesome work, l believe we will let you be a part of this forum. Looks like you belong.
  17. I will keep my 16/32 supermax drum sander it works great.
  18. Nice saw! That would be on my list as one of the choices.
  19. Ray you will find that home that is HOA free. So you won’t have to deal with a Cynthia telling you the your mailbox is 2” too tall as they cut it off with a chainsaw.
  20. I can't open it either. Here's what I do with scraps. Cheese cutter and matching cutting board.
  21. I have a carbide tip blade that did cost as much as 5 regular blades. So far it has lasted 3 years and still cuts great. I just resawed cherry, hackberry, walnut and hard maple all cuts were straight and smooth. One light pass on the planer is all that was needed. I hated spending the money but it has been worth every penny. I figure I am up the cost of 4 new regular blades already.
  22. Is that vet in your garage?
  23. Kevin one of these days we will have to meet at the wood expo at Johnson's Workbench.
  24. It's handcrafted you had to use your hands to program the laser or Cnc, put the wood on the table and clamp it down.
  25. I am trying my best to stay perfect.
