    Sometimes, the price has less to do with selling the item than finding the right person to sell it to.

    I don't buy from anyone who restricts how many I can make.

    Some pattern books also have limits. I usually find them in the preface, introduction, or first chapter.

    My Pegas saw came with a shelf made from 1-inch-thick oak. I was thinking about building the sandbox, so I put 60 lbs of aquarium gravel on the shelf as an experiment. As far as I could tell, it made little or no difference. I usually run my saws at their particular sweet spot unless a different speed is required. I don't see how you could have a scroll saw with zero vibration.

    It depends on the project and how many times I get interrupted. I have grandkids around the house most of the week, so many interruptions occur.

    I was stationed at Korat RTAFB, Thailand, at the end of Vietnam.

    I haven't made a frame in years, but when I did, splined miters were my favorite. There is nothing wrong with a half lap or but joint for a frame.

    I don't hear anything out of the ordinary. Have you checked the motor bolts? If these get loose and the motor shifts position, it can cause problems.

    I have several sanders. Three of them are random orbit sanders. I Hitachi and one two Bauer. The Hitachi is by far and away the best but it has a weird shaped dust port. The Bauers sanders have a round dust port. They only get used for sanding boards that are too large for my Shopsmith belt sander.

    The Klingspor Abrasives Gold Sand Mop 1"x 4" 220 with double the regular flutter sheets and no stiffeners. I use it for everything from wood toy parts to fretwork. I have had it for several years and have not worn it out. I also have Klingspor Abrasives Spindle Mounted Mac Mop, 180 Grit. I find it helpful in relieving sharp corners, but I don't use it for much else. It is more aggressive than the Gold Sand Mop. More than just the fact that it is a coarser grit. I looked at making a mop before I bought one an I would not make one. I have better things to do.

    I have both, and I much prefer the mop. I find the mac mops to be to agressive for my projects.

    I do this as well. However, I think that what is happening is that in the first clamping the blade isn't straight in the clamps and when I flip the tension lever it straightens the blade, and when I remove the tension there is a little slack. I have experimented with this and found that if I was extremly careful to get the blade exactly right there was liitle or no slack.

    I was going to bring that up. Ipe is very hard to saw even with a bandsaw.

    I have Google Analytics working on my Mosaic site. Goimagine analytics does not show traffic sources, so I needed this to determine if any of my promotions sent traffic to me.

    From my few orders, they look clickable if they have a customer account.

    I have a lot of these little Harbor Freight Clamps. They work well but don't wax the bars, or they will slip. I haven't seen these below $1.99 for years. I bought mine for $0.99 several years ago. Their clamps have a lifetime warranty. I have exchanged broken clamps.

    Works great. Same here.

    I like my Foredom MH-1 because I can move it to where I need it or out of the way when not in use. It's made of steel, so I can use neodymium magnets to hold tools used with it. Primarily the chuck key so it stays with the tool.

    I have the Foredom MH-1. It works great, but it ain't cheap. I'm using it with a Grizzly tool.

    I know this will sound strange, but I don't get the Christmas surge. So far, my biggest month has been in August. I'm promoting only Goimagine now and will do this for a while and see what happens. If it does not work, I'll cut it way back. It seems to be since my Goimagin views took a nose dive after Christmas and now the views are steadly increasing.

    The time it takes depends on DNS caching. 72 hours is not unusual. Here is a DNS checker that checks various DNSs around the world. You are testing at 100% this morning. When you check your website, you only use the DNS your system is configured for. The checker tests a bunch of different DNSs around the world. Mine does not test at 100% today. I was a Systems Administrator/Systems Programmer before I retired. I always figured it takes at least 48 hours for a change to propagate completely. I have been using the Google DNS for many years.
