My apologies but not sure who does what on this forum - so many of you do so many things and are so good at them all. Anyway, every week at my Saturday event, I get at least 1 request for something that is outside my wheel house/abilities. Last week it was a 3-4' sign someone wanted. I didn't pay any attention to it as I told them to send me the info and I would see what I could come up with. They never did. This week I had a similar request for someone wanting another sign - welcome to somewhere or other. They also are supposed to send me the information. It would be easier if I could just hand them some names an tell them to contact directly so I can stay out of it and keep my sanity and reputation So, in the event any of these people actually send me something is anyone interested in getting the contact for it? I would just send you the info and their contact info and you can work directly and I'll stay out of it LOL Thanks as always in advance

That is an incredible work. It would also scare the heebie-jeebies out of me to work with it

Such a nice set up. I'm so jealous LOL - but getting there

I have a small shop as well. Every tool I have is on a rolling cart for not only movement but also convenience. I have a Dremel with this workstation: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00068P48O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is mounted to a flip top cart that also has my Genevieve mounted on the same side, with my Planer mounted on it's own side The workstation for me is amazing! The base is small enough to fit on the top of my cart and I can add a larger table top to it when I need additional support. I use dbl sided tape to expand the base and a simple piece of 1/2" ply as the expanded platform I also have 2 bench top drill presses - a Wen 3410 and a HF 8" I just bought because I thought my wen was breaking down. The wen is on it's own wheeled cart and the HF is mounted to a 3/4" slab and currently clamped to the back of my main workbench - which of course is also on wheels LOL At some point I want to mount both drill presses to a flip top, but I don't see that happening anytime soon due to the nature of my Saturday craft fair events that are on going through March

Thanks Don, Sure - here is an example of some of what I'm creating.... I'm using Cooper Black, and always all caps Oh and "sturdy" to me is: Easy to cut Block type/style letters Not too fancy

Thanks @MrsN Nice choices @jollyred, @Foxfold - thanks I've been there dozens of times. Was hoping for suggestions on fonts more than sites that have them .

A while back there was a discussion on some fonts used for various projects. I downloaded them but unfortunately they are not working for my current needs. I'm looking for a sturdy font that I can use for my custom name key hangers Currently I use Cooper Black. It's an "ok" font, but not exactly what I want to use Any and all suggestions are of course greatly appreciated. Thanks as always in advance.

Nicely done! I'm in the Brown column as well

They are pretty cool! Thanks for sharing them

I bought these on amazon a while back No problems https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000302Z6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've been using the duck brand shelf liner since just after I started and learned it from several posts here. There are basically 2 kinds - easy peel and and not so easy peel LOL The 12" from what I can tell is the only easy peel available The 18" liner is a good alternative, although it is not necessarily an easy peel product though it does come off fairly easily. However, it seem the glue on the 18" rolls is a bit tackier. I bought 4 rolls of the 18" on sale at Amaz, and just bought 1 roll on Amaz of the 12" I'm going to buy the 12" in bulk I think, because of the less "tackiness" of the glue. The nice thing about the 18" roll is how many boards I can prep. Unlike @Iguanadon I do mine a bit differently. Rather than roll out the whole board ( I can't get 12" boards here, but now I can get 14" boards from my new source), I roll the liner on the width of the board in several sheets. I'm buying my boards now in 16' boards cut in half then in quarters, so I cut 2 18" x 14" pieces then a 14" x 12", and line them up and stick em'

Wow, that's a great "Duke" cut! Thanks for sharing

I haven't bought bb in a while, but in the past I purchased on ebay. There was link on here a while back for the ebay store.

We've been very busy keeping up with orders from our Saturday craft fair event. Here are a few of the custom order items we've been providing for our customers. All the animals have started out as Harvey Byler patterns And again, thanks to @Iguanadon for his continued help and support... One customer has 8 Boxers and wanted a harness holder: Another customer wanted their name immortalized A customer ordered 9 custom named items! Here are 3 of the Key Hangers they are ordered And yet another customer ordered 2 Puzzles and 2 Leash Hangers. No customizing except for a non-puzzle creation We have a bunch more custom items coming. Thanks as always in advance for reading...

I also use tubes in a home made rack - works just fine for me

We're considering offering some of our products locally on a consignment basis. Interest if anyone else is doing this... How successful? Commission Rate? Any other questions I'm missing? Thanks as always in advance

As soon as I find it again - I have 200+ links for woodworking stuff I have to go through Delta Technical actually sent me to the site and told me that's where they get their hard to find parts. Ok Found it! Was on an older machine I seldom use anymore... Pretty sure this is it... leneavesupply.com

Your choice options IMO are quite drastic and kinda like comparing apples to oranges. One is $700+ and the other $300 - big difference I have 2 Delta's now since I can't afford the higher end machines We're doing a lot of work on them these days and they are holding up very well - although I did have to tighten the motor on my original There are reviews on the Delta on this site which helped me to decide between the Delta and the DeWalt Oh and BTW as to repairs, if you can repair it yourself, many of the parts are actually available (I guess it depends on what you need) - I have a site that claims they have all the parts and are the goto location for Delta Machinery when they are out.

Love it! Do you mind sharing your "diluted shellac" formula? Is it Denatured Alchohol - 50/50?

Thanks all for the replies, Scott doesn't have that pattern, he has a different Mermaid I think you're correct @kmmcrafts - gotta sell a few more than I'll purchase that cd if it's still available Maybe it will go on sale or I'll get a discount coupon for fox chapel - that would really help!

Does anyone know where this particular pattern came from or where I can purchase? I would like to get it if possible and I can't find it anywhere Thanks as always in advance

Welcome, nicely done! Thanks for sharing them

Anything Beatles is good with me Nice cut thanks for sharing it

I know right? I'm sitting on quite a few but afraid to ask

I love cribbage and that is a very cool board! Thanks for sharing it
