Very nice Paul, you always do nice work.

Think I will have to look further into this. I need some dust collection. That sounds inexpensive and fairly quiet. thanks Ray Hope you have pictures when you get it completed.

Ray you have this system set up and running in your shop?

Thanks Les that's what I needed to know. Sounds pretty easy and simple, even for me.

Okay does the dust collector go in a bucket or something or is it self contained and just attach the hoses to the vac. It looks like something that would set under my saw. I have the Dustopper but it is large and bulky. It works okay though.

Hey Thanks Ray I appreciate it.

Hi Ray. do you have links to the miniature dust collector and the Metro vac. I would like to check them out Thanks grizz

I hunt and peck also on the keyboard but would give it a try.

Still a nice job. I don't have a planer either but it's on my wish list. It just looked really light colored in the photo. I'm like Rocky I do the best prep I can then turn the cupped side down. It usually works well. keep up the good work.

Nice work, what kind of wood did you use.

I think they have gone up a bit Ray but if you shop Ebay there are still some good deals and free shipping. Kevin I did notice on a couple stacks that there was a sawdust line. All I n all it worked great for me. I may try again without the tape, but I have a lot of stacks already taped and ready to cut. Will have to cut them first. Lol. Thanks again guy's for all the info and help

Maybe this one worked https://www.ebay.com/itm/1000-Shipping-Labels-8-5x11-Full-Sheet-Self-Adhesive-Blank-Paper-Laser-Inkjet-US/123645997819?hash=item1cc9e032fb:g:4yIAAOSwS3NcZaTw

Trying this site from Amazon Hey I finally got one to copy and paste https://www.amazon.com/Buhbo-Address-Shipping-Sticker-Printers/dp/B07Y5SLPTH/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=1MKJ18A2CQFL3&dchild=1&keywords=full+sheet+shipping+labels+white&qid=1585276690&sprefix=%2Caps%2C243&sr=8-3-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExV1c1MjNTQVNINkhCJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjMzNTM2MktZV1VKQTdKVkoyWSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODkzOTk2M1RaUUVUUURPOUlXUiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

on my PC Ray. I just tried that but I am still being dumb! going back to try again.

That didn't work. I will keep trying Sorry

This isn't the exact ones I bought but they look identical. These are about $.60 more. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1000-8-5x11-Full-Sheet-Shipping-Mailing-Address-Label-Self-Adhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/1000-8-5x11-Full-Sheet-Shipping-Mailing-Address-Label-Self-Adhesive-Laser-InkJet/254057132996?hash=item3b26fc33c4:g:coMAAOSw851cM31xhesive-Laser-InkJet/254057132996?hash=item3b26fc33c4:g:coMAAOSw851cM31x

I will try that Ray Thank you. I not good on this darn computer. It frustrates me

I went a little cheaper than Kevin. I got mine off Ebay 1000 sheets for $ 53. 35 delivered. They are not scored on the back but have a small edge around the outside to peel from. They seem to work fine so far. I would post the Ebay website but am not smart enough to get it on here. I used to be able to copy and paste but forgot how I did it. As Kevin said 100 or 200 sheets will probably last most people a long time. I just got that many because I use quite a few and they were much cheaper.

That's great you are busy. I am busy but just making stuff, not selling anything right now. Thanks for the tips on printing. I am running windows 10 and I am poor at running my computer. I will give this a try. We might be breathing a little sawdust in the shop but that's much better than going to the store and breathing all those virus germs. stay safe and keep making sawdust.

There are some nice pieces that go to waste but like you say they are never big enough. I wished I would have read more closely before on the use of the shipping labels. I am from MO. the show mw state so it takes me a while to catch on. I wasn't very bright when I first read about using them, I was think of full pages of address labels and could not figure out how you guy's were using those . Lol Ebay has some great deals on half page shipping labels but I figured I wouldn't get my pattern in the right spot.

I am going to order blades from Denny before tooo long I think I will get a dozen spirals as I have never used one. My good friend Paul ( AKA Scrappile ) said he would let me try a couple but with the coronavirus I probably won't see him for a while.

I though t you used the shipping labels as well Ray but I couldn't remember, didn't want to throw your name out and be wrong.

This subject has come up before. The most recent was a few weeks ago by Kevin at KM Crafts. For some reason this time it got my attention. I am tired of spray adhesive. I ordered a 100 full sheets of self adhesive shipping labels from Amazon. I was cutting puzzles out of poplar so I printed up a batch of patterns. Sanded my boards, applied clear shelf liner ( I have been using the shelf liner for a couple years ) applied my patterns ( no messy spray adhesive ) and started cutting. Worked pretty good, I still had an occasional pattern lift as usual. The most thing I noticed was that after handling my pieces while cutting that the lines got dimmer and dimmer. the ink was disappearing. It wasn't on my fingers and it wasn't smudged on the pattern. Maybe it was the cheap ink I am using in my laser printer? Here's my fix. I wanted some thin cheap packing tape so with the pandemic going on instead of driving to the Dollar store I got on Ebay and got 18 rolls for $ 13.56.just what I wanted. Should last me a while. I bought a 4in. hard rubber roller from Hobby Lobby for $4.99, found out why it was so cheap the first time I used it the ends came out of the roller. A couple dabs of 5 minute epoxy and back in business. Now I am using Baltic birch for ornament's. I lightly sand the wood with 220 grit, wipe off the dust, apply the clear shelf liner and give it a quick roll with my new roller, lay out my patterns and attach them, give them a quick roll, apply my thin packing tape over the patterns and give that a pretty good roll. Sounds like it takes a long time but doesn't. I use a 18 gauge nailer to hold my projects together while cutting, that was my next step. Drilled all my entry holes and went to cutting. I have cut over 50 stacks in the last few day's and not one lifting issue. Lines are all clear and a great cutting experience. Just like the old days when I used to glue the pattern directly to the wood, except now there is no messy mineral spirits to deal with. Did I mention no messy or smelly spray adhesive. It might be the packing tape giving a little lubrication or it's my imagination but my blades seem to last just a bit longer as well. I haven't tried any large projects but think this would work well. I am cutting some pretty intricate ornaments and not once did any part of the pattern lift, not even the outside edges. this won't be for everyone but if you are having pattern lifting issues it's worth a try. I think the roller really helps, I can tell the difference on how well the shelf liner sticks to the wood compared to not rolling. A big difference. I don't believe this is much more expensive if any than the spray glue. If it is well worth it to me. Sorry for the long story. Thanks Kevin for writing about the shipping labels they work great. I just ordered and received a 1000.
