    Something he will treasure more as time passes and long after he's forgotten most of his other gifts.

    My wife has the Scan &Cut. Good to know it could be useful for Me!

    No matter how well I cleaned the tips I was always fighting plugged nozzles. Then I read to not use the caps. I’ve not had a clogged tip since. And it does Not harden in the bottle.

    Nice job. I too have used food coloring. The neat thing about puzzles like this is that when it becomes too easy for the child you can cut it into more pieces!

    I like it. At least last years wasn’t a tattoo!

    I disagree. If you can afford and want it then buy it. What difference does it make if you have a limited time to enjoy it?

    He can only cut to the left!

    Many of my first power tools were really junk when I got them and they certainly were after I used them to death. I keep them for loaners and never loan my good ones. Even then I have a sign-out sheet by the shop door and everything gets logged out and in. I started this after one too many times that I wasted an hour or two looking for a tool only to call my son in desperation and hear him say "Oh ya, I think I've got that". The list isn't needed much now that he moved out of state.

    I put a riser block on my old Delta clone and put the “cool block” guides. I could never get it to cut straight until I watched and followed Alex Snodgrass (of Carter Products) setup video. Also don’t overlook the benefits of a quality blade. I like Timberwolf but haven’t tried many others. resawing is now a breeze.

    What a cool idea. Now, if I can get my brother to do the peg holes with his CNC router...

    Wow! Some very thin support for some of the sections. How did you do that without breaking? Tom

    Beautiful! Wouldn't play on my iPad last night but did on my computer this morning. Tom

    Very interesting. If only I had a laser printer. I thought I was listening to Bob Ross. Tom

    The woodshop at the Arizona RV resort I winter at has a DeWalt that someone has added a spring contraption to lift the arm. I've found it annoying for it to pop up when releasing a blade and tough to hold it down to reinstall. Maybe it's sprung too heavily or I didn't give it enough time before moving to another saw. On a related note, they have a couple new Delta saws. They have a button to push in the hold the arm up. However, the button is at the back and is a stretch to reach. Additionally, it allows the arm to come back down far enough to be useless. Couldn't wait to get back to my saw.

    I posted the arm lifter I made for my DeWalt. Now that I've used it over a year I can say that I can't imagine anything simpler or more efficient. The only thing that didn't come from my scrap box was the Genuine DeWalt screws I ordered to attach it. I wouldn't had had that expense if I wasn't so anal. Here's a link the the topic:

    Nice looking cabinet. Do the wheels lock? Might be more interesting if there were wheels on the chair too! I'm in the process of building retractable casters for every woodworking machine in my shop.
  22. Heli_av8tor
    You'll be getting a new saw soon!
  23. Heli_av8tor
