  1. I think if you hook a series of these together with hose they make a bottle version of a bagpipe. RJF
  2. I let him out to do his business and he was SUPPOSE to come right back in! BAD SNUGGLES! BAD! RJF
  3. Borrow Bernies' coat and mittens. RJF
  4. He won't be any help wearing THOSE MITTENS. RJF
  5. Anyone considered the battery powered route. I don't mind putting money into portable power tools. I've seen articles on table saw, miter saws that are battery powered. I'm hesitant on battery powered stationary tools. Larger investment, but if the battery can't be found in later years, its a large paper weight with a blade. Seen lawn equipment, snow equipment go the route of battery power. Lawn mowers, leaf blowers, snow throwers. Grew up yanking on a cord to start a gas engine, ran forever. Just not sure the investment will last more than a year or two. RJF
  6. Bit of wood filler can fill in those carvings in the side of the table. Make it nice and smooth. RJF
  7. Finally got on today, was suppose to go the the VA for my monthly labs, 'life time med thing' Roads are too icey so it was easier to put it off and hang out. Thank you Travis.
  8. Forum dropped yesterday, now it doesn't recognize my sign in or email. Can't figure what to do. May be the end of my postings. If I can''t get in any more, its been great conversation and information. Later,, RJF
  9. There are a whole slew of home air coolers using styrofoam ice chest, and 5 gallon buckets. Basic design is a bucket of ice water with salt. Put a coil of hose or small cooper pipe in the bucket, add a mini pump. Take the rest of the coil and put it in front of a fan. Water is circulated in the closes loop hose coil, pumped between the cold ice and in front of the fan. See this used for broken car air conditioners, personal coolers and room coolers. Size can vary from mini to major tank size and scrape parts can help on cost. RJF
  10. Could be years to have a collection of chips or months. Just seems to be a added task to clear wood chips. With the suction, may never happen. RJF
  11. Wonderful design, well thought out. One area to keep an eye on are any 90 degree bends in the hose. It slows the air flow and can be a collection point for any wood chips. Any plumbers on this board can chime in' I'm using theories of drainage design. I believe the sewage plumbing has several low degree elbows worked in rather then a 90 degree bend. RJF
  12. Here is a more complex second beer can pattern. RJF
  13. Now that its decided that beer cans will be used as a material. I give you the first beer can pattern. RJF
  14. Scrollers are going to be falling out of their chairs restocking materials. RJF
  15. A plastic/ acrylic product will handle weather. RJF
  16. Take the cans back. Buy some more beer. Have some more beer and consider cutting those cans, or return them for further consideration. RJF
  17. Now you have to find scrollsaw blade that cuts glass. RJF
  18. I've looked at the pattern library. I can't find the topic for beer can patterns. Some may have caught I don't use smilies. My browser freezes when I click on it. RJF
  19. Better start buying cases of beer for next years 6 foot,beer can, front yard Xmas decoration. RJF
  20. I'm sitting in a hotel room still trying to get a house. Don't have any glue available. I seem to remember there is an expiration on glue bottles. They have a shelf life and are suppose to be pulled from shelves or shops cause they won't work as designed. RJF
  21. One line of conversation was the motor bolts were loose or the motor bearings were bad. Some one may remember more of the details. RJF
  22. I tried this and was overruled. RJF
  23. Here is one idea, a mechanics or auto stethoscope. It is direct contact for moving parts. The trick is going to be deciding what your listening too. RJF https://www.amazon.com/s?k=auto+stethoscope&ref=nb_sb_noss
  24. I would guess sash cord would take a bit of weight. More then a little scroll sign. RJF
  25. Didn't see any one list using a keyhole. One method is a keyhole bit for a router or dremel. No hardware other then the screw or nail in the wall. RJF
