  1. Better make a 6 foot pole with a basket to take the cash and hand back the puzzle. RJF
  2. My wife has done puzzle continuously since I met her. She will have the tv in the background and do a puzzle. Other then puzzles that have a different picture on each side, I really don't think she worries whats on the back. She will outline the table with sorted pieces by color, create the outer trim, then goes to town clicking them in. She never looks at the back or edges. So its up to you if your staining the edge no puzzler will notice. Depending on what you use, watch for the pieces fitting in tighter or not fitting. RJF
  3. I've seen videos of the French biking with a long stick of bread over their shoulder. A french version would be quiet long. RJF
  4. Came from a google search. I've located a pin-interest and a Decal store on Ebay that is closed. Haven't seen any direct author. Located it using line art as part of the search. RJF https://www.google.com/search?q=line+art+christ+with+thorns&hl=en&biw=973&bih=581&sxsrf=ALeKk03dU30f9MZP27tx4OvSyYwneVkpKA:1589072437325&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=7X-3jDmv_iSceM%3A%2Cjakvp_gI-o6hiM%2C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kTUvAs9od03LgWdoXmeaO5FBQiWfg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiFlZiRjKjpAhVFWqwKHfaOD2EQ9QEwBnoECAoQIA#imgrc=7X-3jDmv_iSceM:
  5. When we lived in an apartment for 13 years we bought a nice Kitchen Aid garbage disposal. We were tired of anyone of us tossing any food scrapes in a 13 gallon garbage can and it rotting and smelling, forcing us to either put up with it or toss a particle 13 gallon bag. The sink didn't have a disposal and it didn't have any electric under the sink. I bought one of these air button units. Took the filler board from the front of the sink counter and replaced it with a piece of painted plywood. Drilled the plywood for the air switch. Then ran a heavy duty extension from the garbage disposal out the counter door, along the baseboard to a wall plug. Ran it for years with no problems. When we moved, I dropped the garbage disposal and put the original front filler board back on. Switch worked with no problems for years. Now we have a really nice garbage disposal. Moved out of our apartment to the area we are looking at and got a monthly contract with a extended stay hotel. We are sitting in a hotel waiting since Jan 1 waiting for the real estate market, Haven't had a house posting for months. The kitchen cabinets here are Ikea and mounted wrong. If we put cans in the cabinets they would fall off of the wall. So the floor is stacked the shopping trips of cans and packages we cook with. Planned the whole move but didn't figure in a pandemic! Right now I would have to scroll saw with a coping saw. RJF
  6. Your welcome, cash donations always welcomed. RJF
  7. There are different circular wire brushes that mount on drills and motors. They have tough wire to brass Maybe one of these could do without putting gouges in the wood. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=wire+wheel+brush&ref=nb_sb_noss Will add Drill brush has grades of brushes for cleaning. https://www.amazon.com/stores/Drillbrush/page/F5733C91-A33F-428E-8474-CD115411E213?ref_=ast_bln RJF
  8. Welcome. There have been posts about unheated garages and all sorts of information and help on any questions.The top right hand has a search that will pull up past forum topics. Ask away. RJF
  9. Just kick up the size. RJF
  10. SCROLL SAW CHALLENGE: Cut a pattern with the scroll saw upside down. If you can do it, NASA may want to talk to you about scroll sawing in space. RJF
  11. Chairs are like beds. Locate a GOOD Office supply, Office/ furniture supply. Try...Try...Try.... Does it fit, does it adjust, just it work for your back, neck, arms. If your going to use this chair for hours on end, you will quickly find a chair that doesn't fit, will leave you with back pain, neck, shoulder pain. Even check the large city upscale office supplies and check out the chairs. You can then know what you want and shop for deals. You can either modify or go with the height of the scroll saw. Also know if your going to get up a lot for supplies or needing to grab tools or move projects. A bar stool type is easier. Sitting with feet flat on the floor my ease back, leg, foot pain. RJF
  12. Excellent. Going to be hard to read the address from the road at that size. RJF
  13. Keep the cow in the kitchen beside the refrigerator. Keep hay bales for seating. Fresh milk, cream and butter every day. AND you can churn butter for something to do. RJF
  14. Survival Prepping Ray, Didn't you stock up and keep a flock of chickens and a few goats in your survival location? Eggs and goat milk for breakfast. I would suggest a cow, but then you have to buy a bell. RJF
  15. My original reply was directed at calling out a credit card number, which he didn't want to do again. This virus has scared the hell out of a lot of people, even to the point of not using cash cause it could be infected. Bartering is the original system of trade, and no it doesn't have to be a goat. I use tongue in cheek humor to keep the subject light. You could have just as well traded an old power tool. Traded work for a physical product, or traded a wife for a sheet of plywood. The goat was a historic reference of animal trade for something else. Though we don't tend to keep animals in our pockets so society moved on to items they call value that can be carried. Though still wonder if you can carry your wife, is she then recognized as legal tender? Absurd enough? And so in respect to those that can only take so much, in case I went too far, I sacrifice the goat here and now to end the odd inner message thread.RJF
  16. Back to basic bartering. Give them a gold bar and its useless in these times. A goat supplies milk, cheese, and if really needed meat. Who needs plywood? Can't eat it, Can't wash your hands with it, and I'm not sure a cut square of it will wipe behind. RJF
  17. Go back to traditional bartering. Trade a goat for plywood. RJF
  18. To clarify my above comment. I spent my youth reading Popular Science, Popular Woodworking, Popular Mechanics. As Spring approached, there were articles to build a sail boat, or row boat, or paddle boat. The write ins and comments would follow of someone building a boat in their basement only to discover they had no way out. The decision was than to break the boat down or cut walls. Happened repeatedly over the years. I assumed anyone collecting and reading old woodworking magazines had read and would remember them. A lot of those old plans were complete hand tools, and it would be rare to be able to use any portable drill bit above 1/2 inch. Building a boat was a pure demonstration of ones woodworking skill. RJF
  19. So you have plans to build an over sized boat in your basement? RJF
  20. Take your pick. RJF https://www.amazon.com/s?k=sanding+sponge&ref=nb_sb_noss
  21. I thought everyone fell in love with sanding sponges. RJF
  22. Strange I've been chatting with a bunch of people, 'as Twight light Music Starts'. rjf
  23. Someone want to explain to the public that Scroll Sawing is classified as an ESSENTIAL SERVICE? RJF
  24. LED bulbs come in various ranges of the color spectrum. They go from cool to warm. I find the cool or daylight gives me a headache and use the warmer LEDS. Our family also gets headaches from florescent. If you have sessions your ending up with headaches, check your eyes, glasses and maybe change to a warmer color light. RJF
  25. Some good copy shops have shear paper cutters to cut the spine evenly and a machine the punch holes for a comb spine. The spines are sold by inch diameter size, so one can be selected to let the book lay flat. RJF
