    What does it take to clean up one of these "barn finds" to useable shape? How would you go about it...and would it be worth the effort?
  2. OzarkSawdust
    WOW...that is an antique!

    Interesting... On the table saw (I'm looking at them) What model, When did you get it? How much have you used it? Don't want to hijack the thread, but you made an interesting statement.

    I see the beast folded up behind the trash can...I have one of those too. Hate the fence!

    King, Pegas, Seyco...?

    "as for the delta TS mentioned- i would stay away from any table saw that is either direct drive or has the motor under the table. belt drive with motor hanging off the back is the way to go." ??? How so? What's the difference, other than $2000+ cabinet saws?

    You got that right Kevin. In one comparison I saw, mid-range table saws, it compared 11 saws (2 Saw Stop models) and gave a bunch of data on each. In the "Country" column - Delta, Jet, Laguna, Powermatic, and the 2 Saw Stops were made in Taiwan. While the Grizzly, Harvey, Ridgid, Rikon, and Shop Fox were all made in China. So if you need a part for most major brands you better hope it's in stock at a US service center. Otherwise you're trying to get it from overseas! Is there a new American made table saw in the $800 - $2000 range?

    But most of you are sighting Delta tools bought several years ago. I'm looking for a better table saw than I have and see this Delta 725T2...a few of the reviews like it, saying it's a great and accurate saw. Then a few of the reviews say it's junk, even smokes around the drive belt, and have trouble getting service. What do you believe??? At $600 at Lowe's it's attractive. All of the saws I've looked at so far from Delta to Saw Stop and Powermatic are either built it Taiwan or China! I would think Taiwan may be better made...but who knows!

    I don't know what the "proper" size is for each blade...but I don't do real intricate fretwork yet. I mainly use a 1/16th bit when possible, but when there's not much room I use a #56. When I was starting, a little over a year ago, I ordered several sizes. I don't think I've ever used the...#60, #65, #68 I normally use a Pegas #3, #1 and once in a while a #5. I may try to tame the evil spiral blades this next year. I think I have Pegas #1, #0, #2/0 or 3/0 don't remember.

    If they are as good as the blades, let me know when they show up.

    When you drill a hole in 1/8 ply and it smokes...ya think it’s time to change your drill bit... LOL.
  12. OzarkSawdust
    Very nice! Does it come with a pair of dice...lol? I have 2 pair and a couple of decks of cards that have been used in the casinos.

    Only 1 scroll saw...at a time. Started with a WEN, cheep to try the obsession...I mean hobby. I liked it a lot so I got a good saw, a King 16" and sold the WEN. If I ever get another scroll saw I'll probably get the same style, Pegas, Seyco, EX, in a 21" but I'll keep the 16" for a travel saw. It doesn't take up much room in the 5th wheel!

    I had forgotten about Bulls Eye Shellac, I've used that before. The next batch of 8 ornaments will need to go out quickly also. I may just pick up a can of Bulls Eye and spray them tomorrow, let sit over night, box Monday morning and let them fly.

    Would the regular oil base poly work the same as water base poly?? I have oil base, and I can't find water base Polycrylic around here.
  16. OzarkSawdust
    Good point. I've been thinking about a laser also. When I do I'll try water base poly first! Although I do like the smell of a campfire...

    Quick and easy is good! I'll try that on the other order and see how it goes. Maybe spray each one as they are finished so most get a little extra curing time. I did this order when I finished cutting all. Are there any finishes that you DO NOT want to mix, as in one on top of another? Or any that you need to do first/or last?
  18. OzarkSawdust
    Thanks for the info!! These and a batch of 8 needs to go out quickly. And of course they were just ordered in the last day or two.

    I finished cutting these today, and dipped in Watco Danish Oil Natural for 1 minute. They have been drying in the shop (60*ish) for a couple of hours. The shop will probably be 50s most of the night. They are 1/8" Baltic Birch Ply. For those of you that dip in Watco a lot....would you: 1. Call it good and ship tomorrow? 2. Dip a second time...how long? Ship tomorrow or Sat.? 3. Spray a topcoat? With what? Ship tomorrow or Sat.? Thanks
  20. OzarkSawdust
    Busy afternoon. One more on this order and seven more on the next order, then just one per order.
  21. OzarkSawdust
    All of a sudden i have orders for 16 more of these! Hope I can get some heat in the shop!
  22. OzarkSawdust
    Hey Dave, shoot some pictures when you get it in place. Mine showed up yesterday so I'm getting ready to set one up also.
  23. OzarkSawdust
    Very cool! Love the effect.
  24. OzarkSawdust
    Absolutely stunning!!

    Great job Frank! It really looks awesome! I made that a year ago, unlined as a potpourri box, with just BB ply. I like the design, I should go back and do another with nice hardwood and a liner. Thanks for sparking my imagination!
