  1. People love to their names. Remember when you saw your name on your office or cubicle. Was kind of exciting. Jerry
  2. Nicely done. I really like it. Jerry
  3. I too, give most of my stuff away. People are probably getting tired of them. I'm asked why don't you sell them. I tell them I'm retired and no longer want a job, just want to enjoy my hobby. Jerry
  4. Very nice, I'd say he is most certainly a chip off the Grandpa Block. Jerry
  5. Nicely done Joe. I've never made a gnome. Just don't see the fascination with these little guys, but this year I'm going to give it try. Might get hooked on it, Jerry
  6. Honest opinion, I like the old one (right) better. Jerry
  7. Welcome to SSV from Colorado. Jerry
  8. Took your advice Wichita, made a trip to Harbor Freight. The first employee sent me to the wrong area. Chased down a second employee and asked him for a height adjustable tool stand. Told me there where no such tool stand. Told him it was on the web site. He took a peek and when to another area but told me the one there was not adjustable. I looked at the box and it said it was adjustable. I told him his day was not wasted because he learned something new. Brought it home and assembled it. Lot easier to assemble if you have a helper. Thanks for the tip Wichita. Attached is a picture.
  9. Looks like something I could use, but a bit beyond my means. Thanks for sharing. Jerry
  10. Welcome back Terry. All look like you didn't skip a bit. Jerry
  11. Thanks RJ. That is a Air Force cargo airplane, C-124 Globemaster. I was a navigator in this plane. The engines look like jet engines, but this was a propeller driven plane. I flew in this airplane '64-68 jerry
  12. Thanks for the tip Kevin. Will do that next time. By the way, nice circles. Jerry
  13. I have not tried spiral blades, thought about it, just haven't done it. For veining I will usually drill a small pilot hole somewhere in the middle of the vien rather than on either end. I will then do my feathering in the middle. I used this procedure before I knew there was such a thing as spiral blades. See photo.
  14. My Christmas and birthday present to myself was a router table and router. After getting it assembled and placing it on a workbench it seems too high to operate it safely. I would like to know what some of you have done to perform routing procedures safely. I thought of placing the router table on a black and decker workmate with the legs folded. That would place the top of the router table at 37 ½ inches high which seems to be the right height for me. I’m a bit height challenged standing about 5’ 6”, shrunk some since my high school days. I’ve looked for tool stands that I could place my router table on, but to no avail. Suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank You, Jerry
  15. He sounds like an interesting and fun guy.
  16. Travis, how do you flag the pattern so you can remove it. I am one who has done this. Thanks, Jerry
  17. Great cutting. Makes me dizzy looking at it. Thanks for sharing. Jerry
  18. Very impressive! Jerry
  19. Hey Paul, whats with the Mr.? Jerry
  20. Watching a video by Tyler @artisanpirate where he made a candle holder I had to try it. Many time he closes his video with "If I can do it, you can do it". So I gave it a try. Came out pretty good, but the leaves are fragile. Broke two of them, one when gluing it, the other when staining. Fortunately you can't see where I repaired the breaks. Made this with pine, stained with Minwax gunstock. The second is a small clock with shelves from a pattern book I had by Diana Thompson, Compound Scroll Saw Creations. All the clock patterns call for small clock inserts which I could not find anywhere, so using inkscape I increased the size of the pattern to accept the 1 7/16-inch clock inserts. This was made with poplar and stained Minwax cherry. I'm pleased with both. Jerry
  21. That looks great Allen. Jerry
  22. Done that, been there with the blades. Jerry
  23. Mike, welcome to the Village from Colorado. Jerry
