Dick, this is excellent! I love the angel's expression and that Dress is amazing!
-
Really nice and I love the wood. I too want to do a chess set. I just bought a pattern book off Amazon. Can't wait to get that one started sometime in the near future.

I love your work even with shaky hands. I had the opportunity to see Waylon play in Montana when I went to the University of Montana. Great Concert!
-
What wonderful work! Thank you for sharinb!

As always, Amazing work!

Lovely work!

I will miss his work as well. Hope he comes back soon! I am one who has been on here for just about 1 year and have learned a ton. I love all the different answers to my questions because I then take time to ponder the answers and come up with a good solution. I do try to use the search tool to find topics prior to posting my questions but I don't have much luck. Plus, if I find an answer in the search, it might be so old that I feel a newer answer may be better. On a neglected note....@kmmcrafts, I found out there is an upgrade clamp for my G4 Hawk....which is being made for me by the Hawk folks in the next couple of weeks. Thank you for your help!

Those are sooo cute.. so glad you got back to your saw!
-
Very nice....I really like using Osmo as well....
-
Brenda, Really nice work. Are you going to put a backer on it, if so what type, or something else like hang it in a window?

Dave, another question....what do you think of the Rikon slow speed buffer https://pitexo.com/product/rikon-8-low-speed-buffer-1750-rpm/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA-62tBhDSARIsAO7twbaWE5-sBO40PAHb5Hw_uJCtiFvlnCZ1z4Pl84vkkv3_xSHU7k2r-EIaAvfuEALw_wcB or are the arms too long to put the adapers on? They seem to be less expensive than the grinders. Also, note @rjweb question a couple of messages earlier in this thread. Thanks! -
Melanie, so I did some checking of 8" grinders. The Rikon, Bauer, and delta variable speed grinders only go to 2000 RPM as their slowest setting, Whereas, the Rikon slow one speed grinder is 1750. Since I am a newbie to the sanders, would you still want the variable speed or go to the Slower one speed Rikon. What do you think of this Rikon buffer? https://www.woodcraft.com/products/8-low-speed-buffer?gclid=Cj0KCQiA-62tBhDSARIsAO7twbYDN8IdQ8saSMpthyUl6DYopdQTle6Wnq7H5tXrXgoHEVofWTyEeAcaAiafEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Barb, I wrote the previous quote which shows up on my computer.....the "since it sounds difficult" I do not see that on this thread....
-
Melanie, thank you for all the helpful information. I did contact the Guinevere tech and he pretty much said the same thing as you and that you could not attach any variable speed device to it. So, just for clarification, when you stated: if I was starting out with one, I would go with the larger grinder with the flex drum sanders, is there a particular Grinder you would recommend such as the Rikon that Dave Monk has or are you talking about the Foredom or something else? Thank you for the link as well.
-
Thanks Dave....Yes, I did read that about the Foredom. that is why I like the chuck idea....How is the other side set up? did you have to have an adapter of the left side as well to hold your cylindrical drum sander?
-
Thanks Ray, I am saving this just in case my EX will need help....So far my green ol' EX is doing well!
-
Barb, I did see your fliptop build and your sander. When I saw your sander, I really liked it so I thought I would make one as well. Since it sounds difficult, I think I am going to go with suggestions on this thread..... I think I am going to get the Foredom but am also inquiring about the King Arthur's Guinevere one: https://www.woodworkingshop.com/product/KX11340/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2KitBhCIARIsAPPMEhJGQxWEgl7M-WHc1lRgIpNHgOXmXKJqpDpgxfMXZjhVTMkALOlcwqMaAgpzEALw_wcB
-
That variation in speed is huge...thank you for pointing that out and the other info. Thanks again!
-
Ray, Thank you, that is interesting....I did look at the reviews and read something about it having trouble with the motor overheating since it is 1/6 HP and the Bauer one is 3/4 HP....do you have any knowledge of that or know of anyone that does....thank you so much for pointing this out.....
-
Ray I have a buffer I use for auto body repairs, but I have to use two hand to hold onto that bugger. I think you must me talking about a different kind of buffer...can you turn it into a sander so you can but a mop on one side and a drum on the other?
-
Paul, I am sorry to hear that yours is wobbly. I saw it when I was in your shop this last summer...is that the one you are speaking about? I have a really good friend who teaches welding at one of our Highschools (he is a retired engineer). Anyway, I wonder if I had him weld something together that might actually screw onto the arbor rather than use the allen screws. I could also go to a local Machinist and have them make me something....wish my Dad was still around he had his own Machinist/Tool and Die business. He could make just about anything out of metal that you needed.
-
That is very helpful to know. I kind of thought that about that regarding the right handed chuck. Would love to find a key chuck that can mount onto the arbor if you know of any please let me know. Thanks again!
-
Thank you for responding to my questions.....I have a couple of belt sanders one big one and a little one like the one in your link and a disc sander, but to do smaller intarsia type pieces, they do not work well for me especially about corners or if I want to do a bowl they don't really work too well. I could use my drill press or my lathe but would rather not have to set all that up to do sanding each time I want to sand (call me a bit lazy ). I would like to have a stand alone system that I can adjust the speed and be able to use two hands to hold my piece while sanding. Thanks again!

I saw this Bauer variable speed Grinder on Harbor Freight. https://www.harborfreight.com/8-in-variable-speed-bench-grinder-with-led-work-light-59300.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=12126402660&campaignid=12126402660&utm_content=150898466087&adsetid=150898466087&product=59300&store=296&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAkp6tBhB5EiwANTCx1CAPZn4gZf1MJF3h19Jf27AYpON2nDSzJsIjBGvmWa_oltvlBUffNRoCpIUQAvD_BwE I would like to make a sander where I can add chucks on both sides. I saw this chuck on the Grizzly website for a 5/8 arbor (which is the same as the Bauer one). Has anyone tried this? Is there a better choice out there? Can I only use the chuck on the right side due to the the way the threads turn? I like the idea of variable speed for sanding so that is why I was looking at this. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

That is super fun! I am a tea drinker but it just doesn't have the ring to it..."No tea, no workee"
