    Dust Deputy Vacuum Cart

    Nice plumbing install. It should work well for you. I love how well my Dust Deputies work. I have two Dust Deputies. The first one was added to my re-purposed whole house central vacuum that I installed in the attic of my shop. I have inlet ports in several locations in the shop as well as one...

    Segmented bowls Finished

    If the angles are accurate, the lengths probably aren't. Both need to be accurate or you will get ovals and gaps in the joints. Some impressive results, so far. Charley

    Segmented bowls Finished

    Impressive looking, so far. A few years ago I bought a couple of gauges called "MiterSet". They are used for setting your saw miter gauge to exact angles. I was told that they are accurate to three decimal places, and I believe it. One lets you set the miter gauge to any degree in 1/2 degree...

    Dust Deputy Vacuum Cart

    It may not be too late yet for a suggestion. Putting the Dust Deputy and bucket on the bottom will put the inlet closer to the floor, making it a bit less likely to tip over when the hose is tugged. Of course, you can also fix this with extra plumbing, putting the inlet low and pipe run up to...

    Segmented bowls Finished

    Sorry Allen, My intent was to get you his name and the name of our virtual club so you or anyone interested might be able to get in touch with him. We have another segment turner in the club, but I haven't seen any recent posts from him. His name is Earl Rasmussen and he lives out on the coast...

    Segmented bowls Finished

    Though I don't turn, I have a friend in our more local woodworking club that does some spectacular pieces. He is also a "Charlie" and segmented woodworking is about all he does. He made the piece in the photo attached. His full name is Charlie Stickney, and the group website is...

    Suggestions on cabinets.

    An old friend of mine replaced the kick boards of his stairway with drawers that varied in length depending on the space behind the stairway. So the face of each drawer became the kick board of the steps when the drawer was closed. He made pocket hand holes in each drawer face to act as the...

    Mineral Spirits Leak Overnight, How to Kill the Smell?

    Lots of ventilation and a fan blowing across the affected surface. I didn't have nearly as good luck. My leak last year was Orange Shellac. The smell is gone now, but the dry Orange Shellac will likely be there forever. Charley

    The Farm Shop

    "I'm guessing a shop will be growing out of it!" My thoughts too, but I don't think adding sprinklers and water is going to make the shop grow out of it. Charley

    Welding for crafts

    Well, all that likely scared you off of welding, but there is a lot of good that can come from metalworking, once you have the capability. When I decided that I needed wheels under my 52" Unisaw, the price of a good frame and wheels of the right design to fit was hundreds of dollars. I liked...

    Welding for crafts

    Oh, clothing - Burn holes or worse from welding and grinding are frequent and common in your clothing and sometimes worse when doing this. We frequently get new outfits from the local thrift shops to wear when playing with metal. For safety gear you, of course, need a good welding hood, Full...

    Welding for crafts

    My #2 son and I were working together and still have a full metal working shop, though after my pacemaker was installed and the doc said "stay away from high frequency and high energy arcs", I pretty much had to back out of the business and let him have it. I still help, but no more welding or...
