There was a girl showing how to use a router to cut circles. She was hot and 4-5 months preggo.

--------- As for the arc templating. Normie used to shape large diameters with a pivot jig and a bandsaw. He outlines the concept in the second segment here, about 15min in. <iframe width="798" height="579" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kRy1leeQnqc" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Making some progress on the new miter saw setup
https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/pict...pictureid=1947 Got the hood put together and the cabinet/drawers built. Hinges should be here shortly to mount doors then I'll trim the top out with some curly maple and put a hardboard top on it to make it slide smoother. I'll use MDF for my feed tables on either side as MDF gives the flattest profile. That 12" slider w/ a 60 degree cut needs a wiiiiiiiide hood to not interrupt the range, so I'll create a couple of sliding doors to close the face when I'm making a straight cut so I can keep the suction up. I ran a new trunk over to that side of the shop so my 2-stage collection system has plenty of oomph for the job, but I can't have that wide an opening without wasting a lot of suction. Once I get the Kreg stop system mounted to a couple of fences and get those installed, that table is going to be incredibly functional and by having 2 vents cut into that hood, I'll get pretty great dust containment. Awfully excited about how much that will help workflow. |
Success!!

The angles/measurements ended up just nuts on; literally a quarter inch to spare on the back. I'm going to wire in an internal outlet in the hood so I can make a small punch through the back to run a new cord and essentially 'power' the table and then plug the saw inside the hood itself. I really think this rig's gonna kick ass when all is said and done. i'll probably get too clever by half and 'skin' the inside of the hood w/ some hardboard as well to get read of those rough spots on 1-sided ply that A) look like shit and B) will trap dust. It should be pretty easy to cut to fit and brad nail into place. |
Looks good DJLN

Got a deal made on a 14" bandsaw yesterday. 1.5 hp motor I'm going to rewire for my 220 circuit, has a riser setup installed so it gives it 12" resaw capacity. With that much ass, it'll fly through most re-saws apart from real hard woods. It has a true rail system for the fence so you slap a tall re-saw fence on there and it's almost infinitely versatile. I have a ton of rough cut walnut I got from my wife's grandma when she moved (over 100 boards that are about 1.5-2 inches thick and 8-10 feet long). I'm not gonna lie - I'm getting a hard as a diamond in an ice storm thinking about the veneers I can make with this saw and that walnut. I can do a bunch of 1/16 walnut veneer that's about 8 inches wide and could turn something as simple as that miter saw table into something that looks furniture grade by just skinning it with that walnut. Have spent about 2 years talking myself out of buying a bunch of custom cabinets for my bathroom because it's about $10 grand. Well **** that - I can buy a couple of boards, make veneers and some new doors and rock and roll. I'll pay for this new saw 10 times over if I can get that all dialed in. I'll probably experiment by putting veneers in my gloss black fish tank stand. |

Anyone have good knowledge of garage doors? I have a single car garage that has extension springs on it now that I'd like to convert to a torsion spring so I can put a direct drive opener on it.
I have overhead storage mounted to the ceiling above the door and there isn't room for a chain drive opener. I had the Overhead Door company come out for a bid and they were quoting over $1200 for it, which is more than I was hoping to spend, and I wanted to see if I could do it myself. ($1200 was for the spring change, as well as an opener, it was about $500 for the spring portion alone) The biggest hangup I am having it trying to figure out what I need for the torsion spring setup. It is a 7x8 110 lb door. I know I'd need the torsion bar, probably just one spring, and things like the brackets and cables and drums and such, but I can't figure out exactly what I will need for it all and there doesn't seem to be a "set" of those, I just keep seeing all the parts instead. I have time on my hands, and think I could get it done for half of what the bid was for at least, I just want to make sure I do the spring right if any of you know what I need to look for? |
Not so much handy per se but after installing shower towel bars, hand towel bars, toilet paper bars, and robe hooks in 4 bathrooms, I'd like to offer the hardiest mother**** you to mini allen wrenches.

Have new, black stainless steel appliances. Of course a toddler also lives in this house.
Life hack learned today. He managed to scratch a large portion of the lower panel. Using a light polishing compound first, followed by a carnauba wax, about 80% are gone and the deeper one is much less noticeable. Thanks car care products! |
try a black magic marker followed by clear nail polish let sit overnight wet sand then polish
|
We now have all brand new Samsung black stainless steel appliances in our kitchen. Thankfully my only kid is moving to Nashville tomorrow. They might just be safe...

And now you know the trick for light scratches they may get! Only child huh? Did he turn out ok? I’m thinking mine might be an only..... |
