I saw a picture of someone doing that. Anyone have any engineering background or tool making skills. I’m thinking of using Mark B. Idea and incorporating into a hand punch with a lever. I just priced out buying 4 inch rolls of premium Klingspor hook and loop paper in 25m rolls. I can get 975 out...

I’m looking for sandpaper circle cutters in the regular small sizes. 2, 2 3/8, 3 , 3 3/8 inches. I see craft ones but has anyone bought or made a durable cutter that will last and cut sandpaper out? I’m a little tired of placing orders for 100 disks at 25$ . I see I can get rolls of sandpaper...

You realize those are for small scale in a lab and use over 2 gallons of water a minute to operate. For resin you run your pump for hours sometimes days for some woods. There is no way one of those is feasible or environmentally friendly to pull vacuum for a vacuum chamber for resin and wood...

My best builds are the ones that make our tools look good and make them more function-able. I love the Henry vacuum! They are soooo expensive here in Canada.

He just announced he has comes to terms he is done with doing demonstrations. He said he thought he had another 5 years but his health caught up to him. He does not feel he can give a quality demo anymore due to not being able to stand for long periods, etc. This all came to be in the last month...

Yes, gone are the days where people put money into art in there homes. The post is spectacular. I remember when I was youhg going to grammas house with the huge stairs and banister rails. And the entrance on the deck with the countless hours of man work in the details of the posts etc. and every...

Okay, I think really getting the hang of this carving stuff!

Cactus juice is the gold standard at the consumer level For the people that believe it is. The guys that do it professionally use a few different ones. They have different consistencies for different types of wood. The method employed by those guys we can’t achieve at home with a house oven and...

the holdfast pump is a Venturi pump. So you need an air compressor to run it. a good one. So it is only good for pulling a moderate vacuum so you can vacuum chuck on a lathe. It is no good at all for pulling a vacuum for resin casting. It will not pull the needed 29 hg.

Or build another shed! I think you have enough material under everything to get a good start on a new shed!

Sometimes the simplest builds are the most ingenious and effective. Minus -20 here last week. Not all wood is destined for the lathe. Let’s hope my dementia doesn’t kick in and i use this piece of wood for my next project!

order the prefab shed. And rip a 2by 4 starting at zero.” The high spot’ and chase it around until, it’s 25 mm thick the low spot. Now you have a level base to sit your prefab shed on top of it.. put glue or something under shed. Or put a coarse of bricks around with mortar under to level...

In the shop finishing up a “clown Box” hard to tell with my poor photography but it is really pink. Stabilized maple Burl and African blackwood.

Very nice. Is darts a big thing over there in England? I know years ago I got a pool cue made for me in England and shipped over to Canada. A barracuda. Everyone thought I was crazy, til I started taking all there money!

big leaf maple Burl

12 inch salad bowl. Waiting for osmo oil to soak in before wiping off. A 60th birthday present for brother-in-law.

A finger lidded box! Resin infused maple Burl with African Blackwood insert.

very nice. The picture looks like a door that when opened is to another dimension, while sitting on the lawn.

You never know what you are going to get until you cut into it. This 12 inch bowl that I turned for a gift for a family member, stole the show. It was a piece of walnut that looked pretty plain in a chunk form. Sorry for picture quality, I forgot to photograph and wife’s sister send back a photo...
