    Useless knowledge we're forced to learn, have never used and have now forgotten

    Thread Starter: John Coloccia

    Be honest. Without counting, how many letters are there in the English alphabet? I can truthfully say that I have never, ever, ever used that little piece of knowledge. Not even once.

    Do you still get a local paper?

    Thread Starter: Matt Meiser

    Just curious as I've been reading a lot about this lately between a debate raging on a local newspaper's forum about the local paper's decline and from Facebook posts from a childhood friend who's a night editor for a big city paper. I actually created a poll I can't answer in a straight forward...

    Straight edge question

    Thread Starter: Jerome Hanby

    I'm going to add a straight edge to my arsenal. A big majority of its use will be setting up and aligning equipment, table saw wings, jointer tables, etc... Is 36" (that ball park anyway) long enough to take care of me or am I going to constantly be kicking myself because I didn't get a longer one?...

    From the first time I saw pictures of Stuart Mortimers signature twist work, I knew I wanted to try one myself, but I feared it was too difficult and time consuming. Stuarts book, Techniques of Spiral Work- A Practical Guide to the Craft of Making Twists by Hand, and an article in the May 2006 issue of Woodturning were the sources of inspiration and also great learning tools. It was when Mark Hubl showed his first spiral piece that I finally decided I would give it a try.There are many ways this work can be done, but here is the way I make twisted finials. As with any woodturning project, if something doesn't feel right to you, don't do it!!

    Do you have woodworking knowledge you're just dying to share?
    Want to be an author at Sawmill Creek?

    Now you have a new area to publish articles!

    If you want to publish an article, you can join our authors group, which gives you access to a forum which is open only to would-be authors at SawmillCreek. This is a staging area for new articles, where you can post a new article, and we'll review for publication. Once you're ready to publish it, we'll promote it on the front page of SawmillCreek!


    The process is simple:

    1. Join the Authors group by visiting this page.
    2. Once you have access, visit the Authors forum.
    3. Start your article by creating a new thread in that forum.


    TIPS

    If your article is too long for a single post, don't fret ! Spread your article over multiple posts, and we'll merge them together into a single post when the article is ready to be published.

    Try posting pictures inline for visual interest.

    Choose a catchy, yet descriptive title!

    Writer's Block?

    We're looking for tool reviews, woodworking tips, woodturning techniques, jigs and fixtures, finished projects step-by-step, finishing techniques, social woodworking experiences, and even good compilations of our existing thread topics.

    Good luck and Happy writing!

    Those wires are for a red dot laser. It is the kind that combines the red dot laser with the CO2 laser.

    I did look at those. They appear to be varying radii, which interestingly enough, usually have the smallest one at 1/16" radius. I need 3 equal beads
