    Chinese laser purchase/Shenui/Laserworks tips and tricks thread

    Thread Starter: Rodne Gold

    Considering a lot of us are going or have gone that direction , I thought it a good idea to combine our knowledge pool in one thread. So I have started one. Those of you that have already posted to other threads can perhaps repeat and consolidate the posts here or at least point to other posts on...

    Your Best Nifty Shop Tip?

    Thread Starter: Russell Neyman

    It's the small things that often make the biggest difference. I've found that the crafty veterans seem to know a little trick here or there that make turning better, safer, faster, or easier.

    Sharpening technique--removing the wire edge

    Thread Starter: Steve Voigt

I would like to introduce to everyone a new process me and my son developed to laser engrave true 8bit shades of grey using a 445nm laser diode.

    How about a little side contest? Make a Pencil sharpener...

    Thread Starter: David Weaver

    The catch being, make it completely and totally by hand. No electric at all with the possible exception of drilling a hole in the cutter. In the world of everything being sharp working better, I'm thinking that those little hand twist manual sharpeners would work pretty well if the cutter in them...

    Lie Nielsen new waterstones

    Thread Starter: Dave Cav

    If didn't have a good set of Shapton pro stones I'd be looking at these. The combo stones appear to be a pretty good deal. http://www.lie-nielsen.com/catalog.php?sku=2-OHISHII

    Free Corel draw templates for paper cutting

    Hi Jit, I know that too well. I had to draw all of mine when I started 6 years ago! Now with the scrapbooking & card making craze I can find something

    Target Coatings EM6500 or GF Enduro White Poly

    I've never sprayed either of those products either, but I have sprayed gallons of GF's Hi Perf. Poly and some of their EnduroVar. Both of those products

    How Do You Make This Cut?

    My recommendation was not hypothetical. I have actually cut a 6 X 6 inch square hole in the exposed side of a cabinet made out of 3/4 inch oak plywood

    Gutter guards. Good or bad idea?

    About 6 years ago I bit the bullet and bought the (highly franchised high cost solution) Gutter Helmet. They have the rounded lip that carries water

    Thanks,
