I have successfully generated the spiral from helix.rb. Now how might I sweep my profile around the helix? Does this require an additional script?

Sorry if these are elementary questions.

I want to add a barley twist feature to a leg spindle. I am a newbie (like in hours) with Sketchup, so please excuse me if this is a dumb question. I am well versed in parametric CAD, but...

I don't post here often, but I knew you guys had a Design Forum, and thought this might be appropriate.

Last month, I took my wife to Fallingwater outside of Pittsburgh for our anniversary. We...

Mark,

Go to Ace, buy a straight-handled dovetail saw. They are cheap. They are less than perfect, but so will be your first (several) sets of dovetails. A saw like this will set you back $10...

I can't believe this post got this far into the second page without some gratuitous photos:

I was the second person to email her about them, and they didn't last long enough for me to get them. Someone walked away with a good deal.

James mentioned books above. If you can find them, outstanding books on traditional joinery methods (showing various ways to do just about any joint you could imagine) are those by Bernard Jones. ...

I would consider, if it is not too late, using a 5/8" shaft and then you can use Shopsmith centers and other components. They are held on the arbor by a set screw, so it requires no threading and...

I did discover that the Shopsmith uses a 5/8" drive spur for a plain shaft. It it held with a set screw.

I would not have thought that...

I have a machinist friend who could whip out a 5/8" to 1" thread adapter. Do you know of a drive spur that fits a 1" thread?

I am building a treadle lathe, and am trying to figure out what to do about a drive spur. The driven shaft on the lathe will be 5/8", and ideally, I would like to thread it to accept any headstock...

John, great looking dulcimers! Where is East Jordan? I am in Ann Arbor. I don't know if you saw my post in the design forum with the pictures of my fretless banjo: ...

I had a line on a nice Delta Tilting Arbor Saw for a really good price. I bought it and it sat waiting for me to hook up 220V in my garage. Just about done with the electrical hookup, and I sold...

Hank, the rim is actually a comercial rim made for snare drums. Most of the comercially available banjo rims are around 3/4" thick, but a thinner rim gives a deeper tone, which is what I was going...

I have built two banjos, and have an electric guitar started, but not by much. In the future I am planning a couple of more banjos, two flattop acoustic guitars, an archtop acoustic guitar, and maybe...

I just finished installing the same thing in our bathroom, and I went for "higher than the pedestal sink and lower then the light switch plates." Came out to about 42", and looks just right.
