you certainly can check out uship.com for a wide variety of individual people driving empty trucks and smaller companies looking to fill the empty space.

Nice work thinking about how to make multiple non-regular shapes!
I notice there's a little retention lip to hold the straps on. If the grain had run the other direction, so you would be looking at...

that is a really sharp design, and the inlay is great!

the bell tower looks really cool! Bet you filled up a bag or two of sawdust...thinking about a cyclone yet?
What's the cool looking yellow truck right behind the first photo? A Mann?

I am really digging the stand out straight grain!

Finally got a round to making a port for the pneumatic drum sander.
I'm not totally convinced how effective the dust collection is on this port- it definitely works, but not sure how well. When...

it still leaves dust on the table in front of the belt. I think the OEM dust collection was good for that, collecting the dust from under the belt. I think I can live with this setup, since it still...

I was looking to improve the dust collection on my Rigid belt sander (where the belt is standing on it's side). OEM dust collection is a tiny port in the table to collect your shop vac to.
Having...

by the way, the pneumatic drum (which I had to replace 'cause it had some cracks in the rubber) seemed to throw alot more dust than the flap sander. I think that's because the flap sander was so much...

Ironically enough, I found one used a few weeks ago, and just used it for the first time today, sans DC.
Looks like our friends at Grizzle have one solution already on the front cover of their...

thanks alot guys! I even looked at Woodcraft's catalog in the measuring section and didn't see it! My wife is a quilter too, so I'll put her on the alert.
Also, John, thanks for the headsup on the...

I've been scouring the web looking for retailers and just general references to this thing, and I can only find one from a UK retailer. What is this thing called?
It divides up the overall width...

very clever keith! Guessing the open side of the box that allows the tool to swing through doesn't have an issue with rigidity?
And, do you find that you have to clean off that table top every time...

Can you show how that planer flip stand works? It's doesn't look like the standard center pivot with another tool for counter balance. also, looks like the other side of the stand does something too?

now that is very cool! I can use that!
I think this is a similar philosophy as the Beall threader.

To clarify my original post, I'm not talking about jogging, but rather simple G0 and G1 moves.
Mike, I don't think it is DRO error, as I am seeing the incomplete travel on the dial indicator. I get...

I've got a small, used Techno Isel cnc that is being run by Mach3. I am still in the Mach setup procedure and am having problems with jogs.

When I ask the machine to travel to a given point, it...

Now that would be cool with some padauk and yellowheart! excellent idea!
I've been working on a tractor now for over a year- a model of a rusty john deere. made it from walnut, then lightly sprayed...

Indeed, I see much more mini farm machinery in his future. I've thought about enrolling him in the haven't started as yet "Andrew's Toy of the Month Club." Got to get the toys to them while they're...

My 4yr old nephew has had a big interest in combine harvesters. So, for his birthday, I made him a model of one! The exhaust chute rotates, grain bin doors open, even the head comes with a threaded...

hey rick, I was thinking along the same lines as you- a 2 week rental! it's not like you use the thing every week, but more likely, just every couple of years (shop changes, new tools, etc)

but there's no way of indicating inline images, right?

that is a rocking cool workbench. I think the flip over idea for the middle boxes is cool (wonder how much use they will get in reality), but love the glueup colors!

incidentally, I almost put...

you could also build a ring that holds dowels vertically. ring runs around the perimeter of the top of the bag, dowels run from top to bottom of the bag. I like the fomica idea best, as it would...
