Thanks Bernie.
I just wonder how well a duplicator holds fine detail and what kind of tolerances they can hold compared to the original.
I once could stand at the lathe for hours, but as my knees...

A reat story and a great project. Congrats to your son.
They grow up all too quickly, cherish your time together as I know you will.

Yeah. Thanks

I design unique pens and would use the copier to copy my designs. I was just thinking of a way to make it easier. It would just take the tension and tediousness out of turning 100's of identical...

Hi Folks,
Over 20 years ago I bought a couple of cans of a red oil furniture polish from a friend who owns a cherry shop. I used it for years, mainly on pens (over the friction polish) and other...

Hey Folks,
I'm thinking of buying a mini lathe duplicator for turning pens. Do any of you folks have any experience with these? The different brands, etc? I see that General has recently come out...

I just bought one of those miter lock router bits the other day. It's for 3/8" to 1/2" stock. Haven't used it yet, but looking forward to seeing how it aligns the sides. This might work if left to...

Thanks for all of your responses. You've given me some good input for making my decision.

Hi. I am looking for input on the Prazi Beam Cutter; worm drive vs. direct drive, etc. I am thinking of buying one for historical restoration projects and such and would like to hear from folks who...

I bought a Poulan Pro from TSC last December with a 20" bar for $160.00 on close out. I have a farm and have used it to cut up some very big trees lost in a wind storm and I have been very pleased...

Sounds like a unique gift, I like it.
I have a friend who carves treenware and uses reguler gouges, but for the deeper ladles and such he uses bent gouges and such. Then varying grits of very...

Joe,
Attached should be a sketch (if I did it right) of a display case that I designed and built for a custom application in a small local museum. Actually I built three of them. I thought this...

Hi All,
I have been looking for information, details or plans for an authentic design Civil War wood canteen, one catered more toward the Confederate Army. Haven't had much luck so far. This would...

Hi John,
The holes are in the wood and the pins are lightly ringed steel. I ordered some .010" oversized pins just in case the chemicals didn't work, but it looks like I may not have to use them at...

Pull the pin and coat the wall of the hole with the violin swelling solution. Coat the metal pin with powdered rosin and replace in hole. Wait a day or so and retune. So far this is working GREAT.
...

I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Wood against steel in a straight hole is not an ideal situation for tuning pegs, but they have been done this way for years. I built flat tops; if I do any...

Hi All,
I built a couple of hammered dulcimers a few year ago and now some of the strings will not tune. The pins won't hold the tension. I'm looking for suggestions on how to fix this other than...

Thanks Mike,
I'm familar with adapting the slim line kits. I really hope to find a source for the kits that I have been using, they are so easy to make and yet attractive in their simplicity....

Gonna try to post a pic here.

Thanks Curt,
This is a similar style, but not what I'm looking for. I appreciate you taking the time to post this. I may try to post a pic later today, if I get time to take one.

Thanks again.

Hi All,
I have been getting these kits from Woodcraft, but they have discontinued them. They had one brass tube , threaded on one end that, aftered glued in the blank, was threaded onto a mandrel...

Hi Folks,
My wife and I were visiting a local boat dock yesterday and they had a cool glider by the door. It was adirondack style with curved back single glider seats on each end, which were...

All the guys are right. My son goes to school at the college there and I hang out around there some, myself. Berea is an awsome place and Pleasant Hill is one of my most favorite places to visit. I...

Hey All, I am researching old time wood locks and keys. Some are featured in Foxfire 6 and I would like to find more examples like these. I work in historical restoration and these things are really...

Could you make each drawer or any other animated object an individual component and position it as you like in reference to the whole?
