Has This Ever Happened To You?

A old onion bag and some duct tape could work for you. Nice ornaments.

I have the mouth of my DC a little farther away so I don't lose big chunks, but a couple of finials and perches did fly into the tube. Like they were AIMED there or something. Sigh. Like they said, it's mostly for DUST, not for chips on the lathe.

You did a super neat job of gluing the birdies on there. Nice job.

When I'm doing a bunch like that, I usually (USUALLY, but not often enough, I can tell you) make 10-20% extra. If I need 8, I make 10 blocks. I'm paranoid. My FIL taught me his philosophy of life when we were replacing a wax ring on a toilet at church. We went for parts and he bought two rings. I was young and immortal at the time and asked why 2. He said, "Insurance." Doggone one word answers. "Ed. Insurance? WHY TWO?!?" He gave me one of his looks and said, "If you buy one and mess it up, you have to drive back and get another one. If you buy two, you'll almost never mess up the first time. Wanna see my collection of wax rings???"

Still makes sense to me to this day.

Very nice work Jim. That had to be such a sinking feeling when you herd the clang?

[Dale Bright]

Nice looking oraments, Jim. I have a cyclone seperator for my DC that works great and prevents most everything but dust from hitting the impellers and it saves a lot of removing and emtying of the collection bag.

Happy Holidays,

Dale

Thanks again everybody. Dale, I guess I'll be heading to Woodcraft for that seperator lid......
