Came up with a hack to reduce vibration.. probably already out there. I cut out a piece of anti fatigue mat foam to match the base of my scroll saw. Works great... waiting patiently for my upgraded saw... delivering next week! Lol...
Thank you for this informative vide. Also for not charging for this important information. You mentioned using wax to lubricate where the you screw it in. That reminded me of my dad using Vaseline on screws to make them easier to get into screw in to what he was working on. I miss working with him.
Lads? I have a "100usd" scroll saw. a 85w. ` I moddified it, to take pinless put nice skf bearings in it and lighten the paralelogram.... I use proxxon blades 25 18 and 14 dpi Made jigs. I'm trying to cut "half laps" into 25/30mm x 3/5mm hard woods. The damn thing just don't want to, I need to push the wood with all the might. and still barely do it it does not jamm it just does not "bite" the damn wood I bought it to save some time (so it takes me a good 2 days to cut 8 cuts/ a single frame) the blades are "made in germany" even the saw is, any ideas? is the saw junk the blades ... me ?:))
Great job! Thanks to your whole team . I have gotten into some larger blanks lately and I really want to get the most out of them. This looks like to say to go. My kids have been asking what I want for Father’s Day. Now I know what to tell them. Keep up the good work.
Charlie, I would be absolutely honored to have an opportunity to talk with you. I live in Alabama… I am Army retired… I have never built a rocking chair… but … I know this sounds crazy but I have just spent about $250,000 and 6 years building a workshop next to my house … this is all for the purpose just so I can build Maloof & Hall Taylor style rocking chairs and other similar style furniture as a hobby for my family and especially my Grandchildren when I retire in about 3 years.. I have personally harvested for my use about 40 large trees in my area that are walnut, cherry, Maple, white oak, beech, Box elder and other varieties and operated the mill myself.. so I have about 15,000 bf that is currently air drying in my shop or outside up under my shops back covered back-porch.. not sure how can I contact you? Thank you John Bies .. Huntsville, Alabama..

@Gwinnett Woodworkers,.. Bob, My Girlfriend’s DW788 is less than one year old, and has begun blowing the GFCI outlet that it is plugged into. The brushes look fine. Any suggestions?
Hello Jack. Many thanks for this very informative and technical demonstration. I could relate to many of the issues ypu raised having made just a few urns in green wood. I would be keen to know more about the preparation and drying process. Expecially how to avoid cracking. Frim what i could see, you turn your blanks to general shape leaving a 2 inch wall thickness. Drying takes three months and you see the wood going from 30% back to 10%+-. You leave the partially turned piece in a paper bag in the workshop for that time if i gather rightly. Have you any thoughts on choosing the wood to start? Can you turn a full log, ie heartwood and sapwood or is it better to stick to sapwood?. If you use the full cylinder and howeow out the heartwood, is the base likely to crack....most of my urns to date show varying degrees of cracking so i assume that i am doing something wrong. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. In any case. A very useful video. Many thanks. Darragh, amateur wood turner in France
Anyone who owns a RAS should get Mr Sawdust book called How to Master the Radial Saw! First thing, make a good table. Very well described in the book. The one shown here for the MBC does not look straight or flat. On the smaller dewalt, there is an hexagon hole at the end of the harbor. Same side as the brass nut. That's how you hold the harbor shaft while loosing the nut. Ripping on a RAS is not about bravery. All you need is knowledge. Using powertool without knowledge is beyond bravery. Once set up and used properly, I feel safer ripping on my RAS than on table saw. Again Mr Sawdust gives all the instuctions and tricks to be sucessful and safe. This is a great introduction class about the RAS. It is a sad safe ripping was not thought properly and the myth about its dangers is passed on. If interested in ripping safely, check Brian Weekly video called Ripping on a Radial Arm Saw?
Mr. Baldwin, this video may be 4ish years ago but the content is still very interesting. I personally believe that I will never match your expertise but I will definitely give it a go. THANK YOU
Starting at 39:00 he starts describing how cutting the front and back off the drawer makes it narrower because of the kerf removal, and that makes the whole drawer narrower than the body. He says he address what you do about that in a few minutes but I don't believe he ever does. I can't find anything else online about how to fix this. I guess you could sand the whole body down on the front but that's a lot of sanding. I was thinking of putting a thin shim on the back of the drawer to push it forward, flush with the body.
One way you can address it is with adhesive backed felt dots. You can attach them to the back of the drawers. I've seen them in 1/16", 1/8" thicknesses.
Nice video Rob. I am brand new to pen making. I never knew there was so many little things involved in Pen Making. However, a question comes to mind when you showed the kits. Once you make a pen, do you ever have a customer ask for pen ink insert replacements? Or are these inserts available at any staples store for example? Thanks!! I learned a lot.
