Long Drum Roll..... Ta Da !!!

Hi, Credit for this project goes to the Sand Flee people as well as reible's old posting on "Sand Almost Free." I've been lusting for a Sand Flee but haven't been ready to buy it yet. However... I did just get the 6-inch Drum Sander. I went to work making a miniature Sand-Flee of my own. I...

Good call, Gents,

I have a total of 3 flat discs but only 1 conical disk. I may get more conicals. It bears saying again (I've heard it before), the conical disk is one of the neatest, most value-added gadgets you can get for the Mark V.

Extra holes in headrest / used for ???

Hi, Just thinking aloud on the other topic of the optional Bandsaw eccentrics. I wonder if I might "firm up" the bandsaw out on the diving-board end of these long eccentrics, by fabricating a 3rd leg that goes down to the headrest. The headrest has 2 small holes on either side of the latch...

On the topic of optional large-offset Bandsaw eccentrics

Hello, I am one of those who got the large-offset eccentrics for the bandsaw, and quit using them because of the "diving board" oscillation modes. From responses here, it seems some users had that problem and some did not. I wonder if the bandsaw wheel balance from machine to machine has a...

Hi All, Thanks for commments so far. I used the conical-sander method "pre-emptively" on 4-inch wide pieces since I didn't want to rick tearing out some fine figure on my jointer. Also I wanted the 2 halves of the resaw to be exactly the same thickness for book-matching. I think my main cu...

Excellent summaries above! I will add, regarding ordering stuff at the show -- For myself I am already beyond the point of "addiction" and I order SS items too often. At the owner's weekend I mentally handcuffed myself and tried to just enjoy the classroom and social environment. For the J...

(Conical) Thickness Sanding, a la Session #14

Hi All, A few days ago I thickness-sanded some nice crotch walnut that I had resawn. I used a modified (lazy) version of the conical-sanding jig that Nick showed in Sawdust Session #14. I'm really pleased with the results. However I hope there is some improvement I can make on dust-collection; the p...

Some of my highlights from Saturday

I rode in for a few hours of Saturday visiting. SUPER TIME !!! - Ohio gasoline is "magic." My Buick got 25 mpg on Indiana gas and 35 mpg on Ohio gas. - Got to see the actual stature of Nick Engler. All I knew before was that he was somewhere between a YouTube frame size and a projection-TV...
