conical disc sanding

jfran2, Yes, you can sort of do the same thing with a flat disk but not near as well and certainly not as safely. Just stop and think about the machanics of this task. The flat sanding disk tends to pull the stock down against the table (on the infeed side) but then the stock passes centerline of th...

Sawdust Sessions as Podcasts?

Nick. STOP . You're gettings your undies all waded up in a ball for all the wrong reasons. The comments about "going mainstream" were NOT a criticism of the current productions of the Sawdust Sessions. They were intended to be recommendations for how you might better address the younger fo...

Yup, it would BPR. I was just curious. You never know what situation one might find oneself in someday. That's what makes "tips and tricks" so valuable.:confused:

Sawdust Sessions as Podcasts?

Jim, I am running Windows 2000 while accessing the network via AOL. I am unable to download and do not see what you describe at the "Top of the Viewing Area" (no popup or pulldown to grab).

Sawdust Sessions as Podcasts?

I don't think I have the equipment/software required to watch a podcast so I have never tried. However, timing is the critical issue for Shopsmith. If now is the time, they better get on the bandwagon. Yes, the Shopsmith crew appears to be pushed almost to their limit. Maybe Shopsmith needs to take ...

If you haven't viewed this Sawdust Session, you really s...
