Ed, I believe what you're looking for is an HDU signboard. It's available from most sign supply warehouses, but it's expensive. It can be routed, carved, sandblasted or cut with a waterjet. It comes in 1, 1-1/2 and 2" thicknesses, and precut to sign shapes. I'm familiar with it from my Sandcarv...

I've been a die-hard Windows user since Christ was a Corporal. That being said, I just got a iPad 2 32Gb. Got the iPad because I got it for free. My son has an Android O/S based tablet. We'll set side by side and there's not a whole lot of difference, other than Mike's android does Flash where the i...

I have a friend at work that's into raised bed gardening in a big way. He has a string of raised beds that are 4' x 12' square and 12" high. They are spaced exactly 32" between each bed, and he has a 2x12 that's 3' long with a cleat on each end that can span from one sideboard to the sideb...

I removed mine and reused it upon reassembly. Just take care when removing it.

SketchUp DOES have Snap to Grid and adjustable grid values. Select Window, Model Info, and Units. Precision is your grid size and...

Good luck Dusty. If you must have it done, at least you can get a laugh out of it. This has to be one of the funniest stand-ups about preparing for a colonoscopy that I've ever heard. Billy Connolly Probably NSFW.

Yes Dusty, it is quite a bit more crowded than the original headstock. Here's a pic from the upgrade instructions that shows the heat-sink from the power supply below the locking rod, with the wrap around the locking rod and the motor ready to install on the left. When the motor is installed, those ...

I need to express my gratitude and thanks to ShopSmith's great tech support, and Linda in particular for working with me to correct a problem I've had with my PowerPro headstock. Too many people only say something when things are wrong, but ShopSmith needs to know when things are going right too. I'...
