Re: Mixing hobbies - woodworking and 3D printing

>>>>> 11.25° <<<<< ? How much $ in raw material? About a dollar in raw material cost. But that's only one part of the cost equation. This wedge took about an hour and a half to print. If I sold them, I'd price them at $5 per wedge. 5$ is too cheap! (unless you are selling a set of differing segment...

Re: Harbor Freight Dust Collector?

So should I go to Harbor Freight tomorrow and use that 25% off coupon (only good today and tomorrow) on the dust collector even though I have no idea how I'm going to implement it?

Re: Heath's Woodworking Projects

I mentioned to my wife that I might remove those two beads on the goblet and she said she liked them and to leave them. Maybe she's just being nice, but I guess they're staying. There is a lot of Magnolia in Louisiana. The Magnolia Blossom is the state flower (Bald Cypress is the official state tree...
