Gents, Thanks for the reports. I lusted after a Sand Flee at the Owners Weekend visit I made in July. Couldn't come up with the bucks yet but I did make a "Sand Almost Free" a la the old reible posting. So mine has a 6" sanding drum which is about to the point that I'd want a bearing ...

Ray,

That's super! I had been looking forward to an update ever since your older posting on the pin-routing method. Congratulations!

Thanks Drew,

Looking great! Can't wait to see that maple after finishing.

Also, what's the story on your acoustic? Is the dreadnought you made 15 years ago the same one heard on the Sessions?

hello,

I've seen guitar-building mentioned by drew and by hobbyist. Can you share more, with photos perhaps? And is this the same guitar from the Sawdust Sessions?

thanks,

John,

That's a super charging station. Something nice to blend high-tech and old-time craftsmanship. Good job!

Jim, I think you can drill as you mentioned but it's good to have your workpiece clamped to the table when doing so. Another idea is to get a 510/520 type of machine with T-slots in the miter slots, then you can use the nifty "vice on the table" to hold the workpiece: http://www.shopsmith....

Wow,

Good point on the threads inside the miter-bar. On looking I see my oldest one is pretty butchered inside.... I just ordered a new bar and the OEM tapered screws as well.

thanks,

Hi,

I thought I would easily find some examples of stuff built with "accordion-matched" resaw pieces, but I didn't. I'd like to see what this can look like. Anyone have some good pic's to recommend?

Have a happy Labor Day,

Hi,

I would guess it's the following:
2 x no. 126335 carriage bolt, 1/2-20 x 1-1/2
2 x no. 503782 knob.

These are what come with the hardwood miter gage extension kit. They also are included with new Mark V's for the project of making your own extension.

Enjoy,

Hurray!

From a fellow trash-hound, may you have much success recycling!
