[quote="cv3"]What do you think the ods are he did it with a Shopsmith?] There is no good reason why not unless it be that he did not have one.

Around and around it goes! Where it stops nobody knows,

Interesting 'translation'.

Impressive to say the least. Almost Rube Goldberg ish.

I still wake up every once in a while and think I need to find my PT uniform and get to formation before I'm called out of ranks. Then I really wake up and smile as I lay back down and remember, I got at least two more hours to sleep.

i just found this and reread the post to see if it was answered and now so here it is

Who needs a Rotozip, when your cordless drill will work just as well? Grizzly’s Beaver saw-drill can cut a starting hole with its tip and rip through material with its tooth-covered shank. Chuck this bit up into any drill with a 1/4″ chuck or larger, and you’re ready to cut drywall, paneling, and a slew of other materials

For drilling the initial pilot hole, the first 5/8″ of the Beaver saw-drill’s tip resembles a common, 135°, split-point drill bit. The saw portion — with 90 sharp, side-cutting teeth — makes up the next 1-3/4″. For faster cutting and longer life, both the drilling and cutting portions are precision-ground and coated with titanium nitride. Grizzly makes the entire bit from M2 high-speed steel.

Made in USA, the Beaver saw drill will only run you $4 at Amazon — a heck of a lot cheaper than a Rotozip, and one less power tool to lug around.

Question for CV3. At Michael's they sell a bag of various size carving blanks. Are these strong enough to cut down for pen blanks?
