of making a bowl, vase or box anyway you wish to make it and post it here on this like.

I am glad I am finally back after doing some major upgrades in the shop in the last 8 months and I feel the GREAT NEED to turn again.  For me I want to make something eye catching and then donate it to a worth cause to action off.

What do you think everyone?   Maybe even find a cause to let time auction them?  

Does anyone have a nice wall set up for say a #1 -#6 and a few saws that I can build easy plans.  I know I can not turn one. 

Hello All,

Due to a stroke and inexorable age, my serious woodworking career has about ended.  Meanwhile, I have a good supply of usable lumber and plywood available for anyone who can pick it up.
I hate to see it go to waste, and my daughter who will inherit it will not know, or care much, what to do with it.
Includes good supply of prox 1x8 walnut.
When enough is gone, there will also be an excellent wood rack which breaks down into manageable pieces.
May also include some small tools for an aspiring woodworker.
Post here for details or email:  rwalden@rwalden.com

I live in Forsyth County, Georgia.  ZIP 30028

Regards,
Russ Walden

I have two dust collectors on opposite sides of my shop.  Each is 1 1/2 hp, wired 240v.  Wondering if I can operate on two remote switches without turning on both at the same time. 

Said another way, do the remote switches all operate on the same radio frequencies?  If yes, may they be adjusted?  Do different brands use different frequencies?  

thanks for suggestions,
tom

I have a Harvey C14 bandsaw and I’m looking for a blade that will give good quality cuts. Hoping to find something that will give smooth sand ready

I have had bad luck with Timberwolf blades. Several breaking at the weld after shortly after changing or after one project. Personally I consider them are junk.

I have used regular carbon Lennox blades when I had a small bandsaw and liked the performance they gave.

Now that I have a bigger bandsaw capable of resawing I need a good resaw blade that isn’t $200. Size blade the saw takes is 125” and the manual saws it can handle 1” but seems like it would max out the tension with that wide of a blade.

Some may enjoy pictures of whaat I do.

Well, my Woodmaster 38” drum sander was long overdue to get the Velcro on the drum replaced.

The Velcro fabric itself peeled off easily, but it left a tremendous amount of adhesive residue.

My tips:
- use gel paint stripper. I used Keen Kutter Stripper from - HD, complete with warnings about the risk of fatalities. Common solvents like acetone don’t do much. Use PPD.
- use a steel drywall knife to scrape off the softened adhesive
- find an assistant to turn the drum while you scrape (like peeling a log)
- plan on it still taking several hours
- use rags for the final cleaning. Paper towels leave lint.

The strip and scrape routine got about 99% of the adhesive. The rest was soft enough to remove with acetone and then mineral spirits.
