That same thing happened here in our mobile home park. Somebody tossed a smoke alarm in the dumpster and it started beeping. It drove my wife nuts so I finally had to go fishing around in the bin until I found it and did a smash job on it. It had a wired battery in it. No telling how long it...
My father called it a "star drill" and it was available in different diameters depending on how big a hole you needed. I watched him many time "drilling" a hole in concrete to install an anchor for some use. Time consuming but efficient for it's day. I have a hammer drill that does the same task...
I'm not sure I understand your question. Everything I make is done with a scroll saw. I do use a router on some things but most of is just scroll sawn.
Here is something that I knocked out in just a few hours.
An easy one. It was supposed to be a flower vase but I wanted to use it as a candle holder. I found a set of 2" diameter flameless candles, 2, 4, 6 inches each. This one is the 6". I had to alter the pattern a bit to allow for an opening...
Thanks for your offer. I'm not trying to do anything in particular at this time but if I come up with a need, I'll contact you. I am learning it a bit at a time and am actually succeeding in some things.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write your explanation. I'm 79 years old but highly motivated to learn something. I am a scroller and most of us use Inkscape to make changes to patterns and also to create new ones. But, for the life of me, I can't seem to grasp the basics. Either I'm...
Is there a very long learning curve for the software creation? I'm fairly computer literate but know nothing about how to go about doing this. I'd appreciate any leads on how/where to learn to do the pattern creation. Thanks for any help.
All done on my scroll saw. I did have to use a router to create the hidden 1/4" deep x 3/8" wide rabbet inside of the top piece. The sides are all 3D compound cuts. About an hour each.
I just finished these. Still need to shoot some shellac on them. My wife liked the first one I made her so much she keeps me busy making them for gifts. I'm burning out on this pattern fairly fast. I hope you like them. About 15 hours in each one. A John Nelson pattern from the book Boxes Bowls...
