unloaded some wood.

Planing on learning to machine metal?

Really well, almost as good as maple. Walnut sucks, I should have my unsteamed walnut next week. Curious if that makes any difference on how it machines.

New wing in the works. Naval Flight Officer.

Made a IWO badge for a friend's wife's retirement. Maple machines SO much better than walnut. Going to be doing some NFO wings this weekend in Cherry. Still have another 50 Army ones to do. 🤦‍♂️

Should have ordered the Veritas.

Would go over like a lead zeppelin.

I’m starting to run out of room 😬 once the jointer and bandsaw arrive I won’t have much room. The wings are 45” wide so it would take up considerable real estate. Commercial space is calling my name. Or just moving to a place where I can build a 5000sqft shop. 🤔

I do. Would love to be able to switch to a spray lacquer, would speed things up immensely.

Walls? I’m pinning these on my chest.

Making wings. Lots and lots of wings.

The Quangsheng are branded as WoodRiver here in the US.

That didn’t last long. What is the mater with it?

I’ve been happy with it as well. Seems to be pretty popular, there are about 5 other similar sanders but the Rigid seems to be the best of the group.

I’m sticking with the Bosch until I have a reason to upgrade to something more substantial.

Your neighborhood is really going to the birds. Your neighbor seems like a real turkey.

Looks good, mine also came out close enough that I didn’t have to adjust it.

Ping ponged up a set of Naval Aviator wings and broke in one of my SurfPreps.

Can also use your table saw to do the dado cuts. Will take multiple passes since you don’t have a dado blade but if your fence is setup properly it’s still quick and easy.

My assumption was the fence was there to aid in dust extraction. Love me some dust extraction.

Just ordered a handful of their different blocks. As for the rails, I used the Kreg ones which do have adjustable screws to keep them slop free. Did the superglue attachment method and then screwed them in place.

I would wait 24 hours to safe, or turn the safety feature off temporarily.

I was going to order that or delrin.

Okay for small parts, but really not feasible for doing larger panels or sheets.

Needed some lower profile hold downs. First time cutting plastic, worked great, except the plastic is to flexible to work well for hold downs. Time to see what Amazon has.
