Sawmills and Milling / Re: Whatcha Sawin' 2024 ??
Last post by Rhodemont - Today at 07:09:51 AMStarting my 20 ft Tulip Poplar logs for 4 x 10 rafters. This log yielded three rafters and some jacket boards. As I expected the pith centered rafter is flat. The two off center have about 1/2 inch curl away from the center. They will be stacked with curl down then a big log set on top for weight. 26 more to go.

Last post by NewYankeeSawmill - Today at 06:56:06 AMQuote from: doc henderson on April 05, 2024, 09:56:19 AMmany use Corell draw and develop the art in a gray scale and then send to the engraver that is essentially a printer.
Wow, Corel Draw?!?!?! You got a copy of Freehand somewhere's, too?
Sorry, you're talking graphic design and print applications! You're in my world now, sucker!
Corel draw is a vector based drawing program that can handle bitmaps (pictures), but is non-native and cannot manipulate pixels at all. You'd be better off using Photoshop (or Gimp) to edit and manipulate a photograph or image. Corel draw (and vector programs in general) are great for type and line work, but all of this discussion is limited to the output resolution of your imaging device (e.g. the laser's resolvable resolution).

General Woodworking / Re: Watcha Makin'?
Last post by aigheadish - Today at 06:52:33 AMThanks guys.
I have an assortment of inserts, the one I planned to use is a 3/8-16. This is the assortment:
The shaft is steel and hollow. I'm guessing but I'd say there is only about 1/16" of meat to work with, but it may have some wiggle room length-wise, meaning I could cut it a bit shorter if needed, maybe only an inch or so.
I'm going to have to go through my supplies because first thing I thought of this morning was welding a bolt to the shaft and grinding it down to smooth. Not sure if that works.
This is what it looks like, the shaft does not fit inside the insert but I could sand it down a bit.

General Board / Re: Making it through another ...
Last post by aigheadish - Today at 06:37:55 AMMaybe consider having some card scraper projects... Doing the finishing touches on a stool or something with a finely tuned card scraper will appear that you are doing magic to a lot of people.
I feel like I've suggested it before but I say stool kits for parents/grandparents to build with kids would be a hit.
Also, somehow I missed your posted pictures of the racks in the trailer, that looks great!
Once the moving blankets are in there providing some padding will you be able to minimize some of the straps? I'd think just a strap or two across the whole lot might hold things well enough.

The Outdoor Board / Fishin
Last post by doc henderson - Today at 05:46:35 AMthought this thread might "catch" on. here is a catch the man would have liked to have thrown back but could not. 
NP numbed it up and pulled it out. fishhook in the turtle and the man. The turtle felt the same way about the man.

General Woodworking / Re: What up Benches?
Last post by doc henderson - Today at 05:30:44 AMa few more pics to add. Jake won the Custom Sawyer trivia contest at the project. here he is in all his glory, holding down the bench, unable to make it rock despite all his superpowers.
And here is a member Howard or @WV Sawmiller putting on a brave face, after seeing a bench leg can be hand sawn and not wobble depending on the spot on the concrete... and a touch up with a flapper wheel on a side angle grinder.
Presented with a challenge coin from our EMS to say thank you and honor his service in the military.
