Yes, I remember the post, but also don't remember from where. I also remembered thinking that it was way too extreme for those of us who use the Shopsmith for more than lathework. With the blocks or boxes, you can kick them out easily enough and get it back to original size. What I need to buy is a...

Exactly my impression, too. Spookey close to Norm's format, only she did not wear plaid or a beard.

How are you going to differentiate her from Norm? How do you intend to "brand" her??

You might also want to use good clamps to anchor your saw AND the tubing so that nothing can go flying.

I sure agree about the cut-off wheels being great. I was really thinking about that more in terms of Eggy's needs to cut tubing. The wheel would seem to me to be a little safer, certainly won't throw carbide teeth! :D The wheels do cut pretty hot, so they might discolor the tubing some, or maybe ev...

Another thought...

If you've got a chop saw, why not invest in a cut-off wheel for it? I did that for cutting some steel tubing a while back. It worked. MUCH faster than a hack saw, and a lot closer to square, too. :)

One of the other listserv type forums has an interesting feature that addresses this hope. It's a pretty nifty little mappy thing where those interested can go and put their marker on the group's map so that others can search anywhere in the world for members from that group. http://www.frappr.com/...

Nicely done, fjimp. Nice joinery on the corners. Two things: If I were to use this for my turning, I might be tempted to put holes in the bottom of the tray so that I could put more tools in one place and still have space for my abrasives. Second thing. When you want to place a picture in your post...
