I like it, very well built..
Sweet ...congratulations Merry Christmas
Dontcha love power tools? LOL
You be about ready ,glasshopper! :laughing:
Yeah you gonna need dust collection for sure.
Did you have a smile on your face when they delivered it.
You might as well just go ahead and order some glass from Mr. Kenny.
Which model did you get?
Man half your luck, what a great machine to have.
Gratulerer :) Now you can sand off and get rid of the ugly nodes on that Bamboo. Seriously, I do not have such a machine, but have an idea for a experiment. Here goes, grind or powerplane a perfectly flat board say 72" long. Glue two tapers with the thin ends butting in the middle of the board. Get some of the hard blue building foam and cut exact strips, place the strip on top of the tapers and place a bamboo strip nodes DOWN and run it through the sander. One could of course use the blue foam strip only one time, but the foam do not cost much. One could plane or grind the Bamboo strip too nearly finished dimension and use this way at last to get a "hopefully" perfect result. May have to glue a strip of sandpaper on top of the tapers.After having placed the Bamboo on the foam strip a flat board could be used to press the Bamboo strip into the foam sligthly. This kind of foam do not spring back After having been indented. There is always a chance in a blue moon that one of my ideas work. Bue--.
It's the GO459 12" baby drum model.
LOL Bue, Bowjunkie and I have been pondering how to taper boo on a drum sander. I was thinking of a 72" board with a channel routed out of the center. Then pack the channel with a medium dense foam and push the boo down into the sand:)Then run a screw into the ends of the boo. The screw would hold the boo down into a flat position.. I'm full of redneck idears too.. LOL
Roy and Bue,
I use the blue foam to run through my thickness planer.
This is for just parallel boo.
No need to push the nodes into the foam. And you can use it many times.
The big challenge would be keeping the layers from shifting.
Looks all professional over there Roy.
Have fun!
I hear through the grapevine you've got a glass shipment coming, Roy?
Yup a case of 12 ounce Coors light in bottles :)
Wow, you get yours delivered!
Good answer GLASSHOPPER! :)
Hey Roy the best way I have found so far to remove the back of the boo is I took an electric hand plainer and clamped it upside down in a vice and turned it on and ran my boo across it like a jointer. It got it almost all the way down to where I needed it. Then finished it up on a belt sander. Its the best way I've tried so far.
D, I have a jointer and have been prepping boo for years on it:) Also have a power planner too..
LOL, Kenny ole boy:)
Oh man I'm jealous! Wish you did glass so I could get your review on it! Thinking that one of these might be my next big (for me) investment! Congrats on the new toy!
Glass? What is glass? :)
It's like A-boo...but different....
That's quite the set up, Roy, but I'm still trying to figure out how you wound up on Mrs. Santa's "nice" list. Want some birds eye maple? Bet it would look good under clear glass. :laughing:
I'll take the maple without the glass:)
Trade you for some osage. :)
Let me know how you get that thing to work some boo. I've smashed a couple good pieces experimenting with the stuff on similar equipment.
