2021 what did you do today?

[Roy from Pa]

Well today I got the 8" round sander backing plate glued together and tapped.

Have a new motor under the bench and decided to make my own sander, got the arbor adapter the other day.

Made the wood adapter for under the bandsaw table to collect the dust, got to wait for the magnet glue up to dry..

Made a bow stringer for my victims swap bow.

And my manual miter saw was delivered, got a good one, purty nice.

Sent the miniature electric one back, it wasn't gonna do what I needed.

I think he uses a "special" sweetener in his coffee in the morning:)

Doesn't everyone use some whisky in their coffee to get the day started right?

+1. Sounds like at least one or two build threads are required from that laundry list.

Cause? I'm a bit surprised by the complete delam (so to speak) on the belly. There is a hint of a dark line running through the limb, kinda wondering if there was some weakness in the area that let it split parallel to the back/belly and then fold. I thought I heard a tink just before, but running my hands and eye over it completely I couldn't find anything.

This is the last draw pic I have of it @ 24", this folded at 25" on the bottom limb (left in pic).

Anyhoo, onwards and upwards   

[williwaw]

what is that dark spot above the cursor?  The break looks like a tension break, across the crown

[attachment=1,msg2954155]


was looking nice, is it osage? Stained on the back?, Almost looks toasted?

[Roy from Pa]

Damn that sucks.

Seems odd it broke at that dark spot, so I'm guessing there was a problem with the wood in that area.

[Mad Max]

Bummer, you had it bending good too

[Pat B]

Yeah, that's too bad. The full draw pic looks good, especially the left limb.

[Flem]

Fly, what did you do to make that Osage so dark? Looks toasted, especially where it exploded.

Pictures for Maxi-Boy and Shreddy...

Stringer made with deer hide and paracord.

There are several ways to make a stringer, this is only one of them.

I cut a piece of deer hide or any leather into a 3 inch diameter circle, then cut it in half. Then fold one piece over and punch 4 holes into the bottom flat edge. Then I weave the paracord through the holes and bring out about a 6 inch tag end. I tie both sections of the paracord into an overhand knot leaving about an inch space from the leather part. Then I punch 4 holes at the top and stitch that with sinew, that gives ya a little edge to grasp onto.

This is for the bandsaw, seen this on YouTube a while back.

Magnets counter sunk into the wood with glue, might not need the glue cause I had to tap them in with a hammer and block of wood. Slots cutout for the blade clearance. Cut down an end for my shop vac hose. There is a 1/2" deep void under the saw table that will leave a channel into the shop vac hose.

[attachment=4,msg2954202]

This last picture they look to be a different size, but they are identical in size. Looks different cause the piece with the hose attachment has it raised up 3 inches off the table.

Sander backing plate I made, bought the arbor for the motor.

Have a good new motor so decided to try a project.

It's not completed yet.

When done the bolt sticking out the right side is going to be counter sunk a 1/16th of an inch then ea40 to make the depression smooth.

And Kenny, just watch your fingers boy, don't wanna see comments from the peanut gallery:)

[Mad Max]

you did not make that stringer
nice work on the other stuff

[Roy from Pa]

Sanding disc doesn't turn smooth enough, and they shorted me a set screw for the arbor and it's a sloppy fit. Dammit..

Might just buy me a new belt/disc sander, mine is 30 years old and no disc, but not sure if I wanna drop $300.00

[kennym]

$300  ??  Why doncha get a nice one?   

I'm looking at em too. My 30 year old 6" skil is about done.  Hate it too because the tables on newer ones don't seem to be super sturdy
