4. release the drill press quill, slide the shim under the plane. This will give the correct depth, clamp the plane against the fence.

That right there was worth the price of admission today!  Great tip Herb, and one I will remember for sure.

 

On your stamp, are you using ink or paint with it?

Pay no mind to those at the top, they are the rejects,they are for my use.

I'm a reject too Herb.  

Herb, I have an idea. How thick are your insignia disks? What's the diameter?

Your no reject, Larry, I love your work and posts. That PC build you did was absolutely brilliant, and turned out gorgeous.

Herb,

I'm somewhat back to the I don't draw plans stage with the desk. My new monitor is 1.5" to wide to fit into the desks hutch. 

But the difference in the quality of the view more than makes up for this minor setback.

I've been looking through my "Junk Stash", and I've got something going on in my mind that I think will out do that one! 

 

Besides that the wife needs a desk for her PC. 

That is what I mean, Larry, your mind is like an eggbeater, it whirls around ideas and spits out great looking and working recipes. Keep it up I love it, you give others like me ideas to think about.

My Mother used to smack me in the head when I screwed up.  I always wanted to gets something that looked like brains and throw it on the floor and say, "look Mom, my brains came out."

 

Knowing my Mother wouldn't work.  I can hear her now, "Put your BRAINS back in your head!!! Have you lost your MIND???"

Yeah that would get my Father warming up his arm for the belt.  He went for distance, like in golf, going to make the hole in one from 1,000 yards away with one swing.

Cal. it is a ink stamp pad, I think it is permanent ink.

Gene,I am using a Bosch hole saw from a kit of hole saws, they are all metric sizes. So I matched it with a forstner bit ,the closest I had was 1 1/16",it is close to 1/64 larger than the ID of the hole saw. When I sand the waffer after it is glued in place I let the tiny gap around it fill with sanding dust just wipe it off before I put finish on. If I blow it out there is a noticeable void showing.

I would have thought that shellac would mess up ink as I have used DNA to remove sharpie marker lines.  Good to know that it doesn't.

Thanks, Herb. How thick are the wafers? Can I find the dragon fly stamp on line. I'm thinking of running a sheet of them through the laser for you.

WOW That would be fantastic, Gene.If I can't maybe I can mail you a copy of the stamp.

The wood I use is about 3/32", I know you don't use a ruler, so it is more than a 16th and less than an 8th.

@Cal

I stamp the bare wood,let the ink soak in and dry for a few minutes, then SPRAY on the Shellac from a spray can. I was concerned with it like you were, that brushing might smear the ink, so went to the spray.

 

Herb

Thanks, Herb. I think 3/32" is about five playing cards. 

 Stamping a few (just in case) on plain typing paper would do the trick.
