Every once in a while, you have a job for a glue gun. I had such a job today. I have a small gun for small easy jobs. I have a large gun I got from Sears years ago, I've used it a lot. Today I chose the large one, haven't used it for more than a year or so. I plugged it in and got a coffee. When I returned it had overheated and the glue was coming out with bubbles in it, all by itself. I have never trusted any heating tool to control itself enough to allow it to go unattended for more than a few minutes. I'm glad I didn't today

When you use negative rake, which way to the cuttings go? When I turn resin the normal way, they go everywhere. Into the chuck jaws and streamers into my light, etc.

Not surprised.........all are made in China. I don't always (most of the time) remember what I put stuff in. So these have helped greatly!

Here is a project for you. I have no info, but I think you could figure it out. My wife makes home maid egg noodles, however she insists they must be cut by hand

I used to use pill bottles, just about any thing that would hold things. Then I saw these see thru containers. NICE! You can take the whole thing with you or pick out any single compartment. I have all my "stuff" where I can see at a glance if it is in there. I have some from HF and HD

I like that a lot, now if you have a good place to store it, you have it made. What we need is a system that automatically pulls out our storage boxes on request and when we are done, it automatically returns them to a storage place

John, I read a post asking fellow turners to donate christmas ornaments to a group that paints them. I'd like to email them and see if they would take some of my "not so proud of" finished or partially finished pieces. If they paint over them, they could look good.
Any info you have can help
thanks

My Dr did not like the way my PSA was slowly increasing. Went from 1.5 to 2.5 over 5 years. He insisted I have the cancer test. I got it and had the most aggressive kind of cancer, in the worst stage. They did the Cyber knife, a computer controlled precision radiation treatment. That was 5 years ago and at my last visit, he said I was in the "cure zone"

At one time they said that if you have clear results, NO more colonoscopy check after 75 My Dr informed me that it has been raised to 80 and if you have polyps, more after that. I'd think at 80 something else will kill us first. Maybe a jealous husbands.

The wedge tip screw starter/screwdriver was used in the power plant all the time and still is. Except ours had extended plastic insulation nearly to the tip to eliminate short and shock hazards. I've still have mine and have only used it a couple of times in 20 years. Looks like you have one for every day of the week

I wonder if the high import taxes on Chinese goods figured into this -

Who We Are
We are a woodworking community with an emphasis on sharing and learning the skilled craft of woodworking and all of its related disciplines. Our community is open to everyone who wishes to join us. We support our American veterans and active duty, being a veteran is not a prerequisite to join. Join us now!
Objective
Of course just like most online woodworking communities we are centralized in the arts, crafts, and trades that are woodworking. But, we have another focus in our Patriot Woodworker community, we are the only woodworking community that was founded on our care and concern for our disabled veterans.
Volunteer
The Patriot Woodworkers are an all volunteer community, from the staff and hosts who run our online woodworking community to the members who frequent our forums, you'll find volunteers in all of us. We are not on a payroll, unless you consider the spiritual rewards gained from volunteering, as compensation.
Education
One of the many projects we are working on is a wiki for our online community. A wiki is a great way for woodworkers and enthusiasts to share their knowledge to others, and to impart their knowledge for others to learn from, and utilize as well for their own benefit. We hope you'll consider being a wiki contributor.
