    Digital protractor

    Ron Altier replied to Cal's topic in Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety

    I bought one very similar at HD made by Husky. It has been great and very precise. One feature I especially like is the on/off switch. It slides and disengages the battery. Most have a micro switch that easily turns on with a touch. A touch you didn't realize you did. That leads to dead batteries.

    Easy Build Shooting Bench

    Ron Altier replied to Monkey Paws's topic in General Woodworking

    Hey, that is nice. Great job. Sturdy, portable and well planned, designed and built. Not only for shooting, you can do your taxes there too!

    I like it, cool. I bet your lathe area looked like Christmas garland too

    Ron Altier posted a topic in Wood Turners

    This is a great video showing the beauty of turned shavings. It is also a great video to show the mess created when turning epoxy and acrylics.

    My brother was in WWII and flew gliders behind German lines. I would have loved to hear about his experiences. However he only shared the good times and only rarely bad times.

    New/old ornament

    Ron Altier posted a topic in Wood Turners

    I found an old drawer pull made of glass, about an inch in dia. I turned some of the red/pink ply and there it is.

    How to hold a small leg in the lathe?

    Ron Altier replied to hawkeye10's topic in Wood Turners

    The problem was holding a small piece between centers to turn down. I have used another method for MUCH smaller pieces making Christmas tree ornaments.. I find true centers on both ends, using the lathe. I then drill a hole with the lathe ( size dependent on dia of work piece) and glue in a hardwood dowel. Now I have a safe, sturdy and centred piece to turn. If the dowell is quarter in dia or less, caution must be used by taking light cuts. After turning I cut off the dowel.

    When I looked at this project, I was amazed how much it looks like one I made in OH. I went to a community garage sale and bought 12 windows for $35. They were old and being replaced, I paid the haul away price. I filled the back wall with one gallon milk jugs, painted black with salt water in them for heat retention. I had 2 benches and translucent roof. I enjoyed it for many years before I move to CO.

Who We Are

Operation Ward 57 Challenge Coin Display Project

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

Air Force Command Center Plaque

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

Patriot Woodworker Volunteers

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

Logging

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.
