I've had 3 cameras that had the lens cover attached to the camera with a elastic band. Works very well and I never lose them. My Sony lens would pop off when I turned the camera on. My Canon must be taken off manually and that can really confuse me when I am in a hurry, "Why is everything black?" Why not make one and use instant glue to attach without damage.

MWTCA May 2018 'What's It' Project
Ron Altier replied to John Morris's topic in The MWTCA "What's It" Project
I think it was a specialty feeder made for feeding feed/hay to rabbits or some other small pet. Probably for wealthy people in a European country like Germany -

Thanks for posting........i had no idea a tool would break like that........cheap metal and poor heat treating When I first started turning, I bought a set of cheap turning tools from HF. I'm sure you all have seen them. My purpose wasn't to use them as much as it was to sharpen them. I knew that my efforts sharpening them would result in some bad grinding and I didn't want to practice on expensive tools. I did learn a lot and one of the things I learned is that I wasn't very good at sharpening my cutting tools. I did become proficient at sharpening mini tools and with my carbide tools.. ... I am doing good.

I don't really like it much, but if you get an idea and don't try it........you'll never know. You may find a new technique that highlights you whole project................or not so much

I've been the scrap pile again, experimenting with wood and acrylic glitter. The ball is thin pieces of Yellow Hart and Bubinga (I think). The shaft is plain ole pine. I painted the pine and I layered the glitter in thick layers in the crease and allowed to dry overnight, then repeated with the glitter. It came out OK and I think I may have an effect I'll use in the future

Over the years I collected memorialbia from my family and neighbor woodworkers. I have an old hammer from my dad, oil can from a great neighbor, etc. I wanted a wall clock for my shop and decided to make one. Then I decided that I would incorporate all of the things from my past that I had collected. It gets a new addition one in a while from family and I do have to replace the clock batteries, but I like it a-lot

I like that idea of exposed gears. I was going to make one of those primitive looking wooden gear clocks with a pendulum. It would have taken a LOT of work and I am sure it would have UNDER appreciated because it was too mechanical looking to fit in her decor.

"Here lies a good driver that didn't text, But he really didn't where to turn next, Whenever he was confused and in doubt, His wife would tell him what it was all about.

I live close to a Home Depot. I see this kind of load often. The load that makes me think people are just stupid is the small car with so many 2 x 4s on the top that the tires are pressed down and it may be sitting on its springs. Then they tie it with ropes thru the windows and slowly take off. They risk all of their load and possible accidents for $27. That is what it costs to rent a small truck for 90 minutes.

Pick out the straightest ones and consider making a floor shelving stand. Not being perfectly straight can be an asset with wood grained like these are. It would be even better if you can find some small branches with some grain on them for legs. (crooked legs)

Very unique and made by a talented person. I know nothing more than what you see. NICE

Gerald, I couldn't do it your way.................without my wife saying " it needs more of that color or less of that" and OF COURSE........she is always right

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.
