I had a ZC plate for my Bosch 4100 benchtop saw, but didn't want to mess up the factory plate wit a 45 degree setting so I ordered a pack of ZC tape from Fast Cap. Took longer to open the plastic package than to install. I made a couple of cuts, and it performed well. There are 5 strips in a pack and that will be more than enough for my needs. Herb

About 10/12 years ago, I got a roll of what was called "Turners tape" Double sided tape with a blue plastic separator. It worked really good. I ran out and got some carpet tape with fiberglass fibers in it. Worked ok, but I didn't fully trust it and it was a pain to peel off the backing. I did a search for turners tape and found it, of course, but wonder if it is worth the price. Nearly triple the price of "non turners tape" What do you use and do you like it?

Tried a trick that worked so, I’ll share. I've found that 3M packing tape makes great masking tape. Today, I needed to protect some maple from stain. The maple was a 5/16” strip alongside a wide piece of mesquite. I knew painter’s tape wouldn’t cut it. But I was able to get the fine edge of the packing tape dead on along the joint. Now, most stains are much thinner than paint and, even though I sealed the edges with finger pressure, I wasn’t confident of that seal. So, I borrowed Phyl’s hair dryer and heated the tape, pressing behind the dryer with a tongue depressor. Crossed my fingers and applied the stain. When the tape came off, not a speck of stain had gotten past that tape. And, it’s great for wooden cauls, too.

Purchased a roll of this a while back for some project. Cheap, made in USA... Have not found anything yet that it will stick to. Tried to tape a couple pieces of insulation together yesterday, Kraft paper - would not even stick to paper! Cal

I have the parts. This is my first spindle turning project. A warm up for my shaker rockers and chairs. Not much right now. Legs to the right, rungs in the center, and four fails on the left. I used some of this 10/4 cherry to get the parts from. The parts pre turned. Right now I'm building a small drill press jig to bore the rung holes into the legs with. I'll check in later!

This post came across my Facebook feed yesterday. I don't know if you need to be a Facebook user to see it or not. I made a "Make a Chair from a Tree" chair a long time ago and used this technique to weave its seat. Susan is Ernie Conover's wife and an artisan in her own right. Ernie teaches, writes, and does consulting work in woodworking. Susan is a "fiber artist." Coincidentally, their shop & school is right across the road from the Boy Scout Camp I went to as a kid. No longer a camp.

Still cleaning my shop guys! Ya I know, been on this adventure for three weekends now and I am still finding items of great interest in the dark reccesses of my humble abode. Many years ago, I came back from my duty station in the Army on a two week leave, during those two weeks I helped Dad on a few woodworking projects and we pulled out this Craftsman 100' tape to measure something, I think we were doing some layout for some garden trellis or something, and during our work a screw came lose, the whole thing came apart and the tape jumped out and landed in a big heap of a tangled mess, it is a steel tape so it was just a big springy mess on the ground. He was ready to trash it on the spot, it was his Dad's, so the tape goes back a bit in family history, though I am not sure how old it is exactly. But I saved it from doom, I jumped on it and told Dad to back off! It can be saved! Well, I rolled up the steel tape on itself, and put the tape and the case into a plastic bag with the hopes of reviving a bit of family history later on. So yesterday, about 25 years later I came across this old plastic bag, with the tape still in it. It was still jacked up, and I was in the mindset yesterday to sit down in my patio, spread the tape out, and figure out how to put this back in it's case and get the wind up crank to work again. I got the tape back in ok, the wind up mech works but I am still missing something that holds the mechanism in place, but at least the tape is home and happy now. I love this old tool, it's in primo condition, and ol grandad owned it, so it's even more special. It is well made, Made in the USA, Sears and Roebuck, when Sears was great. It still even has the original plastic case. I love it, because when you see the tape in the case, it looks all messed up, old and tattered, but when you pop the cover off the case, a jewel is residing inside, kind of like a pearl in an oyster. Oh yes, and did I mention the case is covered in leather!
