Asked to make an urn |

Guy approached me to make an urn for his daughters horse. Asked what he wanted for wood. Segmented and turned or flat work. Horse was roughly 2200 lbs. He saw a couple of my burls and hinted at that. I told him no to that. He asked me for segmented price told him $1000. Asked about flat work, told him $500 and if a friend wood burned images on either one another $350..
He got a little huffy about my prices. Told him time and size was the big factor and I didn't care if I made him one or not.
He was upset and said I'll find someone else with better prices and probably better work. Fine by me wasn't to interested in doing it in the first place. Wife was surprised I didn't tell him a backhoe would be cheaper or the dog food plant needed raw stock. People cop an attitude on me and my mouth tends to run.

Does anyone have experience with the PSI duplicator? Looking at making a chess set. Templates will be provided a friend who will finish carving them. All said and done I keep the duplicator.

Woodworking YouTubers? |

I was thinking the other day about how much traffic on this forum has declined. I figured that YouTube is probably the first place that people go these days when they want to learn something new. I do that a lot myself...
So.... What YouTubers are you watching that you really like?
Me, I watch a lot of blacktail studio. I don't really care for epoxy tables all that much, but there is something about watching his builds that I find enjoyable.

Rosin stick belt dressing |

For years I've used a "rosin stick" for V-belt dressing for belts that tend to slip under load. It was a size very similar to grease gun tube lubricant, with a heavy paper wrap. Unfortunately it's managed to hide somewhere and I've not been able to find it. So, I did a search for the product, and have not been able to find it anywhere. The rosin stick worked better than any other belt dressing I've tried, held against the belt under power briefly would normally take care of any slipping . Wondering if anyone knows of a source for this product if it's still available anywhere.
