  Flag Case
Posted by: jteneyck - 12-03-2024, 01:47 PM - Forum: Woodworking - Replies (5)

I made this cherry flag case for the relative of a friend to honor a family veteran. The case is 26 x 17 and uses simple mitered corners and slip tenons (I think) to reinforce the corners of the removeable front. The finish was 5 wiped on coats of Waterlox OSF, and it could have used several more as that stuff is very thin, followed by rubbing the outside with brass wool to get a satin sheen. I must say, though, Waterlox looks great on cherry.

The front attaches to the case with dowel locators and magnets set into both the case and front. My CNC made that much easier than if I had had to do that by hand.

The glass shop used every bit of the overage tolerance allowed. It is a very close fit. The edges are seamed to avoid getting cut when handling the glass. As you can see, there are keyholes in the back so the case can be hung vertically or horizontally. The inner partition will be covered with whatever cloth the owner wants.

  Remember the 3D chessboard I made a while ago? Now the chess pieces
Posted by: Dumb_Polack - 12-03-2024, 08:31 AM - Forum: Woodworking - Replies (2)

I finished up the chess pieces for the board I made a month or so ago.  I thought about turning them on the lathe, but since some of them would be extremely small, I went the modern route.  I somewhat copied what this guy did:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW6P9rNeIYk

The wood is white cedar (from an old fence post...never throw ANYTHING out!!!) and some 8/4 cherry leftovers.  I weighted each piece with a 1" pieces of steel.


The style isn't my favorite, but it was fun whipping them out.

  Bailey 4 1/2 for sale
Posted by: tablesawtom - 12-01-2024, 06:21 PM - Forum: Tool Swap N' Sell - Replies (2)

I have a Bailey 4 1/2 type 12 for sale. To my understanding, the difference  between a type 11 and a type 12 is the 12 has a high knob. I really do not care about types so I never looked into types, but some do so I mention it because of the high knob.

The plane has ben precision ground and was flat within .001 when ground. The plane is probably at least 100 years old and the casting stress is pretty much been relieved so it is probably still flat with in .001 or better. It has been stripped and repainted The knob and tote are both rose wood and have been refinished. The knob has a opts as can be seen in a picture. The blade has also been touch upped reground so there is no pitting at the blade and it need no or very little flattening. 

The frog has a solid face as can be seen in the photos and it is a sought after plane because there is no side play at the front of the frog making it easier to adjust the blade side to side. The blade is sharp but can probably use tune up.  This was my user until I got a Keen Kutter K4 1/2

It is ready to work right out of the box. I had a roof leak and have a couple of water spots. it is cosmetic and does not effect precision flatness of the body. I did ask $20less because of a couple of spots

Asking $130 plus shipping. Any way pictures. I do like the first picture to show it completely apart so no struck parts are hidden. One can see the reflection of the spot on the table on the actual surfaces of the plane. and the end of the lateral adjuster is broken off.

   

   

   

   

   

Thanks for looking

  Please help w/Mini-Split choice
Posted by: MstrCarpenter - 11-30-2024, 04:31 PM - Forum: Home Improvement - Replies (5)

I was wondering if anyone has a little time to review/confirm a Mitsubishi 3 head system I have in a shopping cart. My Manual J calculations put the total BTU's about right. The 28' x 38' second floor addition will utilize the existing boiler with F.H.W. baseboard if/when necessary. The project is in S.E. NH.

25,000 BTU 20 SEER Mitsubishi Tri Zone Mini Split Heat Pump System 6+9+12
Model: MXZ-3C24NA3 / MSZ-GL06 / MSZ-GL09 / MSZ-GL12 ID: 8093
Heat Pump Condenser 1 x 25,000 BTU Mult Zone Condenser
Zone 1 1 x 6,000 BTU Wall Mounted Mitsubishi Mini Split GS Series - Air Handler
Zone 2 1 x 9,000 BTU Wall Mount
Zone 3 1 x 12,000 BTU Wall Mount

Specifically, I can't seem to find a good reason for the different (newer?) model 6k wall unit. Are they better? Should I try to get them in the 9 and 12K flavors?

The price point seems to be good at $4k. Package comes with 3 remotes. I've already ordered the line sets, wall mount, wiring, ect.(less than $1k). They should be here today; I have to get them installed on Monday to beat the insulation crew.

Obviously this isn't my primary occupation, but I've installed a few (shy of a dozen) mini-splits with no issues after several years. This is my first multi-head install. BTW, no license req'd. in NH.

  DW735 OEM Planer Blades
Posted by: CharlesinSEA - 11-30-2024, 02:18 PM - Forum: Tool Swap N' Sell - Replies (2)

Got a good deal on a helical cutter head so now have 3 sets of brand new unopened DeWalt DW735 planer blades (9 knives total, 18 cutting edges).

Looks like these go for around $50/set retail. Let's start off at $90 shipped to Continental US for all three.

If you want the cutter head you can have that for the cost of shipping and I'll throw in the blades that were on it (one unused side... I think?). Or local pickup in Seattle, WA area.
PayPal preferred, can do Venmo or check as well (or cash if local).

  Where can I find a Three Mountaineers Spice Rack print?
Posted by: Dumb_Polack - 11-30-2024, 10:01 AM - Forum: Woodworking - Replies (2)

Hi,

The enclosed spice rack was a wedding gift for my in-laws back in '65.  I've built the rack for our daughter as a Christmas gift, but I can't find the print for the inside and outside anywhere.  Looking as Etsy and Ebay and the Googler, I can buy the entire cabinet, but I just was the prints.  Got any good sources that will have the prints?  Thanks!

  Kreg Mortise mate
Posted by: JDuke - 11-29-2024, 12:32 AM - Forum: Woodworking Power Tools - Replies (10)

Looks like kreg has entered the loose tenon joinery game.

Just saw a video for the Kreg Mortise mate, looks like they are trying to make a version of the loose tenon drill guide that Jessem sold as the mortise mill.

I have personally had a bunch of different ways to cut tenons over the years.

2 hollow chisel mortises and before that a drill press adapter kit.
The woodtek matchmaker multifunction but did mortises.
The Leigh FMT.
Several dowel jigs even one really good one that was over $200
The pantorouter by Mathias wandel, built one and then bought a used one.
Several router jigs,
The Jessem mortise mill.

These were all things I bought trying to avoid spending the high price of the Festool Domino.
As you can see, I would have been ahead on cost just buying the Festool, unless you consider that I did make a profit buying and selling some of the above.  But I still have the pantorouter, the Jessem (in a box collecting dust hasn’t been used in years), and the dowel jig.

Eventually I did break down and found a used DF500 domino and bought it for about 2/3 the cost of new at the time or about $800
That was my first Festool, and since then I have bought several more.  

If you’re on a tight budget, I can see the value of the Kreg but at $300 if your budget is that tight, you probably would be better served with a good router jig.

Just my opinion, for what it’s worth.
Duke
