| As you step out the garage door, you are greeted by the front
lines for my shop. The chainsaw rips raw logs so I have
manageable chunks for the band saw. |
This is my home made re-sawing fence, which has served me well
so far. |
 |
 |
| This machine tool I have, I use to mill some pieces flat and
parallel with the milling head. |
a close-up of the milling head with a fly cutter installed, as
well as my power planer, very useful for skinning logs and rough
shaping. The two hand planes are also put to regular use. |
 |
 |
| Another view of the milling head. Pieces are set on the table,
and hot glued with bead fillets which work surprisingly well to
hold work while milling. when finished, the bead fillets are cut
with a chisel and the piece removed. This is very handy for
small pieces. |
This is my intarsia setup. from back to front, a delta
belt/disc sander, a 4 1/2 inch grinder with a sanding disc
installed, a dual action pneumatic sander, and a pneumatic
rotary file with various solid carbide files. |
 |
 |
| This is my Dremel scroll saw, which I have tipped at an angle
so it is less of a strain to look at the cut properly. I have
noticed little difference in manipulation, and the wood has a
tendency to fall away from the blade during idle moments. |
Here are my 6 inch jointer and my thickness planer,
sitting on the floor. I can do
similar work on a sled as with my milling head using the
thickness planer. use shims under gaps, or fill with hot glue
for stability. |
 |
 |
| This is my wood turning equipment, an ancient machinist's
lathe. a few parts, such as the cross feed screw and nut have
been re-machined from stock to replace worn parts. |
A 4 jaw chuck holds the parts, the cutting tools are mounted
on the tee slot top of the compound slide, which is mounted on
the cross slide, mounted on the saddle. MORE on these operations
and setups coming soon. |
