Welcome to KD...let the madness begin :)

My resolution for the coming year is to finish up all the projects I have started in previous years. Projects like inlaying a Bear skull with turquoise, a silver &ivory stamp box, the 23 blades waiting for finishing, a dancing Kachina doll bolo, 8 pr of grips for my NAA revolvers, making...

Yippee!!! I got my package today. Thanks, Teddy

I would also like any information anyone can share on this subject. Computers speak a whole other language to me, and most of it is cussing.

Thanks for the good words, James. It was a fun project.

I bought a HF 4x6 band saw about 2 yrs ago. When I got it, every adjustment was totally out of alignment and the blade was a piece of crap. I replaced the blade with a Lennox blade and spent a lot of time getting the tracking and blade guides adjusted. The time was well spent and now the saw...

Boxed and ready to go...

This is one gathering I am SOOOOO sorry I missed. Looks like you guys had a wonderful time.

I am still climbing a steep learning curve...but I've having a ball and , at my age, that's all that really counts.:biggrin: Merry Christmas and happy holidays to one and all---may you live long and prosper.

I have something called an "Eye-Fi" memory card for my camera. It transfers photos between the camera and the computer wirelessly. Once set up properly (sometimes a chore), it saves a lot of time and hassles transferring pictures. It costs about $80.00 and is well worth it.

I find that I get better results in polishing ferris metals by using a medium hard felt buff instead of a stitched buff. I will sand until I think I have all the scratches removed with one grit. A quick buff on the blade will reveal any scratches. I will then sand those scratches to remove them...

http://www.caswellplating.com/buffs/buffman.htm is a booklet on buffing and polishing. It contains a lot of good information on equipment, supplies, techniques, and safety. Hope it helps (and that the link works )

Welcome to the madness. Lots of great information here.

Great job. Looks like you found a new home. May the force be with you...

About the sizes of the pieces to be stabilized... For example, I have a 4 x 4 x4" piece of wood that I would like to use as scales. Would it be better for me to cut the wood into scale sized pieces first, or stabilize the large piece as a whole. I know the big piece will take longer to vacuum...

http://www.ganoksin.com/borisat/nenam/buffing-material.htm is an article covering the polishing process. Lots of good explanations about buffs and the polishing compounds that go with them. Hope you all find it useful.

Great post...thank you. I'm going to start collecting materials today...
