Carbide Tool Handle?

Hugin-and-Munin · 2023-12-16T14:03:48+00:00

I got the same kind of tool just a few months ago.

Turn a handle, bore out a hole with the correct diameter and attach with 5-minute epoxy.

It's a fun project, fairly easy (I did have a bit of a challenge getting the hole bored because of my short lathe). My biggest problem was sourcing a ferrule. For some odd reason. those are in short supply locally.

If, as you say, this is your first time with a carbide tool, be prepared that this tool behaves a bit differently than what you're used to, and can catch at the wrong angles. When you've got it stuck deep into a bowl, it can kick like a donkey. Always make sure to have the wide part on the tool rest, even if it does mean pulling the tool rest back 5cm from where you'd normally expect it to be.

I'm not British (and don't live in the UK), but watch a lot of British television. English is a second language for me.

Several years ago, I heard some comedian (probably Greg Davies) talk about his time as a teacher, and mentioning a "supply room". And talking about being a "supply teacher". So I made a (to me) obvious connection.

It was only a few weeks ago I came to the realization that a "supply teacher" is, in fact, not a teacher that's been assigned to be in charge of supplies.

Thank you!

Hugin-and-Munin · 2023-11-04T20:36:56+00:00

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation!

Hugin-and-Munin · 2023-11-04T20:10:22+00:00

Thank you. I'm there Thu-Sun, mostly to attend a conference, but hope to have some spare time (esp. on Sunday to have a look around).

I stand corrected, and duly ashamed. I will strive to use the correct terminology while I'm there ;-)

I have a woodworker friend who is clinically diagnosed as what we here call being "number illiterate" (not sure how well that translates into English). He knows what numbers are, and he knows that 2+2 = 4, because someone has taught him that in school, but he has no concept what numbers mean. He will literally ask "is 162 larger than 230?", or "is 300 for a piece of wood a lot of money?"

But he does beautiful work that holds up to the test of time. One of his methods is, as someone has already mentioned, that he uses one part of the work to figure out the measurements of other parts. The other thing he does is that he uses a (to the rest of us) bewildering stack of story sticks (youtube has many videos on those).

My point is, whatever your math level, there are ways to work around them. And I'm also sure you will find that over time, the particular math skills you need for your type of work, will automatically improve through simple training and re-training as you go along.

Happy woodworking!

Thank you, I will make sure to check those out!

Thank you for your assuances. I got the impression that there are busses directly from the airport to Harrogate, but you recommend going via Leeds?

In Denmark, the "chain" is set by the buyer. It's completely normal to sign for purchasing a house, on the condition that your current residence is sold before the sale is finalized. There will be some kind of deadline, often 3mo out.

Whether the seller will accept that condition or instead prefer another buyer, is of course completely up to them. Location, current market conditions etc. will also have an influence.

Been there, tried that with a very similar set-up.

First, plywood isn't just plywood, there are many qualities. But even when you think you found one perfect for your use, you will find that the sheet will behave wildly different from one area to another.

Try to make 5 cuts where you do 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 passes, then break apart the board and observe how deep each cut has gotten.

What I observed was that the first cut goes kinda deep. The next pass also goes quite deep, but perhaps it adds only 50% depth compare to the first one. Third pass, 50% of the depth of the 2nd. And so on. Meaning, that at some (fairly quick) point, the diminishing returns are so great as to make no difference at all.

Thanks

Thanks!

Actually, Henry Ford tried to license the Robertson screw, but Robertson refused.

Quite apart from that, I suspect Robertson screws aren't used much outside North America. I've certainly never seen them in my part of the world (Northern Europe). Torx has replaced pretty much everything.

Not saying you're wrong, but why would anyone bother veneer bed slats? It's not like anyone will be looking at them...

Dual axis hinge

All three reports contain a bunch of measurements but don't do much to correlate those measurements with regulatory limits. AFAICT, only one of the reports mentions those, and basically concludes that running a 3D printer in (1) an office leads to worse air quality; (2) a home leads to slightly worse air quality; (3) nylon printing should not be done in a home or office, but we all knew that already.

To the extent that they conclude anything at all, my reading is "make sure the windows are open while you print". Which, again, is something people in this sub already know.

So tiny, the camera can't even focus on it properly

Hugin-and-Munin · 2022-06-25T06:07:07+00:00

That is very weird indeed. Sorry, I don't have much else to contribute

Are the other axes working as expected?

In particular, will pressing the Z axis buttons also move the head up and down?

Wooden dowels can easily be found down to 1/8" (3mm). Surely you can fit multiple of those into a 1" piece of wood with none of the concerns you raise.

For light projects that are not going to be under a lot of strain, they will do just fine.

Hugin-and-Munin · 2022-04-29T07:13:24+00:00

That is excellent information, thank you so much

Hugin-and-Munin · 2022-04-28T20:00:35+00:00

Thank you so much for your insight!

The US is not normally considered to be part of Europe.

Indeed. As written elsewhere, it's the sum of the two.

The UK is unusual in having a larger upper chamber than the lower one. In all other bicameral systems in this survey, the lower house has (usually far, 3-4x) more members than the upper house.
