VPI Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 CNC decided to quit communicating with the VFD for the spindle so dead in the water while I was hoping to do the new ToolsToday spoilboard today. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 New VFD should be here today. Hopefully this one will last longer than three months. In other news, found this sweet bandsaw on marketplace and I am thinking about upgrading. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 Is the seller Fred Flintstone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 Is Fred one of those YouTube woodworkers I keep hearing about. The light switch seems so much easier than turning on my bandsaw. Would be nice to be able to cut wheels to fit any bandsaw blade I find while dumpster diving around Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 Managed to make the clamps for the CNC, but have not figured out how to make the spoilboard. Having a 16x36 table with only a 13x25 cutting area makes shrinking the Tools Today spoilboard to work and actually line up kind of difficult. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Finished the spoilboard. Not exactly what I wanted, but the only way I could maximize real estate on the small CNC. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Finished the new drill station, which meant I get to trash one of my earliest builds, back when I just got the Track Saw and had nothing else. Just need to add some kind of finish, cut out a power cable hole or two and put a cleat on it. Edited July 26, 2022 by VPI 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Trying to design a tray for CNC bits. Can fit many more if I stand them up, but then I need a deeper drawer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) The middle one shines 1800 meters, the big one does a flood of 12k Lumens and the little one is too cute not to buy. Obviously. Edited July 31, 2022 by VPI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Do any of the chainsaw blade sharpening jigs work at all, or just keep buying new chains whenever you happen to find a bullet lodged in a tree 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swt61 Posted July 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Short answer: Yes. But as Jeff wisely suggests, that's something that I would gladly pay to have done. There must be a number of good sharpeners in your area. Ask the butcher at your local grocers. He'll have a good name. Or ask the guys at Woodcraft. Wait, isn't Tobe Hooper in your area? Surely he'll know who to call! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 Working on party favors for a little headphone/craft beer nerd get together this weekend. Took forever to cut the 3D rendering of the logo but all done and used the new keyhole bit to cut keyholes for mounting on the back. Putting sealer on tonight so I can finish with boat varnish tomorrow. Then just add the bottle openers and done. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 Cool! I didn’t realize there was a 3d version of the HC logo… cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted August 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 There was a 4D version, but Brent ate a biscuit... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 I drove past this sight and had to turn around and take pics. Thickest and largest slabs I've ever seen in person. As I drove away, I saw the stump where this big boy came down. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
