Cleaver idea, gotta try that!

I'm curious, what's the danger?

Looks like 3M filters may not fit. The instructions say "Use only genuine Resp-o-Rator replacement filters". Understandable - if I were Mr. Duxbury, I'd want to keep the filter proprietary, it's a source of continued revenue.

OK, try this: with your green belt off, grab the top of the motor and tug back and forth parallel to the belt. That will tell you whether you've got a loose connection for your motor mount.

Dan, the photos are my way of saying thank you for your hard work and the generous gift.

That is a clever use of a X/Y vice! Here are some thoughts: - All rotating things have vibrational harmonics to varying degrees - that is, there will be a speed at which any rotating shaft will find a point where it will vibrate in relationship to its speed and mass. In fact there is often...

Does the use of a diffuser tube / baffle minimize the differential heat issue? The photo shows my propane fired forge, but I wonder if using a baffle like this in an electric oven would offer more uniform heating? Thoughts?

It's hard to tell whether 3M will fit based on the photo. It kinda looks right, but it's a matter of size. Does the literature that comes with the filter say it's compatible with 3M?

PM me if you would like the photo files sent to you for your use.

Oh, it's good... really good.

Mr. McLeish you are a Skookum craftsman!

Nice, good to see these are available again. Does the new and improved filter directly accept the 3M cartridges like 20XX series bayonet fitting?

Daniel: Here's a few photos I took of your knife, it sure looks good!

Not too sure why you would want to do that. My 110v table top oven heats up to 400F in about 15 minutes and, using a PID controller, holds a steady temperature. I did insulate it with Kawool and that helped stabilize the temp swings. Converting a typical counter top toaster oven to 220v would...

The source of all good things has it - Amazon https://www.amazon.com/s?k=moldable+plastic+pellets&ref=nb_sb_noss Pick your price point, I suspect most/all give the same result. Keep in mind that the stuff is reusable. That block of plastic that I used to locate the pin holes is easily reheated...

This posting is related to an earlier posting I did on Polymorph Plastic and is still a WIP. I want to use this posting to focus on the technique of blind hole location. I'm working on a cleaver handle and want to put an end cap on the handle. There are a bunch of ways to do this, but I wanted...

Daniel, I received your KITH package and I'm truly impressed. What a professionally prepared and packaged knife, I love it! Regarding your last couple of postings, you are much too hard on yourself. Your knife and sheath are exceptional in my opinion and, as they should be, will be put to...

Daniel, that knife looks just fine - and, more impressive you've spilled blood getting it done! I'm looking forward to having one of your creations.

Thanks for the heads-up Daniel, I'm a patient guy. I heard another reason for the post Christmas backup is that a lot of online sellers (Amazon, etc) are offering longer free return periods, thus increasing the shipping traffic. Like Gilda Radner said, "It's always something"

Watch'in close... looking good! I'm jumping the gun a bit, but do you use any kind of bearing in the knife/handle pivot point where the spring is located? Also, to begin making one of these, are there any kinds of starter kits?
