Jaager got a reaction from mtaylor in Thinning water based paint
Rather than a heat gun, a box with 100- 200-300 W of incandescent lights and a muffin fan or computer cooling fan
would reduce the relative humidity and speed water evaporation. The light wattage level = the settings to dry faster
but not too fast, and you could do something else as it drys.
I seem remember seeing photos of auto paint rooms with banks of heat lamps -- but that paint is solvent based, so drying rate
there is probably a completely different equation.

Guessing that you are asking about AliExpress
Under Home Improvement
is tool
try 12V DC motors
and drill chucks
also have water stones
They have low cost flex shafts with 1/4" sockets and chucks that mount there.
I needed for 1" / 2" / 3" bowl sander tools (hook & loop media mount) ( PeachTree)- but I
bit the bullet and bought a Kirjes flex shaft from Lee Valley to finish inside frame bevels
instead of the low cost Chinese tools.
The cost is generally very low at Ali - and mostly they are reliable - shipping is surface post and
not too long. There were a couple of mistakes- and instead of a refund - I got some sort of something
for a cell phone - a device that I am mostly a Luddite about.

Small DC motors with chucks =
AliExpress a commune of sorts in China
Marlin P Jones motors, wires , and a DC 2A power supply that is 3/4.5/6/7.5/9/12 V with banana plug and gator clamp wires - no need for batteries
and speed control from power supply @ $17 it would not take many batteries for it to be cost effective

The General version has been on Micro Mark for a while. There is a Jacobs chuck that fits it, so
wire gauge bits can be used with it.

Jaager got a reaction from Gregory in Roger B. Taney rigging and sail plans
Roger B Taney
Revenue Cutter
Launched 12/26/1833
Isaac Webb design
LBP 74.5"
Beam 20" 8.5"
Depth 7.5'
Howard I Chapelle drafted a hull plan and it is available from The Smithsonian
They also have spar plan for the near contemporary Revenue cutter Jefferson and one for the Revenue cutter Washington.
Since Jefferson may have been a sister, this plan may be close enough.
Chapelle provided the following data on his plan of the Taney
Help for the details may be available in one or all of the following books:
LEVER,L DARCY
EDWARD W SWEETMAN CO
NEW YORK
1963
MASTING - RIGGING
ART OF RIGGING, THE 1848
BIDDLECOMB,G
EDWARD A SWEETMAN
NEW YORK

MASTING AND RIGGING
KEDGE ANCHOR, THE 1876
BRADY,WILLIAM N
MACDONALD AND JANE'S
LONDON

MASTING AND RIGGING
SEAMANSHIP 1862
NARES,GEORGE S
GRESHAM BOOKS
SURRY
1979
SEAMANSHIP
19TH MASTING RIGGING SAIL
Rigging Period Ship Models
Petersson, Lannarth
Seaforth
2011
I have not looked at the books to see which are really helpful for a small vessel like this.

Jaager got a reaction from mtaylor in How serious do you get about dust protection
From the pictures, there seems to be a very important component missing:
The plus added to your vac system by having a passive cyclone dust separator inline
is difficult to over state. Very little reaches the body of the vac. I too have an Oneida
Dust Deputy. I got one on sale, but it is worth list.
An RCV switch - garage door type unit to turn on power to the vac - is very handy.

Jaager got a reaction from Canute in Walnut or other similar uniform dark brown woods?
The dust from a bandsaw is a somewhat minor aspect. There is a vac port.
With a cyclone trap, the vac filter does not clog nearly as often. For me, it is
the blades.
A table saw has finer teeth, and higher velocity, so the dust is a lot worse.
A thickness sander IS dust.
A real advantage with a bandsaw is that if you have access to rural areas, and a
chainsaw, wood can be harvested on the hoof. Species can be obtained that are not
available commercially.

Why not use an aqueous aniline wood dye?
Wood Craft has pre mixed concentrates that can be mixed to
produce a continuum of possible shades.
Test it on your available wood stock to find the best compatibility and result.
With a deep penetrating dye, the grain is not hidden.
Given your location, have you checked out:
