Mighty Mite Mini Table Saw Good or Bad?
captainbob replied to DSiemens's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Sorry for any confusion caused by my earlier post. I was typing when Yambo,s entry hit and I did not see it. It is the saw pictured in the first post that I had trouble with. I have since bought a Proxxon SKF/E and am happy with it. Bob -
Very nice chairs and table, the cabin will be beautiful. Bob

X-Y Attachment for Dremel
captainbob replied to Martin W's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I have the Proxxon mounted to My dremel stand. I had to drill new mounting holes to mount it to the base. It works fine. Bob -
Fine BLING Popeye. Bob

Mario, I just noticed the grommets you put in the sail for lacing. How did you do them? Bob

Nice work, Alfons, Doing things like putting in the sheaves instead of just holes encourages us all to add more detail to our builds. Thanks for the push. Bob

Mighty Mite Mini Table Saw Good or Bad?
captainbob replied to DSiemens's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I wasted my money on one. It is underpowered and stalls out on anything thicker than 1/8 balsa and sometimes on that. Also the height adjustment is hard to set. Bob -
Michael, You could spend many hours in a nice shop like that. Hope retirement does not keep you too busy. Bob

“Cost over runs”? My admiral is into catalog shopping. She doesn’t even leave the house to spend money. Bob
-
Yes, Mario, but it's those "crazy things" that make it look good, and this skiff is really looking good. Bob
-
Nice work area. Bob
-
Thanks to All, Your kindness and encouragement is appreciated. Hope to get building again after honey do list. Bob
-
Very nice. I'd be proud to be seen on the Phylly C. any time. Bob

Here is another one. I bought the Harbor Freight equivalent of Micro-Mark’s small grinder with flex shaft. The shaft hand piece became brittle and fell apart and the grinder was under powered; trying to grind anything would stop the motor. But I found that I had a 3/8” keyless chuck that fit the thread on the right end shaft, and that, plus a support at the far end made a great mast lathe. So maybe it wasn’t such a waste after all. Bob

The "wood strip cutter with micrometer accuracy" sounds great but the #11 blade is mounted too high to prevent it from bending and following the grain of the wood. Bob

Hey Mario, Hang in there friend. Soon the painting and house work will be done and you will be back to building. Love your builds. Bob
-
Looking good. Bob

She's coming together nicely. Good work on the pump. Bob

Tim, Your 80' ELCO is looking good. Bob
-
Popeye, Happy Birthday to your lady. The Philly and Zen are looking great. Almost finished. I'll miss them. Bob

I would tend to agree with you but it is obvious from the pictures the pins were made of wood. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/889-gothenborg-by-popeye-the-sailor-billings-1100-scale/page-8 Click and scroll down. Bob

Ah, yes, the lovely morel mushroom. I used to live in central Indiana. Bob

In Popeye's build of the Gothenburg a member posted pictures of blocks recovered from the wreck (see here) . These blocks from 1745 have wooden pins. When were blocks made with metal pins? Bob
