I agree the P1s is a pretty good option for a lower entry price point. I considerd that, but the advancements and features that the P2s has over it seem worthwhile. Hopefully it will be a printer that will be a good intro for me, yet offer enough potential for me as I learn this art.

I'm just looking to get a first printer and have pretty much decided on the P2S combo and am just waiting until after a bit of travelling to order so I will be home to receive it.

I'd have gone with Grateful Dead's West L.A. Fadeaway.

Years ago we were given my wife's grandmothers old upright piano. It was solid, but had several issues with the workings. I was ready to dismantle it and salvage what I could but my wife decided to invest in having it repaired instead. A piano shop did all the working stuff and I did the...

The winch came from Vevor, its rated for 880lbs on a single line or 1760 doubled. I only planned to use it in the single line configuration so went with the larger unit. They had smaller ones for a little less cash if you don't need that much capacity. The sling set up seems to work pretty...

I have the same sort of crane, but from Princess Auto. I got it to lift a motorcycle up onto a rack and found the hand crank hoist to be far to sketchy for my liking so I upgraded it to a powered lifting hoist. It works much better as I don't have to climb up to operate the hoist and I have a...

I do actually have a few spare chuck keys from an old chucks and drills that wore out and got replaced. The main key is kept stuck to the drill press with a magnet, so not truly a problem most of the time. But I do sometimes play games of hide and seek with myself.

So now I can neither tighten the chuck or start the drill press cause I misplaced the key. :confused: :lol:

It was a three step finish; aniline dye, stain, with oil finish and a coat of paste wax. The cushions for both chairs were made at a local upholstery shop, I lack any kind of talent for sewing.

Yes, I had never done stained glass before, so I took a one day course, bought a few tools and made the glass to fit the doors. I wanted a design that complimented the use of the cherry wood so went with the cherry blossoms in the glass.

A few projects from my workshop over the years. Watch box in lacewood and walnut. Mantel clock patterned after one my grandmother had. Authentic mechanical works with Westminster chimes End grain cutting board walnut with maple and cherry. Bow arm Morris chair and stool in cherry. And...

My garage/workshop hosts a variety of disciplines as well including metal work and woodworking. Over the years I've worked at vastly improving dust capture at the source through various means depending on the tool. The larger machines connect to a piped dust collector, smaller tools get...

I wasn't entirely sure either until I got it up and running. :p It does have pretty high gear reduction on it and it was a higher capacity shredder. The effort required to crank it manually wasn't really that high, it was just the reach to get to it.

I've been wanting to make a power drive for my benchtop milling machine to raise and lower the head on the column since the bench I have it on makes it a bit of a reach to get to the manual crank wheel. I finally found the perfect donor motor and controls from a broken paper shredder. The...

So long as you're OK with letting a Canadian win, I'll be in. It does say no fine print, so assuming that's allowed.

I've spent enough hours under a dash like that to recognize it as a Foxbody. Why the need for the stop on the clutch pedal?

That's the sign of true craftsmanship, knowing no one will see it but making it look good anyway.

Way back in the late seventies and early eighties.

Nice collection of flashes, I spent six years in Air cadets at 185 Olds Squadron. Still have friends from cadets, some who still volunteer with them.

I've used the lock miter bits before and as mentioned, they are fussy to get set up accurately. You will have to use a router table for them, they cannot be used in a handheld router. The joint they produce is very strong compared to a plain miter joint, but is also a bit challenging to glue up...
