My wife does a little British Regency stuff......

Baron Conal

oops... forgot the photo of the blade.

the blade is no where near as dark as it looks here

Baron Conal

I've got a knife to make...

I've covered step's one and two....

1. Decide you want to make a knife.
2. Get a blade blank.

now what?

Wood? Bone? Those cool little decorative tin pins in the handle?

This is my first knife and I'm not sure where to go from here....

Whatever you're making, chances are I want one.

You make such nice things.......

thank you.....

Baron Conal

Check the table for true end to end, and corner to corner hte long way. If it's _not_ true (one side is lower on the adjustable side) you can often shim them. Check the blade housing carefully for bearing wobble.. that will simply piss you off if it occurs. (Don't how how big a jointer you have dea...

I've still got this one.... maybe now that camping season is
either here or close at hand ( depending on where you live )
someone might be interested....

Woot dude!

Sometimes modesty should be saved for those that most
deserve it. For this you are allowed to be proud.

( tell them I said so if they don't like it )

Baron Conal

My memory is a little fuzzy I rember seeing one with a wrench or spanner on the end for ajusting the lance rest or other bolted on pieces for the joust. A chain with a wench on the end? I think you have the wrong forum... I've though about it..... but never gotten to a point of seriously considerin...

a word of warning caps store a charge for a while so dont touch the contacts for a few minutes after having turned the power off lol that warning really isn't necessary for me. I knew that. I use to work at a Radio Shack. We would charge up a smaller capacitor and do the "Hey catch!" joke...

Baron Conal

Yep, that's a starter cap alright. Specifically a 243 microfarad cap... I'll go look at Grainger and see what they have in a similar size. Jason [edited to add] Starter cap Another starter cap Either of those should work. Or you can dig around the grainger site and find something more to you're lik...

Baron Conal

I'll get some photos and numbers for you soon.... Take the cover off the capacitor? ( it does have one... ) I've got it to run but I cannot get it to start under a load. I can even get the motor started and then get the whole thing running without issues ( the motor is mounted to a board that has a ...

It's a Delta Rockwell Model# 654 6" jointer. Manufactured in September of 1953. Manual on the way. Connie at Delta was helpful and friendly and not Indian ( meaning I could understand her easily ) Table is mostly polished, blades are still sharp enough to cut my finger....... still need to get ...

How do I check that?

Baron Conal

any chance of getting video?

Baron Conal

Got me a new toy! More photos later, batteries in the camera were crapping out on me.

Great. If our friend from Ottawa is not taking both (or if you want to make another one) I'll take one in the armor stand configuration please. Please let me know the total with shipping to zip 20850. Thanks! Glaukos I've got a couple other projects/ commissions before I do banner stands again. But...

Never said he was obligated, just offering advice.

His answer of "no" in this case tells us so little as to be useless.
Any clarification would assist us in understanding the point he
wished to make.

Baron Conal

Is this it?

Conal I am confused, What comes with the "Armor stand" version and what do I need to add...? Thanks! Glaukos 'Shoulders', 'hips', a 'head' and feet..... or whatever you tell me you need based on your armour. All the parts shown that are not the base itself ( and not painted red ) All that...

I've got two unfinished pine banner stand bases.

No, but I was probably way too simplistic and blunt with those comments.

I missed your prior comment.... or did not have any

what a wanker....

Now I do not feel insulted.....

Just mildly amused.

I'm trying to decide if I have been insulted.

Ok.... I went back and re-read what you posted and what I posted. I may have over-reacted and put a few things a little too bluntly. You are right you didn't say those things. You did say things that could have implied them though. I also didn't say that you did. I did't mention you at all in my pos...

ummm.... just checking

You didn't prefer it AND you didn't actively dislike it? Is that
what you are saying?

You have no strong feelings either direction?
