Offerman Woodshop. Evenfall Woodworks » Understanding Fractions, The Key to High Accuracy When Measuring. P>I want to have that little talk with you about, Fractions. Yeah. But the plan is, if all goes well, that it won’t hurt – as much as it did last time. Working in sub inch territory usually involves the use of little buggers. The problem many people have when working with fractions, is that they relate the use of the common fraction to their math education experience when they were in school as children. p> p>Our school systems scared the bejeezus out of everyone by forcing us all to learn a series of mathematical exercises, which evolved around fractions that we would never use again in our entire lifetimes. P>I hope I can help make this a lot more user friendly! P>Fractional arithmetic for measurements within the sub inch territory is much simpler than the nightmare a lot of people conceive it to be, because there is a fixed set of fractions that are in use, and memory tricks which you can learn to make well practiced calculations that you can do in your head.

After buying the Harbor Freight 2hp dust collector right after Christmas, I knew I was going to be making some changes to it. First, I dumped the upper bag and added a Wynn 35a filter. Second, I really wanted to put a pre-separator on the unit to keep from having to change the lower bags as often.

But, I didn’t really have a lot of room in my shop/garage for the can. The Delta 50-760 seemed like a good set up with the can/separator underneath the blower, so I set out to imitate that set up. Next came the Thien lid on a 30 gallon galvanized trash can. I did a couple of tests on the unit to see how much was staying in the can and it’s working quite well. BTW: I added weather stripping on the area where the lower bag connects to the donut ring. I hope this helps you guys. Cory -- The secret to getting ahead is getting started.

New Iwasaki Carving Files Rather than producing sawdust waste like rasps normally do, these amazing tools remove tiny shavings that look as if they came from a miniature plane! Traditionally utilized for the fine work required by wooden plane makers, they are also prized by furniture makers and patternmakers for shaping, sculpting, joinery tuning and easing hard edges.

Their claim to fame is removing material quickly like a rasp while leaving a very clean surface finish like you would expect from a file. The Accidental Workbench.
