  1. Routing grooves in 4x4 wood post

    That doesn't look deep enough. For a 1/2" 4' x 8' panel, going into grooved posts, those grooves should be about 1.5" deep. Where'd you get that old looking post or is that the junk practice piece ?? Keeping it straight is like I said, keeping safety in mind first..... but concentrate on...
  2. Routing grooves in 4x4 wood post

    Is it a plunge router, so you can set your depth and lock it in ?? Just be careful and practice on an old scab piece first. Your main concern will be to keep the fence/guide right up against the outside of the post. If that varies, you'll have a crooked rout. Once the rout takes shape, it's...
  3. Aluminum Welding

    You can learn overnight. It's how good do you want to become ?? I never got any good at it, but I have a guy who is a master at it and his real job, has nothing to do with welding whatsoever. It's a sideline for him, now.
  4. Canvas for scroll signs, and best material(s) for door hangers?

    Wow, just wow............ something like that upset you so much ?? Really struck a nerve, huh ?? However, when you come to this place, one needs to understand, not only do your questions or requests get answered or discussed, but many other things which play into the overall situation. What...
  5. One man shop growing pains

    :roflmao: I forgot the terminology has changed over the last buncha years. I forgot what the title of this thread really meant. I didn't realize this thread was off limits to females. What about the other 58 genders on file, now ?? Can't they mingle, either ??

    So..... ?? Doesn't she count ?? Seriously.
  7. One man shop growing pains

    How can you be a one-man-shop, if you have an employee/helper ?? Doesn't that add up to........ two people. :pops_blinking: :jr:
  8. Discussion Pricing your print/jobs/installs >>MEGA Thread<<.

    Do these calculations or formulas work for onesies and twosies as well as for multiples of 1,000s or 10s of 1,000's ?? How accurate will this thing be, if someone has growing pains ?? Personally, I can see the need for having some things cataloged or figured out ahead of time, but with so many...

  11. Routing grooves in 4x4 wood post

    Signage, a few weeks ago, you came out, saw your shadow....... now you're supposed to go back down for 6 more weeks and sleep. No need for your sleepy dumb comments. Go back in your hole.
  12. Routing grooves in 4x4 wood post

    I have 3 routers. All for doing different things, but the big one would do that in 3 passes, and maybe 2, but why tax the motor to save 2 minutes per post ?? Seriously, if time is yur thing, it takes a few seonds to make a mark to where your flange is gonna go. You turn on the router and go...

  15. Routing grooves in 4x4 wood post

    The customer doesn't hafta buy it. We're talking $250 or $300. Why not buy a router ?? It'll come in handy for so many things. Be a great investment, regardless of who buys it. His method is making an outside cut, then, an inside cut and a few more and then you chisel the middle out. That...

    Welcome to s101. Could the handicap be causing you to tremble ?? If not, it could be many things. The most common reason for being unsteady is just not knowing what you're doing. In other words, you're not sure where you hand/holding the brush is supposed to go and it takes longer, thus...
  17. Routing grooves in 4x4 wood post

    Oh yeah, make it a plunge router..... and get a plunge straight router bit. Get several bits and be prepared.
  18. Routing grooves in 4x4 wood post

    Get a big enough one. Don't try and go through in one swipe. Mine's old, but something nice is to have a step gauge on it. That way, you can pre-set your 3 heights for each pass. Use a 5/8" bit. 9/16" won't do it.They're loud, too and make a lotta dirt. One last thing, be sure there are no...
  19. Meeting with corporate buyers

    Oh yeah, I keep forgetting you're only 3'2".
  20. Routing grooves in 4x4 wood post

    If that's directed towards me, the metal one is a fence. The wooden one is on on there to keep it level while in storage and keep the bit from hitting anything.
