I will be late if I make it at all today.
See you if I see you.
Tried to join but only had video, no sound. If anyone has any ideas on what might cause this can you please let me know. Running an Android tablet.
Sounds like the volume is down? Or maybe the app is muted? I'm not familiar with Android or tablet. Are you using an app, or the web version?
Hi Bob, we could see you as well.... i could see your session saying connecting to audio and then it seemed to connect but we could not hear you and i assume you could not hear us.Quote:

You can actually join a test meeting to see if it's all working.
Hope you can join us next week

Thanks for the replies, at least I know the video is working. Installed the app just before the meeting. Will try to work it out for next week.
On the topic of Router table routers at least, i modified my years old GMC platinum to be able to adjust it above the table, part of this involved removing the plunge springs with the benefit that i got more height to change bits above the table.
The wind up section was replace by some custom M12 rod and M12 hex end, both are glued together with suitable epoxy in a m12 coupler that was ground down to fit.
The white plastic in the hollow shaft is actually a 3d printed spacer to center the shaft. The other end screws through an M12 insert nut to provide the positive up/down movement.

The only negative is the hex head fills up with sawdust in use :)
With the mill, the quick simple adapter to use a cordless drill for winding the x/y axis tables was this.

Doing them again i would not do the "pretty" 6 cutouts for the handle, it was dumb as it hurts if you catch yourself when its spinning.
I would add three screw holes for mount screws and tap 3 holes in the handle for a solid connection.
The center bolt could be a Hex head likely pinned in place so the nuts were not protruding.
The idea was the unit could be easy to remove, in practice i never take it off.
Wow another week has passed us by, Tune in today, same bat time, same bat channel.....

Enjoyed meeting up today for the first time, even though it took 3 goes to get the sound going.
For anyone else wanting to use Zoom for the first time these are the things I found out:
- In the device settings you need to give Zoom permission to use the camera and microphone
- Within Zoom itself there are 3 settings to check in the meetings settings:
1) "Auto connect to audio" - set to WiFi
2) "Always mute my microphone" - set to off
3) Not sound related but also important is "Always turn off my video" - again set to off
- Last but still important is to make sure the device volume is set to somewhere well above zero.
I found that after about 5 or 10 minutes things went a bit slow and the connection seemed to drop out twice and then automatically reconnect. This could be due to my tablet being too slow to process the video and audio. If I seem to be unresponsive in future meetings it could be this rather than me falling asleep. :U

Today's discussion touched on wooden boats and I was going to put up links to my build threads but the photos have disappeared from some. Instead here is a single pic of each.

Can't you print it ?
Any suggestions on a 3D printer, less than $500, for doing woody-style stuff?
Maybe from Shop best 3D Printer & Supplies on Banggood
As mentioned in chat - 3D models Thingiverse - Digital Designs for Physical Objects

Good to talk as always. It keeps us sane (nearly).
This is the link I mentioned. In brief the bloke takes an old Oak log, cuts it up with a chainsaw, surface with just a router, makes it into a table and along the way creates his own brass alloy:

I'll see you there. Topic could be what size do i cut pen blanks?
When Bob raised the issue of his small diameter Elm cuttings in todays hook up, we almost immediately digressed into Walnut with indecent haste :rolleyes: . I mentioned that a certain type of hand saw featured Walnut almost exclusively.
This thread identifies the specific use and I make mention of it at the end of post #2. It is also visible in the catalogue descriptions if you enlarge them.
It was a good discussion today, a little philo- sophical at the start, but what do we expect with inspiration from chairman "Phil."
:wink:
Regards
Paul
Ps: Walnut was occasionally used for other saws too. Disston sometimes used Walnut for their early D8 saws and during the WW2 they used it for their Victory saws (D-15s which were marketed as D42 and D43) instead of Rosewood, which became unobtainable.
.......as per standard prattle procedure :U.Quote:

For those that have got this far, I'm not going to make this week so feel free to adopt or ignore the topic :)

Lets not start about English and American spellings; I already know. :wink:
Perhaps it is just as well I can't make today with such an ambiguous subject.
I think it is a good one. As my absentee contribution have a look as this bloke.
