I guess we can't post valid links anymore. IDK!

Clicking on the thumbnail image you posted worked.

I wish mine had the vibrate function.

If I was to design one of these things, I'd have it so it also beeps when it shocks him. It'll make him pay more attention to the beeps.

Menards:

router table $230
Router table with router $130

Harbor Freight:

Router table with router $110 but the "Chicago Electric" router on the display model is such a piece of shit it's motor shaft is not even square with the table.

Lowe's:

3 router tables. $200, $180 & $160

I got the $160 one, it's a Skil

I already have two routers, I don't need a third. Especially some Chinese POS

@Duck this is the one we used. We kept it way down to like 15. It was enough to get his attention and he soon caught on that once he got the buzz/vibration, the next step got him a mild zap. Like you, I put it on my arm to see what it would do. Sorry, I'm no tough guy, that damned thing will make you pay attention. Even down low, I didn't like it, so I guess the dog got the message quickly. It took about 2 weeks for him to realize that when he listens, all was good. Get the vibrations and he knew what was next.

Sheesh, what a link!

@GAnthony your link went to this:

Robot or human?

Not sure what you intended there. But the pictures were cool.

here is the product



he can cut it to length, and wrap it around the remote, cut it to height as well

the vibration is for the DOG, not you

That's weird. I don't see any of the links or thumbnails. Oh well, at least you can see what it is.

I made a piston and cylinder in 2019 and used that stuff for the piston rings.

My sister was here & had a rental car. We had a storm that blew a tree limb down on the rental car. She went & got a dent puller kit but there was one little ding that wouldn't come out.

So I took a scrap of 4" PVC, used a hole saw to make two discs out of 1/4" high density polyethylene as the piston, stuck a bolt through it as the connecting rod, used the weatherstrip as the rings and as a sealing surface to press against the car.

When I yanked out the piston, the vacuum popped the dent out.

Yep! Duck McGyver!

This is an interesting piece of wood.

It's a slice off an osage orange limb.

there are guys that may grips for guns. either they be for revolvers or semi-automatics, that would love that hunk of wood.

even rifle stocks...

They would be unique grips with that grain.

i tried searching a particular 1911 forum, where a guy makes grips, and he had a set much like that wood @Duck has...very unique and downright beautiful

 

[389 Hood]

Using wood similar to that, say Rosewood or a nice Birds-Eye maple, it can be finished with only an ultra fine sandpaper. It will shine like it was resin dipped, it is so hard.

I saw 1911 grips when I was surfing DuckDuckGo image search for dyed poplar samples yesterday.

I saw one that said RN & had that medical logo thing and someone's name at the bottom & I was thinking it would be awesome to make something like that for my sister, using osage orange wood.

I have all the tools, and patience to do that but right now I'm still learning about moisture levels in the wood. I'd hate to put a ton of work into something like that only to have it dry out and split.

I don't know what kind of shine I can get on wood that's been treated with linseed oil.

But.... I joined a woodworking forum last week.

 

[Duck]

Yellow pine, according to Sarah's dad. This was from a scrap I picked up off the ground by where they were putting new wood on a trailer deck.

That gray looks like old weathered wood but it's not. That gray goes all the way through.



I shined it up, put a couple of stiff wire loops on the ends and hung it below a shelf as something to store my spring clamps on.

 

[Duck]

This would make a great mallet.

 

[Duck]

Done.

 

[Duck]

And the required details & pictures for @GAnthony





I made a clamping jig to squeeze the end of the handle so it wouldn't split when I ran the screw in for the first time. Osage orange is very dense wood and even with the proper size pilot hole, it's still tight.

 

[Duck]

Zoom in on these shavings. The yellow is the Osage orange from drilling the hole in the mallet head, and the tan shavings are from the ordinary construction grade pine 2x4 I made the clamping thing out of.

I like that yellow.

I took some fine powdered sawdust from behind the belt sander and mixed it into the glue.



Anyway, a coat of linseed oil and she's all purrrty.

My grandpa's wood lathe has been in the corn crib since the fall of 2003. The south door of that barn has been missing the whole time.

I just dragged it out & brought it in the shop last night and looked at it closely for the first time in 20 years.



After my grandpa died in 1999, when my dad & I were hauling all the woodworking equipment home from Tennessee, his neighbor, also an old man, was helping us load it into the back of the pickups and he told us that the spindle on the lathe was bent & the whole machine was useless. My dad figured we could use the motor for something.

The spindle and the tail thingy were too stiff to turn freely. Not seized, just very tight.

The motor just hangs from a door hinge and the pulley on it is broken.

 

[Duck]

This shaft was super tight, and it's obvious it has to be removed to replace the belt.



Tail thingy was also rusty and stiff, but not seized.



I am gradually realizing the redneckery gene skips a generation... Motorcycle passenger footpegs for handles that fold down when not in use.
