RE: Looking for some new projects.

Michael, Tim Z. & others,

Keeping my reply "LOM related":  The LOM does NOT like having to do its thing in a C-O-L-D shop.  After-all, its primary makeup is aluminum!
Therefore - to keep your LOM "happy" and performing at its peak - you need to H-E-A-T your shop!  
(For the Aussie:  "Happy Mill - Happy Bill!")
All that being said - I found it too coincidental that over the past week or so we have had discussions here about heating the shop.  Then today I got an email from Wood Magazine with their lead article being "Whole Shop Heating Systems"!!   How crazy is that?!?!?

Here is a link to the article:

Enjoy!
Mac

Hi Timothy,

 

It’s an American Harvest about 12 years old designed to burn most anything (but not coal), have burned corn and even cherry pits in it but now just wood pellets as that’s all I can find; cost me about $7.50/day to heat my 2400 sq ft home at a comfortable 70°F during the coldest times January, February, and March.

 

1200 sq ft shop is a super efficient Rinnai EX 38CWP propane wall furnace that cost me only about $2/day to heat at a constant 60°F.

 

Thanks for send you weather my way,

LOL, what country we even burn food here for energy; I actually have a heating stove that’s designed to burn corn.

Yep I will go along with that. Now please forgive my ignorance but what is a corn boiler

 

Here a boiler is a pot we cook food in like lobster or yabbies in, is it some sort of large heater over there?

Tim,

I think I heard on the radio that Ely hit minus 50ºF yesterday or the day before!

I believe they said it was a record low temp for that date.

It ought to be very safe for you to go out ice fishing this coming week.

Stay warm.

Mac

Hi Curt

 

You already probably know about this guy but here goes.

 

 

He has like a user group where  he periodically sends out emails that have projects in them.

 

I hope this helps, keep warm.

HI everyone.

 

I hope everyone  is well?

 

Its COLD in my shop, So I spent most of my day staying inside. I've been

looking for projects to play with on the Legacy and or my Lathe. On the internet today.

 

I want to do some more bone turning, I have already cut out a number of bone disks, I am looking forward to gluing them up into something that I can turn, soon.

The problem is What should I make?

I don't like pen's! 

I have already made a number of magnify glass's and other kits type of projects. 

 

I have gone to a number of dollar stores and hardware and thrift stores, looking for cheaply made things that can be re-worked. but so far no luck finding anything new.

So I thought I would ask you all.  Dose anyone know of a nice projects, that you like to make? Family heirloom type of stuff.  Perhaps a letter opener? or ???

 

Any and all ideas are welcome.

 

Looking forward to talking to you all more.

 

Have a good night.

 

C.A.G.
