Yes not using the bags and letting the chips fly does stop the building up I unwanted places

Like I mentioned, most of us probably do not use the plastic trips or the dust bag. But good to test and learn for sure. Keep up the great content and testing Mike as it's super great to hear the new guys enjoying the LOM's. Kind Regards, Timothy J.

Here is what I learned. Dust shields kept 90% of the dust in the bag which was great. I also tried the rounding method today where you use a handle on both the x-axis and the spindle for the first time. I had two issues. the strips that I had hanging down around the walking stick wrapped themselves around the stick at the thin stock support which raised it up and created a problem with the rounding. Cut those off and solved that problem and then found that the sawdust collected on the thin stock support. The rotational movement of this method allowed the sawdust to pile up and get pulled behind my stock support which once again raised up causing an inconsistent rounding. I went back to my original rounding method of going along the x-axis and everything worked fine again. I now have a block of hdpe that I bought to make an actual legacy thin stock support so I may go ahead and build one like that for future use. I was using a scrap piece of oak hand rail today and really do not like working with that kind of open grain wood. Alot of sanding afterwards to get a smooth surface.

Started off with making a new carving mallet out of hard rock maple. This was the first time I used the rails to produce a tapered shape which worked pretty well. I have a tote full of these chunks that a local factory was throwing away so I'm always looking for things to make out of them. After that I wanted to add chip skirts that would hang down on all 4 sides of the router sled to minimize throwing chips outside of the bed/bag. I found a roll of heavy duty clear vinyl material at my local salvage store that turned out to be exactly what I needed for this project. Next I added a simple magnetic tool holder to the lower rail of my LOM to hold the various items I'm using regularly. Then to finish out the day I put a length of old oak handrail on the LOM and rounded it off to make a new walking stick. Here are a few pictures of some of the things. <https://groups.google.com/group/legacy-ornamental-mills/attach/4ba3581244290/20230211_170713.jpg?part=0.3&view=1> <https://groups.google.com/group/legacy-ornamental-mills/attach/4ba3581244290/20230211_143904.jpg?part=0.2&view=1> <https://groups.google.com/group/legacy-ornamental-mills/attach/4ba3581244290/20230211_190054.jpg?part=0.1&view=1> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
