Hello all, in regard to the argument Right or Left this was debated in
my school and lead to the class doing a research lesson into it. The
position in ancient times was as stated for the reasons of the sword
arm. It goes further than this as to it also being the preferred or
default side of the road which an advancing army would deploy to camp.
This was the case as far back as the Romans. Due to this habit it became
quite easy for spies to quickly determine which way an army was going
simply by looking at the campsite.
This lead to French generals during the early struggles for dominion of
the Americas going counter contrary to camping and marching in order to
put spies off the scent when they were at rest.  Napoléon was the
General who actually changed the old rule to the new one based on the
success of the tactic in the wars between the French and English in
America. If you recall that the English were warring with the French way
before the eventual arguments which lead to the breakup of the Americas
into the form they now hold.
Early wagon and coach travel would no doubt have followed the defacto
left side due to the need to be able to use a whip and draw a gun. Early
Americans were very much an independent and rebellious lot so the notion
of rules telling you what side of the road to drive no would have always
been a source of argument as to who had the right of way. 
There will no doubt be lots of issues making more of the debate such as
the design of the American stagecoach but in general by the time of the
coming of the motor car rules had to be drawn up as chaos on the roads
was beginning to ensue. Early film of San Francisco and London as cars
were becoming more mainstream show how there appears to be no Rule of
which side do I drive at all. France and subsequently Independent
America chose the right side due to their history and convention and
Britain and it's dominions chose the left.
The truth of the argument is there is no Right or Wrong (left) side it
is all down to history.
I do have one more gem regards a link from the Romans to the size of the
International  Space station but that will have to wait.

Now back to woodworking you lot!

[8]Router "Extreme Extension" on sale

Hello all, just wanted to put in my two penneth on the subject
of the Xtreme Xtention. I bought one of these (when Roger was
selling them here in the UK) and actually was not impressed.
The concept is good but on my Elu 177 it slid into the existing
collet clamp. This lost me a significant amount of adjustment
in the depth range. I swapped it for a different make (the name
eludes me) which replaces the entire collet on the router. It
does the same job has less strain on the router bearings and
works in exactly the same way, using the allen key to lock the
cutter. An identical product is now being sold by Woodrat
called the "muscle Chuck" and in my opinion is a smaller and
cleaner design item. The current price is less than when I
bought mine.
You can find it here [9]http://www.woodrat.com/chuck.html
Again, just my own view with no axe to grind on the subject.

Hello Brandon, one idea to consider would be to look at the Shopsmith
Premium caster set Item 556247 You can find them here:
Shopsmith site
http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/catalog/premium_retractable_casters.htm

I am an authorised dealer for the UK, Europe but if you like the look of
them I will sort you out a price. They are $124 on the site if you want
to order direct.

I have fitted these to a number of customers machine here in the Uk and
am impressed with the ease of movement. The operation up and down has
always been spot on.

Speak to me in Private if you want to.

Well I'm tossing my hat into the ring as well. I am a devout Shopsmith
fan (so much so I have become a dealer for them in the UK) I have only
barely scratched the surface playing with my REVO so have not added much
to the Legacy conversations but I read all the tips with interest.
As an aside for Bridgette, your Shopsmith telescopic legs are better put
to use as a table extention for the back when ripping longish pieces of
wood and as a platform stabiliser when using the machine in drill press
mode. I personally would never attempt to saw up 8x4 sheets on my
Shopsmith as it's far safer to do this on a table with a skil saw to get
down to the rough sizes needed.
If you use the Shopsmith site for the "Sawdust sessions" you will see a
number of setup examples.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work. If your table is turning clockwise, you
get the same spiral no matter where you start. You need to use your right
and left hand gears to reverse the spiral. try it. Draw a circle and spin
the paper as you pull your pencil across.

Hi to all, reading the topic of shipping your machine Dexter, (I
won't say anything nasty just in case you're THE Dexter on TV)
and I was shocked at the price quoted for diesel. Living in the
UK we really get screwed on this. In 2008 we were paying $6 per
US gallon and today it's $8.64 and it is due to rise again for
"environmental" reasons.!!

On another note does anyone in the membership ship stuff to the
UK?

Sorry, I know nothing to do with woodworking but the last bit
does relate to buying tools.

Regards to all, from  Martin, of Martinsbootfair.

The SHIPPING was about $200 - the machine I got for a deal of
$850. No
legs, but most of the important accessories. The shipping
today would
probably be more now that diesel fuel cost $4.00 per gal.
I am located just outside of Anniston, AL , surrounded by

Hi, I looked at this item here in the UK but have been put off by
the review of it.
[1]http://www.axminster.co.uk/fisch-flexi-curve-prod783040/#botto
msection

It comes in three lengths 600, 1000 and 3000mm with the longer
two being critised for being way too stiff to get a satisfactory
curve. The weird thing Tim found originally, although expensive
does seem the best. For me, I will just stick to the "bow string"
approach and mark out onto a ply template to cut on the bandsaw.
Slower but I'm not in any hurry.
Have a look at the review and search out other reviews before
buying maybe?

Hello Bill
Yes that was Tim, that was looking for a flexible template.
(Good find! I have not ever seen this one before!) I think
that I just might buy one for my self. ;-)

The Ribbon twist looks nice too.
What kind of wood is that,Bill?

Thanks for sharing. I will get back with you latter.
Have a good night.

C.A.G.

OUCH! I just looked at the price! I'm going to have to save
my pennies to afford this one. (But if Its worth having its
worth working for! Right?) ;-)

its just laminated pine this was one of the first things I
ever did on the legacy
I remember it being a pain with the usual chatter when
cutting from the side
I wish there was another way of doing them or perhaps a
spiral router bit would work better
I was thinking of doing one in a hard wood but I'm not sure
how it would go
a 2 inch or more cut from the side.
even doing smaller cuts getting deeper each time sooner or
later I will have to take the whole cut at once to clean up
all the little cuts

Hi, my name is Martin, I am here in the UK and follow all the
posts but due to location don't often have anything helpful
to post, ref the last auction and shipping conversation. I
know Roger watches (Hi Roger!) and I said hello to him in
person, at a recent Exhibition in Kent, UK. I also spoke to
one of the guys from Legacy who was showing the latest in the
CNC machines for sale. I own a REVO with lots of extras which
I have not yet mastered as I am still getting to grips with
the basics of the machine. I spoke to Tim, recently and was
expressing my appreciation of the "archve" here and said I
was slowly working my way through the postings and gaining
lots of insight into how to use my machine. I am still a long
way back in this task (2005) but "slowly slowly, catchy
monkey" Keep up the good work. It would be interesting to see
how many other UK users there are?
