don't worry about what you call cluttering the group it doesn't matter how many attempts as long as it gets posted great shelving with the threads I like it. my guess is Tim will soon post a tutorial on how to successfully post pictures to remind us all how its done I just hit reply to the email when it arrives and attach them that way. at the moment the finest thread a can do on the legacy is 2 threads per inch. if I can figure out a way of doing finer I will post it for you how do you do the threads now?

Re: All New Members
What I find the most time consuming with the threaded rod is running it through the Beall wood threader router jig by hand turning. It's around 30 minutes per 4 foot section to thread by hand; if the tolerance is a little tight on the rod, then it turns into a forearm endurance exercise. I'd love to have 20 or so pre-threaded rods ready to go when I get inspired, but I'm just hate doing it after the 3rd or 4th one. That's one of those things I'd like to automate a bit.

Re: All New Members
Hi Dustin, I wrote a tutorial a while ago on how to post images to the group. It should have been listed as the first message but Google gremlins changed the setting. http://groups.google.com/group/legacy-ornamental-mills/msg/b1f2641a37748b45 Feedback is always welcomed on anything that I write as an official tutorial. Correction, better wording, questions just let me know. Don't worry about the clutter. Don't give up because you cant post an image to the group. When you get tired if trying send the pictures to me and I will size, and post them. Even the sizing is not important. For those not seeing the photos and you have Windows Live email client, I wrote a note about that as well. It's on the public Web site. http://ornamentalmills.com/tips/Windows_Live_Mail/index.html I do prefer that new topics are started when you post a project. It make it easier to search for at a later date.

Re: All New Members
How about making a carriage on wheels that will fit the Legacy. Have the jig, the router and carriage all move as one. Now install the dowel between centers and get it to start turning. With a slight pressure it will catch and start the threads. The guides in the jig will allow for movement/advancement down the rod. The only other two things I can think of is a limit switch if motorized and a pulley at the end of the rail and a rope for advancement help so the threads are not doing all the work.

Re: All New Members
It's great to see you Carl, and I consider you a seasoned veteran of this group. You're no longer the new guy since you have posted messages in the past and shown some interesting projects. I've been a self supporting artist for more years than not, and I can tell you the craft shows are a tough gig to earn a living. Especially right now with the economy that we are in. Do you have any photos of your booth setup? I would be curious to hear about your current product line up and price point. It's a little beyond our scope, but have you considered Google Adwords? What's wrong with box makers? Are you talking about 6 side square ones or turned ones? Is that what's popular in your neck of the woods? I also think you have a good point about how common the barley twist and ropes are to us. I grew tired of seeing them a long time ago which is probably why I do mostly indexed work. Your comments also remind me Legacy was going to make a tutorial that talked about money making items for quick sale. It would be a great new topic that could be opened up for those trying to earn a living using the equipment. This group has several entrepreneurs that would benefit from this topic. -Tim - Original Message - From: carstenstig...@verizon.net To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, July 04, 2011 6:09 AM Subject: Re: All New Members Tim et al, Just a quick reply on your note on posting and asking questions. I work a rather full time job that takes almost 60 hours a week, I build Huge industrial air compressors for FS Elliot and have been a Factory technician for Atlas Copco in the past. I am in the process of doing a startup of my own woodworking business on the side at this time. While I have not posted for a while I am very faithful at reading the posts, and am constantly amazed at the items this group makes. While I am on the low end with only a 900 I am working very diligently to incorporate what I can do on it into my woodworking to set myself apart from the box makers out there in the Pittsburgh PA area. For anyone contemplating going into this full time let me tell you that getting exposure is a real hurdle to overcome. I am looking at going into the Custom Made Site as a paying member to get my items to come up when searching. Even the juried shows here in the area are no cheap way to go as I have been trying to do them now for a year and have only broken even. that all being said the Legacy gives me a heads up over others due to the different way I can do things. We may not realize the barley twists and the rope twists are that unique as we see this all the time and do them but for the average person it is what sets us apart. I know that I appreciate the group and everyting that you put into it.

If there is a need not being met feel free to provide some feedback here or you can reach me directly at artmarb...@comcast.net if you want to keep your comments private. Keep in mind, this group is private and only fellow members can see your messages. All of the members for the last two years have been screened before gaining access to the group by myself or Curt. This creates a safe environment for people to post questions and show projects. If you really feel embarrassed to ask what might seem to be a simple question, send a note to me privately and I will pass on the question to the group and never share your name. I've done this for several members and the group benefited from the input.

Re: All New Members
Tim, I think he wants a one start .20 pitch on a 1.5 dowel. I think this is quite possible with a reversing gear modification. If the size of the gears were offset one gear at 24 teeth and the other gear at 120 1:5 would be accomplished. Then a 1 inch standard gear pitch would become a .20 and achieve the thread Dustin would need. What do you think? Mike On 7/4/2011 10:24 AM, Tim Krause wrote: I think the ideas your thinking about (or anyone for that matter) are a great topic to bring up. Honestly it's been a while since I've used my equipment but that has not stopped me from thinking about things that can be done. You want to create a one and a half inch five start thread right? I hate to disagree with Bill, but I do see the 1-1/2 -5 thread possible currently on the legacy. Using the .25 reduction gear set and the F gear will give you the 1-1/2 pitch. The 5 start you have to be clever and use the crank handle method to rotate the stock to 5 different starts or 72º. A while back I posted a message regarding a new way to do spirals and that technique would apply. I know there are several members wanting to upgrade their manual equipment to cnc.

The only disappointment that I have regarding the group is the difficulty posting pictures, which has everything to do with google and nothing to do with the talented members of this group. This certainly doesn't keep me from posting when I have a question though. The daily email from the group that I get in my inbox keeps me informed on current topics, so I often feel caught up with the latest happenings on the group. A lot of my lack of posting mirrors my actual time woodworking, which is very infrequent anymore except for commissioned projects or a special fun project I've been thinking about. You're also correct in that I'm one of those second hand owners of a legacy (1200). As far as my interests go in the group, every post made here is meaningful to me. My interests are: 1. Learning techniques 2. Seeing others' projects 3. Modifying the Legacy 4. CNC, or CNC-ifying the Legacy Numbers 3 and 4 are the big directions that I want to head. I've got a half built 3-axis CNC machine in my garage that I worked on as a backup to my Carvewright when it breaks down during an important project. I'm really interested in automating the Legacy and trying to do my own Performance package CNC conversion to it with my existing equipment. Other baby steps that I'd like to achieve would be automating the x-axis to speed up making dowels (I thread 1 1/2 dowels for erector set type furniture projects). I also have not researched this, but I'd like to be able to cut an automated 1 1/2-5 thread on the legacy. I have no idea if the gears support that, and I suspect that they do not at this time and I'll have to wait for CNC conversion.

Re: All New Members
Hi Ken I think the protective/aggressive side came out in a few members if I recall the thread you are talking about. I think certain members of the group object to people asking for exact plans of the Legacy equipment so they can make a copy. That's different from a question where someone is asking if having an index system that is adjustable would be useful. One's blatant thievery and the other is asking for opinions of how to make a machine better. Hopefully the question is followed up with details of what was made from the results of the question so other can duplicate the effort. You could say one is a selfish question and the other benefits the group. I would love to see your machine. I have no objection to you posting it if you feel like sharing. I've learned from posting ideas that people ask questions or suggest features that I never thought about when I built the thing.

I will be the first to admit I do not post in this group very often at all, but the only reason for that is I do still have 2 of the manual mills, but I also have a CNC, and I find myself using the CNC more than the 900, for several reasons, I guess the first is I can see a picture of what I am making before a bit hits the wood, I can walk away and sometimes even go to work while the machine is running. I do still use the Manuel mills but more time is dedicated to the CNC. As far as others not posting in the group, I wonder how many have joined this group just to hear what people thought of the machine before buying one, and I know we have all seen machines sold that were never even assembled. This group is filled with alot of people that have taken this machine to limits I would have never considered, I have always wondered if people get intimidated. Me personally I have always felt the only stupid question is the one you decided not to ask. An I have never seen anyone in this group talk down to people for asking questions - Original Message - From: Tim Krause artmarb...@comcast.net To: Legacy-Ornamental-Mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, July 3, 2011 3:46:49 PM Subject: All New Members Hello All New Members, I'm curious about the new people in this group that we have not heard from. Is there a technology barrier preventing people from posting questions to this group? I'm looking at a list of 42 members that have never posted a message in two years. I would like to hear from those members. If there is a need not being met feel free to provide some feedback here or you can reach me directly at artmarb...@comcast.net if you want to keep your comments private. Keep in mind, this group is private and only fellow members can see your messages. All of the members for the last two years have been screened before gaining access to the group by myself or Curt. This creates a safe environment for people to post questions and show projects. If you really feel embarrassed to ask what might seem to be a simple question, send a note to me privately and I will pass on the question to the group and never share your name. I've done this for several members and the group benefited from the input. If you feel your English skills are not good enough to ask a question, send me a note and I will clean it up and post it to the group. Again no one needs to know your name if that's the only issue preventing you from sharing. I'm looking forward to hearing some input on this issue. -Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Legacy Ornamental Mills group.

Re: All New Members
Hi Jeff, As a new member I've appreciated the few notes you have posted. Most members that are interested in joining this group own at least one of Legacy's machines. Very few over the last two years have signed up thinking about buying one. I would have to say the majority of recent new members have bought the equipment second hand and are just learning to use the machine. That's one reason I'm puzzled by the lack of questions. Thanks for the input, -Tim - Original Message - From: Jeff Becker To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, July 03, 2011 2:03 PM Subject: Re: All New Members I will be the first to admit I do not post in this group very often at all, but the only reason for that is I do still have 2 of the manual mills, but I also have a CNC, and I find myself using the CNC more than the 900, for several reasons, I guess the first is I can see a picture of what I am making before a bit hits the wood, I can walk away and sometimes even go to work while the machine is running.
