    Foam madness.

    Hi Gang! I just got back from a foraging trip to Lowes and Home Depot. It seems they don’t carry the blue or pink foam. Oh they have the thin (1/4”) but not the thick. The reason they gave was it was too fragile and the stock got broke up before it was sold. Almost word for word as if they had...

    This may pose a problem. Dingbat and I have the same name (Loopy apple biscuits). So I used her maiden name and got (Loopy lips tushie). Now I can probably get by calling her that once, on the way out the door!!! Trouble Maker!

    Mini-table saw

    tilt no problam. jon-monon; Not having a tilt blade is no problem. I saw an adapter that runs in the slots that the stock rested on and was also adjustable. It had a piano hing on the blade side and some curved brackets that were tightened with wing nuts. May be it something like it would work.

    Illusion

    While visiting the Crayon Museum/factory in Easton PA, Dingbat went to the sand box and I stepped outside for a ciggy. I noticed the reflection in the windows across the street had no basis. On closer inspection I could see it was either painted or was a paper. Now if this could be miniaturized...

    A question about CAD

    Question? I downloaded RTS & WinRail and have been playing with them. In the demos there is electrical symbols in place. My question is does the program insert the circuits automatically or do you have to do it yourself? I’m not exactly electrically challenged but any thing that doesn’t tax...
