Do we all those scars on our thumbs? Hmmm. It's like a rocketeer tatoo. I have two on the first joint of my left thumb and one between my thumb and forefinger, also left hand. The knife was in my right hand. After that, I learned to trim off broken fins directing the force of the Xacto blade away from hand rather than toward it. |

Heh. I'd probably forget to put them on, but I certainly could use it. I really could have used those last weekend. I was rebuilding a 30 gallon aquarium which spent too many years in the attic and apparently Perfecto Aquariums Inc. did not polish the corner edges of their glass before assembly--at least they didn't back in '83. Ouch. When it heals I'll probably have a third scar on that same thumb. I tried real hard to flay it and have one of those nice semi-circular dollops cut into the flesh. The silly thing is that I knew about the hazard and had a piece of 220 emory paper with which I was polishing the edges as I disassembled the glass pieces and for some reason I didn't polish the edges on that last piece of glass before I started cleaning it. I was tired by that time and I guess the brain went on a vacation. It takes lots of short trips... |

Back on the subject of tools...
Everybody know I make a LOT of nose coneso...I make a lot of wood chips and sawdust. I just purchased a 1 HP dust collector to replace my ailing 3/4HP model. HOLY SNIKES!!! My old one was 350cf/m. This one is 1,200cf/m! Hold on to that balsa nose cone firmly! That tool is amasing! I just finished 7 Nike Hercules transitions and my shop is still clean! I love this thing! If you do a lot of woodworking and make a lot of dust you just gotta have one!

Someone recommended oilless compressors... From experience I sure wouldn't...
They are STRICTLY for intermittent use, not continuous duty cycles. For small airbrushes they'd probably be fine. If you use a larger paint gun or trim gun for painting, you'll quickly wear out an oilless compressor. For what an oilless compressor runs you can get a MUCH better oil-type compressor and filter/driers for the air are cheap enough now, as are regulators. I wouldn't recommend doing ANY painting without a good air filter/seperator/dryer and a decent regulator, and if you're using a substantial amount of hose, those little red/orange disposable plastic canister filters from autobody paint stores/shops that screw directly onto the air inlet of your gun are very good as well... It sucks having a paint job ruined by stray moisture condensation in the hose or lines... Good luck! OL JR

Thanks. There's a Lowe's about 10 minutes away and I'll have to check them out. Last time I was there they seemed pretty low on Delta stuff but ya never know...
