You seem like such a pleasant guy. I appreciate you taking the time to upload to this channel throughout the years, I’ve watched a lot of your videos just because I enjoyed em so much. I love chess and you’ve re inspired me to buy a little lathe and try it out myself.

[@BlackForestDesigns]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

Great vids. I was wondering how much clearance you have under the gantry and the bottom of the z mount? lease let me know. Thanks

[@BlackForestDesigns]

4 “ to bottom of z mount. But 6” to the tip of the router collet

[@fenders9911]

great video James .. how is your drum sander doing .

[@BlackForestDesigns]

Gone. On our move from Colorado to Washington the movers destroyed it. Drove into it actually. Bought a Grizzly G0458Z 18" 1-1/2 HP Open-End Drum Sander with the refund check (they broke other stuff). Thanks for watching.

Slot for the bolt shaft only down 3/4 of way to where the head would be, flip the board cut a dish 1/8th" deeper than the bolt head and 3x's the width of the head, fill with the bolt and JB weld, let cure, I have a setup like that on a router fence and it's lasted 3 years already. {use Mylar to prevent sticking and can even lay it down while curing fo a flush and smooth finish.

[@brianstevens3858]

Oh and MDF is good but hardwood is always better.

[@brianstevens3858]

Also have found since that if using epoxy etc. to seat a bolt for clamping to not make the dish round, an odd shape helps keep the bolt head from turning the fill.

[@BlackForestDesigns]

Great. Thanks for watching!

Thomas Edison on his previous failed attempts to make lightbulbs…”I haven't failed -- I've just found 10,000 that won't work." 🙂. Good job, sir! I still watch your chess piece videos over & over! 🙂♟👍🏻

[@BlackForestDesigns]
