Awesome! Thank goodness the kiddos like the set.

Dust collection is a great application for 3D printing... Years ago I broke the bag adapter for my sanding station so I made a replacement!

I'd go with an oil-based polyurethane. Stain is your choice. While water based poly will have much less odor I've found it to be less durable.

Oil based poly will smell much much worse than shellac. Water based poly wouldn't be so bad.

Oh yeah.. And be sure to never let your filament get tangled!!! Google that before you get started 😂

Exciting stuff! Good luck with the move.

I'm doing basic, functional stuff so there's thankfully not much to figure out. I haven't done any mods to my printer. The bed stays level as long as I'm gentle while removing the print.

The only thing I've struggled with was layer and bed adhesion during cold weather. To solve that I made a simple enclosure and also slowed down my first layer.

I'm fairly satisfied with AccuWeather. Not as good as Dark Skies was but close!

Mitered dovetails?

How handy is that? You can just bring along the old one to make sure the slots will agree.

I think you'll be able to judge if it would work. This iron will be a tad thicker but that's not a problem.

Ah, so for the carousel you oriented the tiles vertically on a large circle?

 

EBay has lots cheap of neodymium magnets with conical holes. Classy looking and strong!

 

Simple stopped dado construction with a 1/4" plywood back.

I even remembered to see how high the vacuum cleaner head is in order to position the bottom shelf!

 

Over the last 6 months I've made a number of plates and have really enjoyed using them every day. I was inspired by Richard Raffan's square plates video, making the two square ones first. I then made the big rectangular maple guy, followed by the three round ones.

All have a small ~1/16" mortise in the back which I've left in place. Most were basically unfinished, just getting some beeswax. But the orage-y cherry plates I've finished with BLO for some more color.. but I'm noticing that the color is fading with successive hand-washings.

 

An expandable dining table & set of chairs I worked on over the last ~18 months.

The chair design is from Jeff Miller's "Chairmaking & Design" book, the slat-back chair.

The table is also based on a Jeff Miller FWW article. I used metal extension slides from Rockler.

I'm more than happy to answer any questions about it!
