Band saws are one of the most common power tools used today, and can be found in the workshop of serious and amateur woodworkers and metalworkers alike. A standard band saw consists of a serrated blade or continuous band of small metal teeth, that forms a continuous loop. The blade is extended over two pulleys, one of which remains idle and the other which is driven by an electric motor. What is a Portable Band Saw? SEE THE FULL STORY.

Good friends, good food, good fun. Thursday, March 20, 2014. I used one of the 3M sticky bases to mount my GoPro camera to my quadcopter frame. I set it up to be the most basic, front-facing camera possible so that I could test both the camera and the stability of the copter with the camera attached. Wednesday, March 05, 2014.

My latest purchase for a self-publishing project is this wonderful Art Deco watercolour by Scottish artist Violet MacNeish Kay. Produced as artwork for an unpublished Christmas card it ticks all the boxes for me. The artist was born in Glasgow, the daughter of James Kay RSA RSW. A little bit more about the artist and her family here. On the trail of elusive Eva Porter! October 14, 2016.

I had never come across this type of card until today when I stumbled across two of them on Etsy. 5 in x 11 in they must have been difficult to send through the mail without suffering damage. According to the Tuck Database. More Art from Scholastic Productions.
