I have the ridgid as well it is a combo oscillating belt and spindle sander. Really like it have had it for a long time and no problems yet.
News: Had a couple issues with the forum today. 1/19/2017. I believe I have them corrected now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.

Thanks for asking.
I use a pleated filter as it works better than the real cheap ones and I can use my shop vac to clean it off periodically (weekly).
I didn't have a box fan I had the round fan on hand so I built a box around it to hold the filter. Some folks use a 20" box fan. You want the fan/filter to sit so the fan is blowing away from the saw. it really helps draw the fine sawdust out of the air into the filter.
I also made a small thing to store some blades that are close by while working on a project. This is attached to the top and I have a packet of small files hanging on the side below the blades.
The saw looks built in but it is actually surface mounted on top of the bench and it's raised 3 1/2 inches in the rear with the front sitting proud of the bench which makes it appear like it is built in in that photo. I think you may be able to see it better in this pic. This one is prior to painting.
What else would you care to know?

you mixed regular food coloring with alcohol? How did that go? Using isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol?

I am back doing shows this year. Stopped for quite a while. I re-located and needed a way to meet people so I began selling at the local farmers mkt. That led to being invited to 3 juried shows this fall. All that coupled with my website and I stay plenty busy. If it gets too busy I'll just not show up...LOL I do 2-3 times the sales on my website as I do at any craft show though.

Cherie,
I looked at your ornaments, and my word you are underselling yourself girl You do nice work and very inexpensive. However I understand, what the local economy will bear.

That is a lot of money for a machine that is dedicated to do one thing. I prefer my dremel with the drill press attachment. I can do so many things with it besides drill holes. It is portable as well.

On this particular on e It is just straight acrylic paint. I then sprayed it with a clear coat finish. Some I thin down the paint and do more of a wash, that lets the grain for the wood show through. The wood dictates how I decide to finish off a piece.
