Tutorials, Techniques and Tips / Re: Cutting Music CDs

Thank you very much. I have several CDs and was trying to re-purpose them. Sounds like it's more trouble than it's worth... but I'll bet if your could find a pattern and method of cutting they'd look great! Cheers, Barry.

Has anyone tried cutting music CDs, and how did that work out for you? I presume you used a jeweller's blade? Cheers, Barry.

On a news feed a few weeks ago I noticed one scroller that spray painted his blades 'cause he had a problem seeing the blade against the pattern. Cheers, Barry.

Consulates, currency exchanges, banks are a few of the places I've acquired foreign coinage. Cheers, Barry.

Thanks Ray. Shipping between the U.S. and Canada can be absurd. I'm going to keep my open for old furniture at the Re-store, or on the local buy and sell websites. Something will turn up. Thank you again. Cheers, Barry.

I'm developing a plan on how I'd fabricate one. From the photo on the website they looked like pan-head screws, which didn't make much sense but a wooden peg does. Purchasing a length of oak would leave me with three feet to use on another project... decisions, decisions. Thank you, Barry.

Cstm - me too, that's why I started this thread. Cheers, Barry. By the way, stopped at Home Hardware and Rona. A piece of S1S Oak board 3/4 in. x 6 in. x 4 ft. long costs $45 up here. I've said it in previous posts, unless it's spruce, pine or fir, which are native in this part of the world, you pay through the nose.

I'm going to fabricate the bow sander and then figure out the length of belt I need. Thank you, Barry.
