New woodworking tool gloat
Ever since I started working with wood I've been building stuff to
make it easier to get better and better results with inexpensive tools (partly because I'm lazy and partly because I enjoy creating tools as much as I enjoy making things with 'em). A couple of weeks ago I had a visitor stop by the shop to take the tour - and when he left, he carried off a little no-moving-parts gizmo I'd put together that'd caught his interest. One thing led to another; and Saturday morning I mailed back his copy of an agreement licensing production and sales to his company in return for royalties. This is a first for me. Probably won't ever make me either rich or famous - but it's a good ego trip. The link below points to a web page with info. I don't know when it'll hit the market, but hope to see it listed in catalogs sometime in the next six months. The gloat part: It'll be labeled "Made in USA". -- Morris Dovey DeSoto Solar DeSoto, Iowa USA http://www.iedu.com/ssq |

Looks like a great Idea. I wish you all the best for full scale production.
Hope you seel a million. and make a few as well Connor On Sun, 11 Dec 2005 08:32:50 -0000, Morris Dovey wrote: Ever since I started working with wood I've been building stuff to make it easier to get better and better results with inexpensive tools (partly because I'm lazy and partly because I enjoy creating tools as much as I enjoy making things with 'em).

Congrats on getting to this guy before anyone else did. This type of device
has been used on construction sites since the invention of the circular saw. Worked great when framing my windows a couple months ago. "Morris Dovey" wrote in message ...

Congrats Morris.
I have a couple commercial versions of this already. And they are too short and are hard to hold down when using. Make sure this is wide enough to cut stock that is at least a foot wide. |

That's great, Morris. I hope you it's a big seller and you get your
fair share. To often you hear of inventors getting very little to show for their ideas. Best of luck !

.... Congrats on getting to this guy before anyone else did. This type of device has been used on construction sites since the invention of the circular saw. Worked great when framing my windows a couple months ago. I used to work for a hardware company. A guy sent us his new patent for a hasp with a hook built in. Odd think is that we were already selling it; in fact it was in our 1898 catalog. A year later I went to Mexico and found it on the door of a house built in 1575. Yet the US Patent Office gave him a patent. Go figure. |

| Now I | just hope the guy isn't gonna outsource 'em to Mexico, or China. I don't think that's going to happen. Plans are to have 'em laser cut right here in Iowa. I was asked to set up the part programming to mill a promotional batch out of 6061 aluminum using the 'Bot in my shop. That prospect makes me a little nervous because I've never (intentionally) used the machine to cut metal before. His other product, the Saw-Jaw, is made just down the road from me at the same facility that made the molded plastic parts for my Kreg Jig. My guess is that production will stay in Iowa. -- Morris Dovey DeSoto Solar DeSoto, Iowa USA http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/solar.html |

I don't expect to make much (but wouldn't mind if I did!) Actually, there are a lot of really good ideas bouncing around; but the costs, time requirements, and risks involved in getting from idea to sold product are significant. I think it's much more difficult to find the people who can do that than it is to come up with the original idea. For most of us, it's pretty much a "chicken and egg" problem. And there's the old problem that the technically-oriented people who come up with solutions frequently don't have really good sales and marketing talents (that'd be me.) -- Morris Dovey DeSoto Solar DeSoto, Iowa USA http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/solar.html |

The idea seems too simple and straightforward to have been overlooked for long. I spent a lot of time looking for this thing as an off-the-shelf product; but had no success. | I made mine years ago. My first was an all-wood version that couldn't be re-calibrated, built when I had my RAS in the basement of my first house and was putting up knotty pine board paneling in a room on the second floor back in '72 or '73. I didn't get around to a metal version that could be recalibrated until almost ten years later. I had a machine shop make steel, brass, and aluminum versions and decided that I liked the aluminum best. You can see one of these original aluminum squares at the link below. All things considered, it's held up fairly well. | BTW, glad to see you got a deal. Thanks. :-) -- Morris Dovey DeSoto Solar DeSoto, Iowa USA http://www.iedu.com/ssq/ssq_photo2.jpg (large file) |

Yeah but the old R12 was cheaper the replacement is more expensive and leads to higher profits. + the new is not as "harmful" to the ozone layer. DuPont played this up so that they could sell their more expensive newly patented Freon. As a matter of fact, Swedish scientists at the south pole back in the early 1900's studied the ozone and documented that the ozone hole was larger then that it was in the late 80's and early 90's. This was all before automobiles were much of a common thing to see and Freon did not exist then. This is all big business and government and environmentalists scratching each others backs. |

I'm hoping that by sharing the experience I'll encourage other people with ideas to find their way to making woodworking more affordable, easier, and more satisfying for all. Finding new ways of doing things more easily, less expensively, or that produce consistantly better results is (and should be!) a source of pleasure and satisfaction. Taking that discovery to market seems unnecessarily stressful and uncertain - mostly because it involves traveling in strange (and possibly hazardous) territory. Perhaps sharing some of my "baby steps" here on the wreck will make the territory less strange, and the process less stressful - and provide others with the confidence to say: "If /he/ can do it, then so can I."

My truck (w/R134a) cools down much faster than my Sienna. The lowest temperature of both of them, after running for at least 15 minutes is no where near the lowest temperatures provided by the R12 equipped cars. I used to service a/c's with R12 and would get outlet temps near freezing on a summer day. Not gonna get that out of today's vehicles! sometimes I'd have to adjust or replace a component to keep the older models from literally freezing up (the evaporator). Dave |
