WOW. I didn't know that Jet had released a black pen model. How does it
compare to the Delta and Powermatic black pens? SteveP. "charlie b" wrote in message ... Not done by any means but The Pointy Stick Compendium Project is at least "off the ground".

charlie b wrote: Not done by any means but The Pointy Stick Compendium Project is at least "off the ground". I can't seem to find what appears to be the "white" wood in the plans. Do you have plans for any other types of wood? SWMBO has been after me to make one of these to put in her garden so's she can put her little signs up -- I'm trying to decide if I want to modify the original "right pointing" diagram into something that is "down pointing", or just wait for the plans to come out. I'm thinking it might be easier to just wait, cause hopefully by then I'll be able to justify a new tool purchase.... -Steve in Banks, OR http://woodworking.bigelowsite.com |

You don't even say what color you're supposed to paint it. And, are there different colors for a right pointing one, and left pointing one? Suppose you want one to carry point up, or point down? What colors are they supposed to be? These plans are useless for me, I can't work from plans that leave out critical instructions.

Two comments Gus; Learn to attribute. Then we will know who you are quoting. Without proper attributes, we can only assume that you are talking to yourself.

Be sure to get the sharp kind. You don't want a dull rejoinder. Also be sure to set the blades carefully to determine how big a chunk you take out of the rejoindee on each pass. And apply the rejoinder firmly. Otherwise you're likely to get snipe. --RC |

The Pointy Stick Compendium Project is therapeutic - and it gives me an excuse to put off dealing with knife hinges on a coopered door cabinet. BTW - contributions of original pointy stick designs are beginning to pour in. OK so I've only received one drawing so far. But it was a Tom Plamann original - Mahogany Turned Column with Fluting Pointy Stick - very high end stuff - as expected. http://home.comcast.net/~charliebcz/...edDesigns.html Have also put up some In The Style Of pointy sticks for your perusal. (watch the line wrap) http://home.comcast.net/~charliebcz/...eStyleOf1.html Have to have something wood related to do 'til my head and chest clear up. This idea is a lot of fun. charlie b PS - JOAT - I did have dimensions on the plans but figured some folks would have trouble converting from cubits. I know you wouldn't 'cause you worked with cubits during your Tikki making days. |

I measure down to 1/6 cubits regularly, 1/18th for precision work, although not for TS alignment. What is the accuracy level of the drawings.

The design for the Pointy Stick appears to be very dangerous, and does
not include any safety features. I have designed a safety device which can be installed on any Pointy Stick, called The Stick Stop. As I have yet to patent this device, I cannot at this time reveal details about it's design or use. However, as I anticipate a large market for the device(as large as the market for Pointy Sticks), I am sure you would be interested in getting in on the ground floor of The Stick Stop investment opportunity. If enough interest is shown, I can proceed with the patent process and begin market research and product development. Please submit letters of inquiry to: Stick Stop Safety Device 1111 Gougeless Way Bumble, TN 48999 Dan |
