Hi Tom

It's duck soup to change "CD-ROMs in to DVDs " you just need to use two machines.

Play the CD disk/VHS tape and let the DVD machine record at the same time..
e.g. player>recorder>TV then you have your master DVD copy.
I have tons of software that will do the same thing but the play & copy is the best way to get the job done...

I do it all the time with VHS tapes,CD disk , to put more then one tape or CD on the new DVD format ,the new Blue format will let you put up to 50hrs. on one disk but that's a diff. story.... but I must say with the DVD disk you can put up to 8 hrs. of viewing on one standard DVD disk...

Hi Tom

Nice job on the chairs BUT what is that under the chair and top of the table ?

A new way to stay warm ? or to dry out the finish...? or a new way to smoke your ham hocks

Looks like white rocks and candles in a banana split/candy mint dish..now I see where you get your template designs, you look at the rug on the floor

Hi All
It is thanks to Harry's direction when we were speaking on Skype this afternoon I am able to make postings and submit and view pics again, so hopefully I have solved the problem.
it may take me a little while to go through all the posting to see if I can add to the questions put forward.
I have been making steady progress with my Dining room chairs and I am at the final stages of construction.
Hopefully I will have a few pics of the various stages of construction.

Hi Harry

Bad habit of mine , I just about always look at what's in the background it tells me more than what's up front..


===========

There isn't much that isn't picked-up by you're Eagle eyes Bj!

HI Harry

Not sure but try it wilthout the quote\\

Bj, I have posted an answer THREE TIMES to you're post #17 of this thread but they are nowhere to be seen. Before doing the last one I logged off the forum, came back and made the third attempt but I still can't see it. Any ideas?

Hi Peter

OR just make a ring out of plastic that will snap on a standard guide and get the 40mm OD...
Quick and easy way

Re 40mm bushings, why not post on one of the model engineering forums to find a local model engineer who would turn one up ? It's not a big job for someone with a metal working lathe.

Cheers

HI Harry

That's why I have a 1 1/2" guide, it's almost 40mm..and it can take on a 1" router bit easy..

40mm = 1.574" 1 1/2" = 1.500"
I did make a SMALL snap on ring for the 1 1/2" guide but it's very thin and it's plastic, the next one will be a brass ring..out of one of the lock ring nuts.

BUT I did make one to fit the 1" guide as well, most have a 1" brass guide in the set they have in the shop and it's not a big deal just to use a 3/4" router bit in place of a 1" router bit.. many router bits will slip right into the 1" brass guide easy...

You're right up to a point Bj. The thing to remember is that the INSIDE diameter is also important, there's no point in fitting a 40mm sleeve on a 1" guide because it would defeat the purpose of a large guide and all the advantages that go with it, the most important being the ability of the chuck to pass through the guide for a deeper depth of cut.

Hi Harry

Ping-Pong

I got your point but that's why I made one to fit the 1 1/2" BRASS guide, I have many routers and out of them the biggest collet (chuck ) nut is 29mm O.D. and it will not hit the guide, so to say it works just fine..

I had to make my own because in the USA they don't make a 40mm guide in steel or brass...

I will say many of the routers that use the big steel guides use two screws to hold them in place.
unlike the brass ones that use the brass threads to do the same job..brass on brass.. that works like a locking device..
just like a brass fasteners do...deforming the threads just a little bit..

=======

I think you may have missed my point about large size template guides which allow not only the cutter to pass through but also the CHUCK, thereby allowing a much deeper cut and no chance of sparks flying when the chuck touches the inside of a small guide. (please don't tell me that steel on brass doesn't make sparks, I know.) Lots of routologists use steel guides without any associated problems arising during decades of use.

Hi Tom

" template guides" in DVD format 816mb certainly too large to send. It runs for 17minutes"

Think You-Tube , you can just load part of it if you want..maybe with a overlay to the new DVD that you are making...to helps sales
All you need is a overlay with a web address on the bottom of the video..or just a add it to the start and the tail end of the video..many,many view You-Tube all the time..

As you are all well aware the reason why I have not been submitting postings on the forum due to the time I have spent producing my material in a DVD format. I have also completed the woodwork section of my diningroom chairs completing the polishing this week. Today I purchased the foam padding and the cover material so it will be all go to have them completed for Christmas. Look out for the final product soon. (That was Ann's bit added as she brings out the whip)

There has not been any topics posted where I could offer assistance and Harry has it well in hand. I am pleased to see that at least some are recognizing the benefits of the guides, it has taken some time as it was way back in 2004 that I made my first attempt to introduce forum members to use the template guides. I have recieved a great deal of encouragement to continue especially when Mike continues making an effort to try and introduce the 40mm guide. Today I produced "Introduction to the use of the template guides" in DVD format 816mb certainly too large to send. It runs for 17minutes.

I would be unable to re-write all my material in imperial, I did give it a go converting a few of my drawings but not only was I getting confused with the numbers that came up after the conversions I am sure if I had posted them on the forum they would have been thrown in the bin. I still say it is easier for the users to change the metric sizes to near enough imperial sizes. That is what I have to do when I purchase an American magazine only in reverse. Though there is very little material written explaining the template guide method fully both in Imperial and Metric.

I spent yesterday in one of our local High School with five Design and Technology teachers showing how the system works and introducing safe processes that can be used by the students. Working with the aid of template guides is all about safety with the router.

I hope to have details of the other DVDs very soon and I will keep you informed

Tom

Hi Harry

You need to check out my Gallery more you old fart

I spend more time helping others

I doubt that, like me, Bj hasn't turned out many recent projects.
