New Vacuum Shoe for the Pony Router Attachment

I got tired of having to use two vacuums to keep up with the MDF dust so today I cutout a new vacuum shoe for the Bosch Pony Laminate Router Attachment.


It is held in place with magnets.

Using Sharpie Markers to Draw a Two Sided Object

Today I setup a Sketchup file to produce a two sided Bart Simpson character for a Micro Surfer Dude I intend to build.  


I created a tutorial on the process used and posted it on youtube.

Built a Sharpie Attachment today

Cut out a Sharpie Attachment (posted on Phlatforum) from 1/4" MDF today.


Got 4 flange bushings and a 1/4" rod from Lowes.


Put the attachment together.  Had to file down the rod and polish and fine sand the MDF mounting holes to line up better. 


Put a piece of 1/64" ply over the top to capture the rods so I would not have to glue them in place.


Did not have anything to test with, so I spent the evening making up a Harley Davidson Logo to  try out the attachment with tomorrow.
