keyhole flanges wouldnt be a good lesson because i use templates that i made on a milling machine. If one other person has a milling machine i would be surprised. Ive never thought about doing it any other way but ill have to give it some thought.
There is not much to them. If you are getting your flanges to work now and have the holes spaced perfectly your 95% of the way there.
Are you this far yet?
Flame polishing is something i am not very good at, i dont have the patience to sand the pieces down smooth enough to get to the flame part. BTW propane will not work. Mapp gas is possible but needs a good technique. HAving a brain cramp right now and cant think of the right gas you need for flame polishing

hi, I just wanted to give my point of view for the DIY night.
I learned a good amount of my wood working from watching shows like the new yankee workshop, and reading a lot of books and mags. the rest I learned by doing it of course, and by watching people in shops with much more experience than myself. I guess it depends on your skill level with tools and making stuff. I'd be happy seeing how a skimmer is put together, and how you join acrylic without making a mess, things like that. then I can go home and work on the projects myself
I might even bring some tools into the city so I can make stuff out of my apartment. then I can host a DYI too.
what tools will work best for these projects? I can't bring a table saw or other staionary tools into my loft, but I have a small router table and all kinds of hand power tools. I could get a small contracters saw, I've been thinking about buying one, and an extra miter saw.

Well I'm not sure where that leaves us, I have zero power tools, just a dremel and a crappy drill, and a backyard. I guess If Wedfr could give me some basic plans I could draw up a sheet of plans for everyone to take home with step by step instructions.
Dont know if this is useful?
