Check that Flex Shaft
Thu/30-Apr-2009
Just a reminder guys to take a few minutes and check that flex shaft. This may seem like a obvious tip but sometimes we forget that what's right under our noses. Take just a couple of seconds and verify everything is in order. After all, you don't want a break down. Preventative maintenance pays off BIG TIME!!

Getting old sure is challenging... Small details are more difficult to focus on and it seems that I need more light to see those details. Found a couple cool things to help with the onset of "old fart-ism". Bought a pair of these magnifiers and this clip on light. Both have come to my rescue... Grandpa was right when he would say "Getting old aint for sissies".

Did another skim through the owners manual and picked up a few more things I overlooked the last time I read it. It always amazes me how much I can learn from a revisit to the manual. After a little experience with the Carvewright, more and more of what I read makes sense where it didn't in the beginning.

Got a great note from one of my newsletter subscribers - R Rauenhorst. He sent me an email to thank me for putting together the tip on "Reading the Manual". I've included it here in it's entirety.

You are sooo right. I have now completed two projects nearly perfect. I am now ready to read the manual again. One thing I have learned and will do from now on is to take my piece of wood and sand it with my performax sander which will take out some slight imperfects that might cause a problem. A flat board is as important as having it square.
Thank you
