BillyJack Posted January 1, 2023 Author Report Posted January 1, 2023 I’m going to check out the red Christmas lights I have and check for heat. I’m going to try and make my own diffuser,
Mark J Posted January 1, 2023 Report Posted January 1, 2023 Are they required, or an optional feature?
BillyJack Posted January 1, 2023 Author Report Posted January 1, 2023 An option, but I think I’m going to pass. There is getting to be too much depth in the rail..
BillyJack Posted January 1, 2023 Author Report Posted January 1, 2023 Lights and graphics help sell cheap tables, I try and focus on the woodwork on mine.. If I sell this table, I hope it will pay for my Zombie table

wtnhighlander Posted January 4, 2023 Report Posted January 4, 2023 Every time I see these photos, "clamps, clamps, clamps, clamps..." plays in my head, to the tune of Monty Python's "Spam" song.
BillyJack Posted January 4, 2023 Author Report Posted January 4, 2023 Getting to were my hands have problems with all this clamps. At the end of the day I start to have problems with squeezing the clamps to re hang them up. While working for designer in Kansas City, I found I was having shoulder problems from the dialysis treatments. He had tall work benches and my arms were high. I left early one day because of this. I created a topic a while back about easier clamps to buy and use because my hands are hanging problems with all the squeezing and twisting of clamps.. 1

wtnhighlander Posted January 10, 2023 Report Posted January 10, 2023 @BillyJack, did you use a ink transfer method for the pics, or was a laser involved?
BillyJack Posted January 10, 2023 Author Report Posted January 10, 2023 HP 6520 inkjet printer. I’ve had the veneer paper for awhile… 1

BillyJack Posted January 12, 2023 Author Report Posted January 12, 2023 Something else I’m looking into.. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiIg6iUpsL8AhVWBDQIHen4BbgQFnoECA4QAw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DxHOWUR8vTvo&usg=AOvVaw044x2-jknmxaaOtMC_JVKP
wtnhighlander Posted January 13, 2023 Report Posted January 13, 2023 I have successfully done an inkjet print transfer to wood, using ordinary waxed paper from the kitchen. As effective as the label paper, but much less expensive. If you don't want to buy a CNC laser engraver, a pretty good substitute is to use a stencil and ammonium cloride as shown here, or a ScorchMarker pen. Works best for simple graphucs and lettering, but photo images can be made as well.
BillyJack Posted January 13, 2023 Author Report Posted January 13, 2023 There is a lot of options going on out there that work around a CNC.
BillyJack Posted January 13, 2023 Author Report Posted January 13, 2023 Here is what got me looking into it..
BillyJack Posted January 13, 2023 Author Report Posted January 13, 2023 I’m considering the peel labels for my cam clamps. They/only need be 1” round. I have a lot of old print programs and will need to use the old computer to size them.. I want to use th3 BillyJack symbol.. 2
wtnhighlander Posted January 13, 2023 Report Posted January 13, 2023 Yeah, I think an applied label will show that much better than a transfer to raw wood.
BillyJack Posted January 14, 2023 Author Report Posted January 14, 2023 I just need to get it to size to try… Lot of programs, I’ll just have to get familiar with them again..
