Returning.

 I'm thinking Strongly about starting my Blog back up.

I seen my last post was in 2019.

My Facebook account a few months ago got hacked, and because I could NOT give an answer with my Appeal, I basically admitted that I did post what was posted. And this is FAR from the truth.

My account got Hacked. Facebook give me a chance to appeal their decision. And because they don't let you give an answer, just a Yes or No to appeal. That basically means you "admitted" to posting things that were posted. And again, this is FAR from the truth.

So Facebook Banned my account for 30 days. Even though I sent in the appeal. 30 days has passed, they give me ANOTHER 158 days to appeal their decision or have my account Permanant Disabled. The next day, they send me an email and told me my account has been disabled permanently.

And because of this I no longer have Access to Handi's Workshop OR Handi's Creation's where I sell my Woodworking. And i refuse to start a new page/group for my Workshop.

So i think I'll just return back here and hope that I receive the same views as I have on Facebook.

On a Side note, I'll be cleaning up my shop (Long time coming) and getting out there to get some things done for the house. So stay tuned for some more updates and stay up to date by subscribing to the Blog by following.

Band Saw

Was getting ready to work on a project for a Customer.

Wanted some Garage Door hinges (Deco) cut out. So I traced the OLD one onto the wood, got my Pneumatic Saws All out and ripped it down pretty quick.

Went over to the Band Saw to cut it out with because it was almost 2" Long adn my Scroll saw only does 16" in length.

So with the Band saw i could've knocked it out pretty quick, bot i turned it on and it spun a little then whined. Spun a little and whined.

So I open the top door, Wheel looked fine, Blade was on right and balanced.

So I opened the Bottom Door.

This is what I seen.

My Belt was Dry rotted and it just shredded, so now I've got to order a new belt before I can use my Band Saw again.

On a Side note I managed to cut out one on the scroll saw..

Here is the Original, Traced and Cut one. Enjoy.

Original

 Traced

 Cut

I had to cut to the left then to the right. Then I had to turn it around to meet in the middle. Although it took LONGER to do this I was impressed how i was able to finish it up. I'm probably losing money because of the Length of time it's taking to do this, but I've already quoted teh Customer and I'm not going back on my word.

I contacted the customer and told her that I'd have them finished by tomorrow evening, I had to cut shop time in half because I had some personal issues I had to address, then as late as it was getting, it was time to get the animals fed for the evening.

Garage Door Hinge

Ok, This here is a Garage Door Hinge. It bolts onto the Garage door to simulate a hinge on the garage.

This was made from MDF it appears. The moisture got to it and it started separating like paper.

So I'll be replicating this piece into 2 pieces one for either side. Unfortunately I probably won't be getting a finished product ON The garage itself. But I'll be showing the final product.

To tackle this Job i believe the Band saw will be the best option for this, it is probably close to 24" long and around 6" wide. My Scroll saw will only go 16" so will be to long unless i can do it such a way by doing it half and half.

Running the bottom half on the left side and the right side. Then reversing it form the bottom and doing the left and right and meet in the middle.

Guess we'll see how that works out. if anything, I can use a Jig Saw to cut it out.

The customer will be purchasing 1/2" Ply in order to get this cut out.
