So, what? . . . .. . do I have any spare Richlite for your project?
(yeah, probably I do.)
how's that going anyway? I'm eager to see what you come up with for your bottom feeder.
Oh man now the pressure is on! It turns out you can't just
buy a little piece of richlite. You have to
buy a whole freaking countertop. I may try to find a place that has some scraps I can pillage or just go with aluminum. But I really like the richlite...
I tried drilling straight holes
through a block of wood free hand... That doesn't work. So I bought a drill press yesterday.
Haven't had time yet to mess with it yet but hopefully in the next few days I'll have some straight holes through a block of wood.
I'm the most puzzled by the button and the feed tube setup since you don't really reveal how those are put together... I'll try to come up with something.
One more problem is that I don't have a table saw so I think I'm going to re purpose one of my skill saws and build a table saw out of it.
... All to have an OliveR like bottom feeder.

it's OK though I'm enjoying it.
