thanks Floyd. I got a few screws at Home Depot and a few washers. I replaced the bearing I used off of my second machine. I haven't run anything yet but I think it should work.

Anyone know of a retail store where I may be able to look to find replacement Cut motor brushes? I have no clue where to look and I dont want to pay for next day from Texas for $10 worth...

thanks everyone... the orange paint is two different colors of spray paint and the stem and cut outs are interior house paint. Just some stuff I had laying around.

its 10x10x10.5...3/4 pine. The light Source is a LED battery operated colman camp lantern that i took the top and glass off of and laid inside at an angle. It worked surprisingly well.

Thanks!

I just finished painting this guy...I used photos of pumpkins to make the MPC files. I left a little bit of wood in the carved out region of his face so when back lit it will shine through. The...

Inside the chest I built a false bottom, carved a fancy lid for it and ran a small rope through it to open it. I did that for two reasons, first when my wife puts things in it for the kids she won't...
