Re: First Scanner, 1x1, 2x4, old furnature piece
I ment to write about not using such a fine thread. On mine it takes like 50 turns to go a 1/2in its kind of a pain. I think I'll just epoxy a crew in my handle so I can turn mine with a drill.

Re: My first and second builds...
Actually, I only have a jigsaw and a drill. Moreover, I do not have a workbench or any other working surface except for a floor in my basement. I wish I could have access to a table saw.
