• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

D.I.Y. Paint Mixer/Shaker

Hello fellow S.A.G. members...
If any of you have as many bottles of paint on your shelf as I do, you get tired of mixing them and shaking your arm to death.
Here is a little D.I.Y. Paint Mixer/Shaker idea to help you.

What you need:
1 = standard sabre saw (blade removed)
1 = 4 1/2" Irwin Quick Grip Clamp = $5.67 at Home Depot, (or $17 for 2 @ Lowes...go figure :dizzy ) or, $1.00 each at Harbor Freight + shipping.

Insert the Quick Clamp into saw where the blade was. Make sure you tighten both srews!

Insert a wide veriety of bottles, and "Mix" your paint with ease.

My saw has 2 speeds (Low & High). As I Airbrush with one bottle, I let the next bottle "mix" on LOW speed... If I need to swap out quick, I mix on HIGH for about 15 to 30 seconds.

I hope this helps someone out...
 
great idea , is the grip designed for this purpose or did you have to modify it to fit the saw ?

Hi Bob,
The grip is designed for "small" clamping jobs... I didnt need to mod anything, it fits right into the slot that the saw blade came out of perfect.
