WOW. I didn't know that Jet had released a black pen model. How does it compare to the Delta and Powermatic black pens?

Are plans for a round stick in the works?

I can't seem to find what appears to be the "white" wood in the plans. Do you have plans for any other types of wood?
SWMBO has been after me to make one of these to put in her garden so's she can put her little signs up -- I'm trying to decide if I want to modify the original "right pointing" diagram into something that is "down pointing", or just wait for the plans to come out. I'm thinking it might be easier to just wait, cause hopefully by then I'll be able to justify a new tool purchase....

Are there any .dwg digitized drawings for a CNC available?

This is a joke, right? You don't show the length. You don't even say what color you're supposed to paint it. And, are there different colors for a right pointing one, and left pointing one? Suppose you want one to carry point up, or point down? What colors are they supposed to be? These plans are useless for me, I can't work from plans that leave out critical instructions.

I'll say!
Where's the damned cutlist? I can't do anything without a cutlist!!!

Learn to attribute. Then we will know who you are quoting. Without proper attributes, we can only assume that you are talking to yourself.
And I will take some good orginal humor over your grey and gloomy "usefulness" any day.

Please refer to thread "What do YOU use kerosene for?"
Lee spewed:
"usefulness" any day. < (How's that, Lee?)
"orginal" humor? What's that? About body parts?
Here's some "original" thinking for you, Lee.
Preface such a thread with [HUM] or [HUMOR] in the subject line. Then, people looking for "grey and gloomy usefulness" have some warning.
Plus, my rejoinder was intended to be humorous, or at least light-hearted.
Gus
That reminds me, I need new blades for my rejoinder.
Buck Frobisher rejoined:
I believe Norm has one of those. Its used to widen boards that have been over-machined.
Gus
What about the chamfer on the non pointy end? What size is is supposed to be? Can someone tell me how to print the plan backwards to make a left handed pointy stick? Joe
Be sure to get the sharp kind. You don't want a dull rejoinder.
Also be sure to set the blades carefully to determine how big a chunk you take out of the rejoindee on each pass. And apply the rejoinder firmly. Otherwise you're likely to get snipe.

Don't y'all be too harsh on Gus. Seems he got his sense of hoomer caught in a car door.

Oh, so you expected a thread with this title to be
*serious*... I think you're confusing it with the "Pole up my ^~~ thread.===== Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others. ===== {remove curly brackets for email}
And I took it as intended. You WILL be hearing from my psychiatrist. The Pointy Stick Compendium Project is therapeutic - and it gives me an excuse to put off dealing with knife hinges on a coopered door cabinet.
BTW - contributions of original pointy stick designs are beginning to pour in. OK so I've only received one drawing so far. But it was a Tom Plamann original - Mahogany Turned Column with Fluting Pointy Stick - very high end stuff - as expected.

PS - JOAT - I did have dimensions on the plans but figured some folks would have trouble converting from cubits. I know you wouldn't 'cause you worked with cubits during your Tikki making days.
Man, what a bunch of whiners! Here somebody goes to all the trouble of compiling all this useful information and you're asking for basics and nits? Go to the leebrary and get yourself a book on basics of pointy-stick making, then the plans will be crystal clear.

The Hell you say. I'm painting my pointy damn stick yellow, so there.
