I think it's like learning to use a baitcaster. Of course, I've discovered that being able to use a dual action brush doesn't mean I can actually paint. I guess it is the same as a baitcaster. I can use one really well, but I can't catch fish! yes I do have a little shake (15 years of wrestling hard working out) and if i need to make a steady stream ill just 2 hand it maybe. idk ill get the hang of it. Im very excited i am wondering whats a better base to paint off of? envirotex or wood thats been sealded with marinelox. I have about 20 blanks pumped out on the lathe and am waiting for materials and tools..... The lathe has been tons of fun.... I need new tools as you could have a PHD in the art of sharpening alone... and i think i ruined them on my current sharpener. luckily my grandpa passed down a adjustable spead water cooled sander with a leather wheel or something? idk but its good for sharpening just... just need a jig and il have perf angles everytime also it needs a new white wheel if anyone knows where to get those.... Im learning something new everytime i hit the lathe... I now realize when people just say go out and do it. theres truly no way to ever type everything. it must be EXPERIENCED. you guys have helped make this experience possible. thanks agian. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 You can look here and see if there's something you can use: http://www.rockler.com/sharpening/sharpening-jigs-and-guides If you overheat a tool while you're sharpening it, and the tip gets too hot, it can either get brittle, or lose it's temper and get soft. Just take your time. A tool doesn't have to have a perfect edge to work, just a sharp one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Glenn Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I tried to learn to stick weld twice and just couldn't get the hang of it. Same with the double action, I have had a couple of them and it was just more thought process than I could be comfortable with. But this is just me and not a thing against double action airbrushes. I'm also 71 now. Just looking for all the excuses that I can instead of just saying I CAN'T PAINT WORTH A FLIP. I still enjoy trying. Good luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
