gator Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 okay you got those clocks and fretwork pieces all over the house. (don't do it enough) but how do you keep them clean without breaking? tell us maybe someone has something we haven't though of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryEA Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I don't know! I take a airhose which does not do a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendita Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I have a compressor with an airhose but it only does so much I guess the best thing is not to hang onto pieces to long or put them away in a box or plastic bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Not had that problem yet, but this thought occurred to me just now.Make a holder with sides on it and a screen bottom put you pieces in and connect to a vacuum cleaner hose.draws the dust through the screen, but not the pieces.With not too much suction you could stir things around with a small brush to extract most of the small stuff.Hope this helps!

Kepy Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 My solution is to give things away, then I don't have to worry about it. Wilson's Woodworking, Fish and amazingkevin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 When I finish something new the last steps are 0000 steel wool, air compressor, and then put it in a shoe box or other container until I give it away. That way I never have to worry about where my thingie is. Also with my memory there are so many different items I call thingies I cannot keep all of my thingies straight. Never thought to take pictures of all of my thingies. Great idea Robbert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ike Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Giving them away is a good idea but sometimes my wife won't let me and there goes that problem. I have one that I made about 15 years ago and she tells me to clean it and it's hers and that is her problem and she hasn't came up with an answer yet.
