Hello All new and old! My wife has giving me a a subscription to your magazine. I am an ol dog and well I have been a fan of American wood worker for many years. any way I would like to introduce my self and also ask a couple of questions. As we all know there are and is always a better method. I have been wood working since I was 18 (now 41 shish don’t tell my kids) I worked for major industries doing cabinets windows doors ect. with the big boy machines. Beam saws double end teninors edgebanders drilling machines ect. That is past! I have had thru-out those years and currently have had my own shop, actually have had allot of sales and many special order stuff. (mostly scroll work and lathe work) Three things has speared me to get on this site one that I did like and enjoy the mag, 2# in issue 204 I saw in the letters a spark rekindled, ( I would like to see that article #200 step away from the project.) I read the response to it and am more interested in finding what that person had to say. also I have a sears copy craftsman for a lathe that I lost the instructions for and can not figure out how it is to be put together (looking for some one that has that manual). Also looking to expand my horizons and learn more (The day I learn nothing I achieved nothing, the day I learn nothing is the day closer to doing nothing and providing nothing to the world.) I would like to stay in the achieving and giving and learning side of life.
Thank you all Jeff Hastings

What's the model number of the tool you are looking for a manual for?

I have spent the last 20 min looking at all the parts of this product and find no numbers on it. I do recall that when I origonally made my purchase for this product they sent me one for a flat bed but it was for a 15 inch model of sears craftsman so I sent it back and got the 12 inch model how ever it is for a round bed. Which I do not have however I am working in a machine shop and am able to make parts as needed to adapt this to my lathe. I just went to sears.com and looked up copy crafter in their tools section and I see one that is similar to what I have it is the 15 inch model. but they will not send information on my product and have givin me the manufatures number to the product and they tell me that they no longer make what I have and do not have any manuals for it either.
Thank you for your response, Jeff
One more try, what is the number they gave you?

If you go to sears.com and look for copy crafter in the tool section you will see a 15 inch model that is basicly what it looks like that I have, and by the way thank you for taking time to woirk with me
Thank you Jeff
The manual I posted is for the 12" tubular bed copy crafter which is what you said you had. Were you able to open the pdf file and look at the manual?

I did not see the copyer on the lathe let me look again. Mine looks like the 15" that is shown on the site of sears.com I think that the one you sent to me is from earlyer verions. mine has the 4 big trist handles on the top of it for letting it run the leanght of the project with a huge box under it that holdes the cutter.

Jeff,
I Googled copy crafter sears and got several hits. Might give that a go. Looks like Don (dgreeen) may have found it for you.
Enjoy Knots, we'll do our best to help you out.

Mr Woodie,
Hows about filling in your profile information? I likes to know summick about the Knots corrspondents I'm possibly going to interlocute.
Also, may I suggest the use of paragraphs? My eyes! My eyes! They cannae take them geet big blocks of text, especially if there is a touch of ramble to the prose. (I never ramble myself, oh no).
Finally - at 41 you are no ole dawg. I am an ole dog as I be nearly 60. Also, I learnt how to be a-one from Freki-the-hound, now dead of age. One difference is that I like to learn new tricks. For example, I am looking forward to making myself a gnarly blackthorn stick with which to berate passing children as I shout, "You don't know you're born"! Or, "I fought in the war for you"! (I didn't but we must not let facts get in the way of our polemicky).
Anyroadup - welcome to Knots.

Morning Jeff,
First off, welcome to Knots. It's a great forum to exchange ideas and learn as there are many experienced folks in here.
Could you please elaborate a bit more on your comments with regard to the magazine, i.e. #200 and a desire for more info.
Sounds like you have some solid experience under your belt and it would be interesting to hear more about that too.
Again, welcome and fire away with any questions/observations.
Regards,
Bob @ Kidderville Acres
