There used to be a site ( http://www.theusenetarchive.com/ ) but I don't
think it works anymore.
Google Groups grabbed a lot old usenet posts:
http://dpsinfo.com/help/usinggooglegroups.html
I searched for a previous username that I had and found posts from late
1990. I can't recall when I first joined usenet, but it was some time
back then. The company I worked at the time had usenet access.
That was before I had any type of computer at home. In fact, when the
company switched from Apple to IBM, we got to take these home.

Does anyone? I bought the Penn State because of some really good
reviews and price shopping everything I could find at the time.

I suppose you are aware you can search messages, here, either by subject or poster. I searched Luigi and listings back to at least 2010 showed.
At random, I selected this one... not started by Luigi, but he commented on.

I was mistaken as to the state of Luigi's woodworking pages. They're
still up:
http://www.yukonomics.ca/wooddorking/index.html
Be sure to enjoy the humour page!
I really should link to his page from mine.

I first had UseNet around 1990 also. It was via university
computers/accounts at the time. Archie, Veronica, Kermit... I was friends
with all of them in those days but seriously do not miss them. Today I
struggle to recall the details of our working relationships!

More lurking these days than posting but still here... about 27-28 years now
best I can tell.
I've got all the tools I will ever need and then some so not much tool talk
these days... I "inherited" a bunch of old hand tools from friends and
family the past few years. I spent months this year cleaning and tuning them
up. My electrolysis set up was taken down only a couple days ago.
Most of my recent woodworking projects were small and for gifts. Things like
end grain maple cutting boards and coat racks. The only big project I've
been working on is milling trees into boards with my chainsaw mill. I got a
bunch of beaver killed cherry last year that I recently finished sawing and
stickering. I've been collecting ash too. The ash is for flooring for my
house. That project is coming along. Not much to talk about there... lots
of repetition! I am getting a lot more ash from a tree service guy I know.
He has a job lined up to take down trees that are still partially alive but
will be dead soon. He's going to let me use his Woodmizer to cut that up...
The Eastern Ash Borer has been moving through the area for a while now. I
took down 36 trees at my parents house, all but 6 were ash. One day I
removed 37 fallen ash from a 2 mile stretch of a rail trail. Most were not
big enough to bother milling.
Still lurking...

Ah, I've bought stuff from KenCraft before and I like them. I didn't know they
carried dust collection fittings; thanks.

All my dust collection ducting is 4" schedule 20. You can buy it and
fittings at Home Depot for cheap. Specialty fittings I either made or
bought at Grizzly.

Seems like somebody might have been interested in buying the dust collection
part of their business, but I don't see any evidence of that.

The obvious choice yes, but their stuff was always a lot higher than Penn
State. I'm mainly interested in the various "wye" joints, but GEEZ those
things are expensive, and Oneida doesn't even make the one I want: 7x7x4
(neither does KenCraft). Penn State sold them and I have two, but I'd like a
couple more. I guess I'll have to reduce down from 7" to 6" and get a few
6x6x4 wye joints. The only metal fittings that Grizzly sells are "industrial"
grade and their prices are flat-out ridiculous.

Looks like I could get some "saddle" fittings from KenCraft:
https://www.kencraftcompany.com/product/24-gauge-sheet-metal-saddles/
The 4" on 7" fittings would need to be special-ordered, but I could probably
convince the 4" on 6" fittings to fit on a 7" trunk.

Hmmm...I always thought Penn State was just a marketer of import Chinese
stuff. Did they actually do anything of their own besides just resell
imports?
I'd not looked in ages and never bought a thing from 'em, but used to
get the catalogs pretty regularly.
Disappointing a ductwork source has gone south, though, I've needed to
get the DC setup for the PM 180 for quite some time now and it was
sorta' getting close to the next item on the list...hadn't yet quite
decided where wanted to end up putting it in the barn...first floor
ceiling height is quite limited so that's something of an issue as it's

Thanks for sharing!
I have 45,959 messages from 2004-2018 archived on my computer. There are
several specialty folders that contain another 10,000 or so messages. I can
send these to you if you have a working copy of Forte Agent 1.0-1.93 . I was
forced to upgrade to a new version when Comcast went to SSL which was not
supported back then. The databases are not backwards compatible beginning with
Agent 2.0.
On one of the backup drives should be archived messages from 1996 (or so) and
2004.
Regards,
Roy

Home Owner's Hub and Google Groups. Luigi had some but I think his site
is mostly gone. The woodgears.ca guy has at least a partial archive of
the binary group.
If you can point me to a URL of a gem, I'll add it to my archive. I'll
add it even faster if you can minimize the amount of work I have to do.

Rockler has it for decent prices as spiral duct goes. McMaster of
course has everything, but they're a good bit higher than Rockler on
the pieces I checked.

We'd get great messages like this one...
Is there a place in the shop for an abacus?
I just got a new one for the house and thought I could use the old one out
in the shop. What abacus software do you like to run? Is it worth the
three sheckles to buy one of those unit conversion programs?
