Hello mate and welcome to CA
Your works are telling that you have trained a lot of your artistic skills.Btw try using less black in shadows, because black makes it dull in the end.(if a warm light is hitting your object then its not that bad to use some black with low opacity or multiply,to make cold shadows,because black makes it a little colder)
Keep making them less rough with cleaner lines etc.
And i would like to see some pencil work as well
See ya

kingkostas - Thank you for your reply. I tryed 1.5 h speedpaint after thought about your shading guide. It's helpful to have at least one reply as yours. I'll draw with that in mind and hope to bring it a few steps further from my current paintings. I'm really grateful

Your pieces are very creative and imaginative - something that I have found to be far more difficult to attain than simply being able to render something accurately. Your technical skills definitely need polishing and practice, but one day, you're going to be a fantastic artist. I'm absolutely sure of it.

Khalo - thank you for your compliment. I allways thought my painting were not so creative at all, because of a boring angles and low dynamics . There are many examples that inspire to work, work and work and push yourself to get better results. It's a secret, but I was soooo inspired by DA gallery of Marek Okon )) And now I believe that everything is possible )
Some monster sketch, and old pen/pencil sketches. Don't know about drawing with graphite now, since having a universal drawing tool like photoshop makes it easier to forget about pencil ;(

Pretty good spacious tent. takes a while to put up first time (over an hour), but not too difficult for 2 people. some issues with robustness - son put pole through pole sleeve, one of zips broke, and a toggle came unsewn, but nothing unanticipated for the price.

Shaw hides his face after Hosmer ties the game with a double The Cleveland Indians had been having a fairly nice year compared to expectations. After today they are trailing the Royals by a half game. It looked like Cleveland was in line for a win after Carlos Carrasco worked 7 shutout innings. The 8th inning proved to be a little trickier. After putting a man on second, Carrasco exited, leaving Bryan Shaw to shut the door. He did not. An Eric Hosmer double tied the game. And then in the 9th Cleveland goes Cleveland by giving up the winning run on a wild pitch – courtesy of Matt Albers. Not a great way to leave the field. Lets detail the mess.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - George Jones, whose supple Texas voice conveyed heartbreak so profound that he became perhaps the most imitated singer in country music, died Friday at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville after being hospitalized with high fever and irregular blood pressure. He was 81.
Hank Williams may have set country music's mythology and Johnny Cash its attitude, but Jones gave the genre its ultimate voice. With recordings that spanned 50 years, including Number One singles White Lightning, She Thinks I Still Care and He Stopped Loving Her Today, Jones influenced ...

Last year, the Wolfpack had an excellent start, going 4-0 to open their season. Then, the reality of conference play set in, and they went on a four game losing skid, all to ACC opponents. They did finish the season strong, winning four out of their last five games. The proudest moment of the season was their victory against UNC at Chapel Hill. Ask any NC State fan, and they will tell you it doesn't matter how poorly they play the whole season, as long as they beat UNC, they are happy. Last year was a great year for NC State; let's see how 2015 is shaping up for them.
2015 Schedule:
The offense for the Wolfpack is led by QB Jacoby Brissett. Brissett was a transfer player from Florida. In his junior year, Brissett did excellent work throwing for over 2,500 yards, 23 touchdowns, and only five interceptions. The only bad part for Brissett is that his two top receivers transferred at the end of the season. The departure of two great pass catchers leaves the Wolfpack receiving corps looking rather thin heading into 2015. The rushing game for NC State was rather impressive last season with the Pack averaging 204.5 rushing yards per game. The running back that was responsible for the majority of those yards was Shadrach Thornton. Thornton rushed for almost a thousand yards last season and rushed for 9 TDs. Having such a great ground game kept their turnovers down to only 15 the whole season. Thornton is heading into his senior season this year and is looking to increase his draft stock. This season, the O-line is bringing back three starters who will hope to open plenty of holes. The line will also hope to protect their QB a lot better, seeing as they allowed over thirty sacks.
The rushing defense for the Wolfpack last season was average at best, allowing around 168 rush yards per game. The last five games of the season, the run protection became stouter by not allowing more than 85 yards in four out of five games. Sadly, for NC State, they lost three starters on their defensive line. This will be hard to replace, but there is some young talent to fill their shoes. The anchor of the line will likely be DT B.J. Hill, who had 40 tackles and 7.5 tackles for loss last season. The pass defense for the Pack did an excellent job last season of preventing a lot of air travel. They allowed, on average, 204.7 pass yards per game, which ranked 30th in the nation. The secondary still has all of its members on the team and are looking to fly under a lot of their opponents radars and surprise them.
2015 Outlook:
Strength of Schedule: 5 out of 10
The schedule for the Wolfpack is extremely soft through the first four non-conference games (Troy, East Kentucky, Old Dominion, and South Alabama). However, it soon gets harder for them as they have to face Virginia Tech, Florida State, and an up and coming Boston College team, all on the road. The schedule does swing in their favor some as they do have Clemson and Louisville at home. The biggest highlight of the season for NC State will be their home finale, when their rivals, the UNC Tar Heels, come to Raleigh. I feel the offense for NC State is pretty set up, besides the receiving situation. The defense is full of guys who are young and underrated who hope to step up and make a difference this year. I expect the Wolfpack to be able to make it to their fifth bowl game in the past six years.
2016 NFL Draft Prospects:
#12 Jacoby Brissett, QB, Senior—6'4", 231 lbs
#10 Shadrach Thornton, RB, Senior—6'1", 206 lbs

The Director's Report
After winning Super Bowls following the 2007 and 2011 seasons, the New York Giants have gone in the wrong direction. While they used to rule the NFC East, those days are gone, and currently, they are far behind division rivals Philadelphia and Dallas. In 2015, the Giants have to take a step forward. If it doesn't happen, there could be changes made.
One of the reasons for the Giants demise has been the play of quarterback Eli Manning. In the last three seasons, his overall production has really dropped off. While he was one considered one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, that is no longer the case. His decision making and accuracy are not what they used to be. The Giants are hopeful that Eli can turn things around in 2015.
In 2014, the Giants installed a new offense under offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo. With this being Eli's second year in the system, his overall play may improve. Behind Manning is third year man Ryan Nassib who continues to show improvement but really hasn't had much of a chance to play.
Running Back
One of the reasons that Manning's play may have slipped is the Giants have not gotten much from their running backs in the last few years. Last year, they signed Rashad Jennings and drafted Andre Williams with the hope of getting more production, but that didn't really happen. This year, they signed former Patriot Shane Vereen, and the hope is that the three of them, who all have different styles, can complement each other and produce.
Offensive Line
The reality is that the lack of offensive punch could be traced back to the very average play of the offensive line. Age, injury, and lack of production have hurt the line. This offseason, the Giants have rebuilt their line looking for a change.
Will Beatty was supposed to be the left tackle, but the oft injured lineman tore a pectoral muscle during the offseason and will miss most, if not all, of the season. The Giants were hoping to play rookie first round pick Ereck Flowers at right tackle, but with the injury to Beatty, Flowers will play on the left side, where he lined up in college. The right tackle will be Marshall Newhouse, a free agent signee from Cincinnati.
The left guards will be former first round pick Justin Pugh, who has been moved inside after playing his first two years at tackle. At right guard, veteran Geoff Schwartz will line up. If Schwartz can stay healthy, he can be a very good player for the Giants.
The center will be 2014 second round pick Weston Richburg who played well as a rookie at guard. He is a natural center and has the makings of being a strong leader.
Wide Receiver and Tight End
The Giants 2014 first round pick Odell Beckham Jr. just may have been the top rookie in his class. After going through the offseason with a hamstring injury, Beckham Jr exploded with 91 receptions for over 1300 yards. As good as Beckham Jr is, he can be even better if Victor Cruz comes back 100% from last year's injury. If Cruz is 100%, the Giants will have one of the better wide receiver combos in the NFL.
The third receiver is Rueben Randle, who has shown flashes in his three previous seasons but no consistency. He is very talented but needs to put it all together. The tight end will be Larry Donnell, who keeps getting better with experience. When Donnell is on his game, he shows some special qualities.
The Giants have depth at tight end with Daniel Fells and Adrien Robinson, but Preston Parker is unproven. The Giants hope that free agent Dwayne Harris becomes a key addition.
The Giants' defense has struggled the past few seasons, and coordinator Perry Fewell was let go. New York went back to the future, so to speak, by hiring former defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo to replace Fewell. When the Giants defense was run by Spagnuolo, it was always one of the better defenses in the league.
Defensive Line
Going into training camp, who starts along the line is a mystery. Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul has yet to sign his franchise tender. When healthy, Pierre Paul is a terrific pass rusher and will man the right end spot.
Who lines up at left end will be determined in camp with rookie Owamagbe Odighizuwa, Robert Ayers, and Damontre Moore competing for the spot. Regardless of who becomes the starter, all will play in the rotation as will second year man Kerry Wynn. Odighizuwa is raw but has the natural traits to become a star in time.
At tackle, one spot is locked up, and that belongs to Jonathan Hankins. He was the best all-around player on the Giants' defensive line a year ago. Next to him will be either Kendrick Ellis or second year man Jay Bromley. Cullen Jenkins and Markus Kuhn also figure into the equation.
The linebacker corps will have a different look than a year ago. The new starters will be Devon Kennard at Sam and J.T. Thomas at Will. Kennard started six games as a rookie last year and fared well. Thomas, a former draft choice of the Bears, started for Jacksonville a year ago.
At Mike will be veteran Jon Beason. When healthy, Beason can be very good, but he hasn't been able to stay healthy. He only played four games a year ago. If Beason goes down, either Jameel McClain or Mark Herzlich will take over. Both have versatility in that they can play more than one linebacker position.
The Giants needed to address the safety position in the draft and did so by trading up in the second round to select Alabama's Landon Collins. Many felt that Collins was the best safety in this year's draft. Collins should line up on the strong side. At free safety, the favorite to start is second year man Nat Berhe. While Berhe is talented, he missed most of the offseason work. If he can't go when camp begins, rookie Mykkele Thompson could get the nod.
The corners should be Prince Amukamara and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Amukamara missed eight games a year ago and Rodgers-Cromartie played hurt much of the season. Depth will come from the group of Josh Gordy, Chykie Brown, and Mike Harris. Brown may also get a look at safety.
Having spent over half my scouting career with the Giants, I would like nothing more than to see them back on top of the NFC East. There isn't a better organization in the NFL to work for than the New York Giants.
While my heart wants the G-Men to do well, I just don't see it happening. They don't have the talent base that division rivals Philadelphia and Dallas have. If the Giants are going to be successful, Eli Manning has to be the player he was four years ago, and Steve Spagnuolo has to work magic with the defense. Going into training camp, I cant see the Giants finishing any better than third in the NFC East in 2015.

The Director's Report
In 2015, like most recent years, the road to the playoffs in the NFC North is through the Green Bay Packers. This is a difficult task. As long as the Packers have the duo of Mike McCarthy at Head Coach and Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, the Packers will always be at or near the top of the NFC North. While the club may have some weaknesses, they are strong where they need to be strong.
At this stage of his career, Aaron Rodgers is one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. Other than durability, there isn't a weakness to his game. He is athletic with excellent arm strength, and his ability to read defenses is second to none. Add that to uncanny accuracy, and it would be hard to find someone better.
The problem Green Bay has at the quarterback position is that they don't have much behind Rodgers. This has been proven several times in the past when Rodgers has gone down. Scott Tolzien can't be expected to win games. Rookie Brett Hundley from UCLA is an athlete with an excellent arm. It ends there. His game actually regressed from 2013 to 2014. While he has some excellent physical traits, he is not a good decision maker and lacks good instincts.
Running Back
The duo of James Starks and Eddie Lacy has been very productive for the Pack. Lacy is an excellent between-the-tackles power runner, while Starks provides some big play ability. Both are very good receivers out of the backfield.
The Packers are one of the few teams that utilize a fullback and John Kuhn is one of the best. As good as Kuhn is, rookie Aaron Ripkowski will challenge Kuhn for a roster spot. Ripkowski was one of the better run blockers in college football a year ago.
The two starting receivers are excellent and know and understand the Green Bay system. Jordy Nelson is a big, physical guy with excellent hands and run-after-catch skills. Randall Cobb has the speed to get deep and, like Nelson, is excellent after the catch. Last year's second round pick Davante Adams played well and had 38 receptions. He should take a jump in 2015 after being in the system a year.
The tight end position has always been strong in Green Bay. Right now, I don't feel it is. Second-year man Richard Rodgers came on in the latter part of 2014, but I don't see him as having anything special in his game. Andrew Quarless and Justin Perillo are just journeyman.
Offensive Line
The Packers have their entire starting five back from a year ago. The tackles are Bryan Bulaga and Davis Bakhtiari. The guards are T.J. Lang and Josh Sitton, and the center is Corey Lindsey. While the group isn't physically imposing, and there isn't a real dominating player among them, they play very well together, and all can pass block. Sitton is the most consistent and productive member of the O-Line.
Third year man J.C Tretter from Cornell was supposed to start last year at center but a preseason injury allowed Lindsey to play, and he isn't about to give up his starting position. Tretter has position versatility and will be the first man in if any of the interior guys get injured. Don Barclay is the main tackle reserve.
Defensive Line
The Packers were in danger of losing some key defensive lineman to free agency, but they were able to re-sign the key players.
Nose tackle B.J. Raji is excellent versus the run but doesn't give much as a pass rusher. Letroy Guion is very consistent as an end and is equally good versus both run and pass. The best player on the defensive line is undersized Mike Daniels. Though he is only six feet tall, he plays hard and is very productive. He has 12 sacks over the last two seasons.
Datone Jones plays mostly in pass situations and has been effective as a pass rusher both inside and out. Mike Pennel and Josh Boyd will battle it out for the backup nose tackle position.
Defensive Coordinator Dom Capers uses his linebackers in a variety of ways, and he is capable of lining them up anywhere.
The lead player of the group is of course Clay Matthews. Matthews has spent most of his career outside but was moved inside midway through the season and played exceptionally. He brought more speed and athleticism to the position. Even when inside, he was still used as a pass rusher on passing downs.
No one quite knew how Julius Peppers would adjust to playing linebacker. While it took him a few games to adjust, he was his usual self the second half of the season. While he may be in his feet for base downs, he is still playing down in pass rush situations.
The starter opposite Matthews inside will be either Sam Barrington or Carl Bradford. Barrington started and played well at the end of last year. Rookie Jake Ryan from Michigan also has to play into the equation as he is very instinctive and productive. He could move ahead of Barrington or Bradford.
The other outside linebacker looks to be Nick Perry. The Packers did not pick up the fifth year option on his rookie contract so this is a make or break year for him. The key reserves who will get playtime are Mike Neal, who is very versatile, and Andy Mulumba.
If Ryan plays up to his potential, it may allow Capers to move Matthews back outside opposite Peppers, and that will really help the Green Bay pass rush. If that is the case, Ryan would start with either Barrington or Bradford inside.
The secondary lost some key people during the off season, and it remains to be seen how much of an effect it will have. Gone are former corner starter Tramon Williams and backup Davon House.
The replacement for Williams will most likely be Casey Hayward. Opposite Heyward may be one of two rookies. Top pick Damarious Randall played safety at Arizona State but has corner traits and played a lot of corner during OTAs. Second round pick Quinton Rollins from Miami (Ohio) also got some reps with the ones. Rollins, though inexperienced as a player, has great ball skills. Veteran Sam Shields also has to be in the equation.
At safety, the Packers have last year's top rookie Ha Ha Clinton-Dix at strong safety and Morgan Burnett at free. Green Bay would like more production from Burnett and one of the rookies (Rollins, Randall) could challenge him as they can also play safety.
The Packers may have lost some key players, but they still have a strong roster. Still, the key to their success will be the health of Rodgers. As long as he is the quarterback, the Packers will rule the division.

Coming out of the Big Ten conference is a team that is trying to return back to their former glory, the Penn State Nittany Lions. Last season was an excellent year for the Lions as they went to their first bowl game since the end of their post-season ban. They also had a respectable 7-6 season but a disappointing 2-6 conference record. Let's take a look at the outlook for their 2015 season:
2015 Schedule:
The offense for the Nittany Lions last season was hard to watch to say the least. First, let's look at their rushing game. Last season, only one running back was able to rush for over 100 yards in a game, and that was junior back, Akeel Lynch. The number one spot is unquestionably his, but the number two spot is still up for grabs between sophomores Mark Allen, Nick Scott, and Jonathan Thomas. The passing game has a rising star in its midst, a junior QB named Christian Hackenburg. Hackenburg is NFL material. He just has to be more of a consistent passer and make better decisions. Last season was rough for him as he threw for just under 3,000 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. The main target for Hackenburg will be DaeSean Hamilton. Thankfully, they have a deep WR staff this year to take the pressure off of Hamilton and reduce heavy coverage. The offensive line will also look to improve from an underwhelming season seeing as they gave up, on average, three sacks per game. The O-line does have a lot more experience and should be much better than last season.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Lions did an excellent job. Their run defense was one of the best at slowing down the rushing attack by allowing on average only 100.5 rushing yards per game (3rd in the nation) and 2.95 yards per carry (2nd in the nation). Senior Defensive Tackle and top draft prospect Anthony Zettel hopes to remain the anchor for this defense and keep those low run totals down. He will have some help on the interior from junior lineman Austin Johnson. Both of these guys are great inside and will be important to the pass rush and run defense for the Lions. The hardest part of heading into this new season will be replacing LB Mike Hull and his 140 tackles from last season. When you have a player that productive, he is hard to replace. The pass defense for Penn State was, likewise, great last season. They allowed on average only 178.2 passing yards per game. Their secondary is stacked, led by senior safety Jordan Lucas. Also, their corners have great depth and are tough for receivers to deal with. Expect the defense for the Lions to be suffocating once again this year.
2015 Outlook:
Strength of Schedule: 5 out of 10
Penn State has a fairly soft schedule this season. They play a lot of low par teams this season at home (Buffalo, Rutgers, San Diego State, Army, and Indiana). Also, they avoid top conference foes such as Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Iowa. The only reason I don't give them a 4 out of 10 is because they do face Ohio State and Michigan State, both on the road. While both should be great games, the odds are not in their favor, and the Lions will likely lose those two matchups. On the defensive side of the ball, the Lions are set to have a suffocating defense, but with not knowing what to expect from the offense, this season is up in the air. I do expect Penn State to best last year's 7 wins and go to a decent bowl game this year, but there is no chance of them winning the Big 10.
Three 2016 NFL Draft Prospects to Watch:
#14 QB, Christian Hackenberg, Junior—6'4", 234 lbs
#98 DL, Anthony Zettel, Senior—6'4", 274 lbs
#9 SS, Jordan Lucas, Senior—6'0", 198 lbs

The Director's Report
I realize that this topic can be the subject of debate and conversation. In saying that, when I made my list of the top running backs currently in the NFL, career production and the ability to sustain that top production were part of the criteria.
Durability and longevity are two criteria that go into making a back great. Having been part of 30 NFL drafts, I know that when a club drafts a running back, they are hoping that they can get four of five good years out of that player. The player getting to a second contract is almost an afterthought. The great ones have a way of staying healthy and being productive for a long period of time.
Adrian Peterson – Minnesota
In all my years of scouting, I don't think I have ever seen a running back quite like Peterson. Most backs with his physical style don't last long as the wear and tear on their bodies breaks them down long before they would want. That hasn't been the case with Peterson. He has had his fair share of injuries, yet still comes back strong, and his play has not dropped off. He still has the speed and burst he had as a young back and still runs with a very violent style. He is one of the most punishing running backs in football.
Having missed most of the 2014 season because of off field issues, Peterson may just be better than ever. The year off has only given him a chance to rest his legs, and he should be in top form right from the get go. It would not surprise me to see him run for over 1500 yards in 2015.
Marshawn Lynch – Seattle
Like Peterson, Lynch is an extremely violent runner. He may even be more explosive on contact than A.P. It is my feeling that if it weren't for Lynch, Russell Wilson would not be nearly as productive as he is. Having Lynch in the backfield keeps defenses honest and allows Wilson to do more.
This is Marshawn's ninth year, yet the last four years have been his most productive. Over that time span, Lynch has run for 5357 yards for a 4.53 yards per carry average and 48 touchdowns. Like Peterson, he shows no signs of slowing down. Lynch has also been a very good receiver over that span with 124 receptions and nine touchdowns.
What I find amazing about Lynch is that he is not that big. He is listed as being 215, but he looks and plays much bigger. His durability over the last five seasons has been amazing, and he has not missed a game over the last three seasons.
LeSean McCoy – Buffalo
When McCoy came out of Pittsburgh for the 2009 draft, I had no idea he would be as productive for such a long period of time because of his build. He just isn't a very big guy. He plays between 204-208 but looks like a 190 pound guy.
As small as he is, his durability has been excellent. He has missed only six games in six seasons and has never had a major injury. The worst injury he has had to deal with is a severe ankle sprain. That said, he should be able to play productively for at least another three years.
While Peterson and Lynch are power backs, McCoy is an elusive "scatback". He can move laterally almost as quickly as he moves straight ahead. He has a rare burst, and his instincts are second to none.
As far as production, it's top notch. In six years, he has run for 6792 yards and 44 touchdowns. He has also had 300 receptions for another 2282 yards and another 10 touchdowns.
I felt McCoy was a perfect fit for Chip Kelly's offense, but obviously, Kelly didn't feel the same way. It will be interesting to see how McCoy fares in Buffalo in a new scheme. Buffalo always seems to get production out of their backs.
Matt Forte – Chicago
This pick may surprise some, but in my opinion, there may not be a better all-around back in the league. Forte is a very good runner and an excellent receiver. He just may be the best receiver out of the backfield in the NFL. There is no back, other than McCoy, who compares with Forte as far as being able to both run and catch.
Forte has had a few injury issues, but he has always bounced back and been productive after. This will be Forte's eighth season, and the former second round draft pick has run for 7,704 yards and 41 touchdowns. In that time, he has also caught 443 passes for another 3727 yards and 16 touchdowns. The 443 receptions is at the top as far as running backs go.
Forte has good size at about 6'2 – 218, but he isn't a power back. He is more of a glider who has very good instincts, and he doesn't take many big hits. While Lynch and Peterson are collision runners, Forte is the opposite.
At 29 years of age, Forte does not have many years left, but being on a John Fox coached team, you know he is going to have a very strong year. Fox has always had a way of making the running back a key part of the offense. Forte's best year as a rusher was 1349 yards in 2013. He could top that this year.
DeMarco Murray – Philadelphia
I was a little hesitant at putting Murray in this slot, but after watching tape from last year, I feel that DeMarco is just beginning to come into his own. The beneficiary of that will be the Philadelphia Eagles as Murray should be able to put up some huge numbers in that offense. Granted, he won't be playing behind the line he had in Dallas, but the Philly line is plenty good.
This will be Murray's fifth year in the NFL. His first two years were average to say the least with him running for a total of 1560 yards in those two seasons. The last two years have been outstanding. In 2013, he ran for 1121 yards and nine touchdowns, while last year, he had 1845 yards and 13 touchdowns. He has also shown that he is a very good receiver out of the backfield with a career total of 171 receptions in four years. 110 of those catches have come in the last two seasons.
What I like about Murray is that he is a physical runner similar to both Lynch and Peterson, and he still should be able to improve his game. If he has a weakness, it's that he fumbles a bit more than most would like.
Others that I thought about for this list were Frank Gore and Jamaal Charles. As good as Le'Veon Bell was in 2014, he still hasn't done it over a period of time. He could be on this list in another year or two.

A self-contained vacuum circular saw is presented. The vacuum saw has a casing around the saw blade that includes an accordion type lower section attached to the lower platform of the saw. A number of vacuum tubes, preferably four, are attached to the side of the circular saw opposite the blade. The armature of the circular saw that turns the blade also turns the vacuum impeller on the side opposite the blade. An impeller vacuum chamber pulls in the dust and debris created by the saw blade and discharges the dust and debris into a disposable and removable vacuum bag. An important aspect of this device is that the motor that turns the saw blade also turns the impeller, thus making the self-contained vacuum saw moveable from site to site.

This invention relates to the field of carpentry and sawing. More particularly, a self-contained vacuum saw is presented which picks up dust and debris from a circular saw during the operation of the saw.
In the carpentry field, it has been commonplace to use saws of various types. From the first primitive hand saw, to tree saws, to electrically operated saws such as jigsaws or circular saws, the carpentry and building trades often utilize such mechanical devices. One major drawback of these saws during construction work is that much dust and debris can accumulate as a result of cutting wood, dry wall, or concrete. Particularly for inside work, the dust that can accumulate in a room often would require hours of clean-up after the initial construction phase and the sawing is completed.
During inside work, and particularly in areas where remodeling is being done, the dust problem poses quite a quandary for the workmen. In remodeling, the workmen are often required to remove and replace a door, window, or wall or to install and cut dry wall in a closed room. These rooms often have furniture and electronic appliances sensitive to dust accumulation. Fine dry-wall dust accumulation can cause many problems. One approach to solving this problem would be to remove all of the furniture in the room or to cover the furniture or electronic appliances with tarps or plastic. This, of course, would require many man hours and would be an expensive proposition. It is an object of this invention to provide a self contained vacuum saw that would eliminate approximately ninety percent or more of the dust accumulated as a result of the construction process.
Although certain vacuum devices have been attached to circular saws or concrete saws, these devices are not self contained and do not allow the workman to transport his circular saw to and around the worksite. For example, table saws at hardware stores may be attached to an in-house vacuum system. However, the table saw is stationary and cannot be transported to any other site. In addition, the vacuum system on such saws requires a separate power source to operate the vacuum. It is another object of this invention to provide a self contained circular saw which may be transported to the worksite. Another object of this invention is to provide a self-contained circular vacuum saw which may be transported to a worksite and which is powered from the motor of the circular saw itself.
Often, when a circular saw or other type of electrical saw is used outside, a power source such as an electric cord or gasoline electric generator is required in order to power the saw. It is a still further object of this invention to provide a self-contained vacuum saw that can be used utilizing only one electrical source of power to operate both the saw blade and the attached vacuum unit.
Other objects of this invention will become apparent upon reading the below described specification.
A self-contained vacuum saw has as its primary objective the collection of dust and debris from a cut being made with a power saw. While there are many types of power saws, the below described device is attached to a circular saw as an example. However, this attachment for a circular saw is an illustration only and is not meant to limit the scope of the disclosure. The invention disclosed herein has many applications to power saws.
A circular saw has a body containing a blade and a motor. The saw also has a lower platform for supporting the saw on the wood, wallboard, or other material being cut. In the preferred embodiment of this invention, a saw blade chamber encloses the circular saw cutting blade from the top of the blade to the lower saw platform. Vacuum hoses are attached to the saw blade chamber and are connected to the opposite side of the saw at an impeller vacuum chamber. The impeller of the vacuum chamber is run from the same armature that turns the saw blade. As the saw motor turns the saw blade and armature, the dust and debris created by the saw blade is pulled into the vacuum chamber and ultimately expelled into the vacuum bag. A clear cover over the outside part of the saw blade allows the workman to see the blade. Bellows are attached between the lower portion of the saw blade enclosure and a lower platform. These flexible bellows allow the workman to adjust the saw blade up or down or to pivot the saw blade to cut angles.
A self-contained vacuum saw, shown in its full embodiment in
As shown schematically in
The vacuum housing (9 and 9′) contains a vacuum housing exhaust port 10. This exhaust port 10 is adapted to receive the dust and debris pulled into the vacuum housing by the impeller. This material is then discharged through the exhaust port 10.
Attached to the outer portion of the exhaust port 10 is a metal exhaust port tube 10′. Attached to the exhaust tube 10′ is a vacuum bag 11. The type of vacuum bag 11 used on this particular device must be tighter than the normal bags on the market. The bags could be disposable for fine dust accumulated such as in drywall cutting or washable for coarser work such as cutting materials like wood. Particular types of bags utilized to catch and collect fine debris such as that produced in drywall cutting are in common use in the industry and are well known in the art.
Turning now to
Attached to the circular shoulder 13 of the saw blade chamber is a plurality of vacuum tubes 14. These vacuum tubes are connected between the blade chamber and the vacuum housing. The preferred embodiment shown herein has four hoses 14 that must be strategically positioned to allow for the most efficient collection of dust and debris. After much experimentation, it has been found that a single hose simply introduced at one part of the saw blade chamber is inefficient and would not be effective in gathering the amount of dust and debris accumulated during a saw cut.
In one embodiment of this device, the front two hoses 14′ vacuum up most of the dust. However, these front hoses 14′ must be strategically placed. In the preferred embodiment herein, the front two vacuum hoses 14′ are located at approximately two o'clock and three o'clock on a twelve o'clock dial on the circumference of the shoulder 13, with reference being had to
Other hoses should also be attached to the saw blade chamber. In one embodiment, as best shown in FIG. 4, two additional vacuum tubes 14 would be located at the ten o'clock and nine o'clock position.
It has also been found that moving the nine o'clock vacuum hose to an alternate position, as shown in drawing
In order to complete the saw blade chamber, a lower saw blade bellows 15 is attached to the bottom part of the saw blade chamber as best shown in
The bellows 15 is an accordion-style flexible and bendable bellows as shown in the drawing figures. The bellows 15 needs to be flexible and bendable in order for, the adjustable saw blade to be maneuverable within the saw blade chamber to adjust for angles and depths of cut. A lower bellows attaching bracket 16, as shown in
Another variation of the placement of the vacuum hoses 14 of this device is shown in
Once the bellows are attached to the upper part of the saw blade chamber, the saw blade is almost completely enclosed. (Due to the fact that the saw blade must move and may not always be completely flush against the work piece, the chamber is not always one hundred Percent sealed. However, the chamber does provide a virtual seal for the saw blade.) The saw blade chamber is created by the upper semi-circular saw blade shoulder 13, the outer plate 12, the inner plate 12′, the bellows 15 and the lower saw platform 5. In combination, these elements create a saw blade chamber.
When the blade 4 is turned by the electric motor and cuts the work piece, the dust and debris created is pulled up into the vacuum tubes 14 and 14′ by the impeller and is deposited in the vacuum bag 11. This process is best shown in the schematic drawing
As shown in
Another refinement to this device is illustrated in
One important modification of the standard circular saw is shown in
However, as a modification of the standard saw pivot point, a circular saw of this alternate embodiment may pivot at outer pivot point 23 as best shown schematically in
A key concept of this invention is utilizing the electric motor of a standard circular saw to run both the saw blade and the impeller. This modification of existing circular saws allows the saw to be self contained and moveable from site to site. Modifying the armature to support the impeller, along with the other structure necessary to create the saw blade chamber on the saw side and the vacuum chamber on the impeller side is an important and innovative part of this invention.
The dimensions for the various elements can be varied according to the uses and designs of the power saws. For example, the saw blade chamber may be anywhere from two inches wide, as shown approximately in the drawing figures, to twelve inches wide. While the hoses are made of standard rubber, they can also be plastic fabricated hoses. Alternatively the entire shroud around the blade could be made of one piece, and the saw blade casing, impeller vacuum housing, and blade chamber could be manufactured as a one piece, unitary manufactured unit.
As additional enhancements of this invention, lighting inside the blade chamber could be provided. Further, laser guides could be incorporated in this device while still keeping within the spirit and disclosure of this invention. (Obviously, laser guides would be much more effective with the removal of the dust and debris from the normal work site by the vacuum system.) In addition, a peep site could be built into the clear outer plate on the blade side to allow the workman a better view of the blade and its cutting path. The peep site would allow the workman to see the work closer to the actual blade-cutting surface and work piece.

The room was so roomy and had a beautiful fireplace and gorgeous view. They also allowed us to redeem our free wine voucher for our honeymoon with room service which was perfect for us after a long day of driving.
loud shower
Our room, brunch, access, and swimming pool were great.
The staff (primarily check in counter) was not friendly, and seemed like I was interrupting something important. Was in an elevator with other staff while they yelled into their phone about something with what they were doing. Really diminished the experience between these two things. The Broadmoor really makes you feel like a valued guest when you are there.
Atmosphere, friendly staff, clean rooms, private retreat feel.
Finee, well run hotel
Need to bring many $$$ for constant tips
Absolutely amazing experience. Gorgeous grounds. Friendly staff. Beautiful room. Super short walk to anything & everything. Hated to check out!!!
This place reminded me of a high end B&B. A historical landmark with modern amenities situated in the heart of downtown Manitou Springs. Very clean with a very nice buffet breakfast included. Definitely stay here again on out return to the area.
We spent a week there a couple mnths back and its wasnt too bad, sowe decided to stay a night and registured throu the a hotel site like last time. When we got there they demanded a CC deposit of $100 on top the amount we were offered just becuase this time we wanted to pay with cash, when our cc was still on file from last time. Crossland is a bad place, the service desk lady was the same black chick we had issues with last time. They have not done anything to change a i guess you egt what you pay for, cheap price for cheap service.
I did like the pool // hot tub
Terrible customer service & they ripped me off. Not as nice pictures are old.vm
The staff was very helpful.
Trash in the room when we checked in. Poor internet connection. Noisy dog in the next room.
Wifi was out first two days of my stay. Building run down DIRTY if I hadnt prepaid I would have checked out after first day. Staff was unaware of who even managed the place. Rooms were run down light bulbs out TV service was terrible. Mildew smell and very noisy due to tile halls. Maid service was late and rude "you have to get out of the room while i make it otherwise it wont get done" Dont waste your time or your money here!
Lobby, breakfast food and seating area
HVAC very loud. Walls, door, and windows let sound from outside and hallway into making room quite noisy. Doors slam too causing even more noise every time someone went in or out of a room. Back parking lot was snow/ice covered, very slippery--obviously not plowed after recent snow.
Good location. Good value for money.
The morning breakfast room gets trashed by a few inconsiderate families - breakfast cereal all over the place. Staff could do a better job tidying up the room throughout the time it is open. Also, the staff doesn't keep the coffee filled up. I had to ask for a refill twice - you would think the staff would fill up the dispensers in the breakfast room.
Room was spacious and very clean. Bed was very comfortable and they offer free hot breakfast. Clean, Quiet, and Comfortable
checking out
the cleanliness, lack of maid service, no resturuants near by, the hooka bar next door, the toilet backing up, me plumbing it, drunk guests, loud maids cleaning other rooms at 7am, lack of parking for guests, and as expensive as the good Elegante hotel....need i say more?
Everything was wonderful.The room was charming and so was the hotel itself in general.Folks in Colorado Springs have it good,the hotel has a beautiful views and really cozy beds,friendly staff and great food & drinks.Wonderful in every way.
We fell in love with the giant windows too.
Can't wait to go back.The parking situation is no big deal it's less than a block away and a dollar after 4pm then it's just a dollar or two extra if you leave after 9:00am.If you don't like that then you should pony up for valet it's very inexpensive if you campers it to places in the French Quarter or something like that.
Clean, attractive
Expensive with no real extras except WiFi. Parking was in a sketchy garage a block away for $1 or $18 valet. No coffee in the lobby and the coffee maker in our room was broken. No complimentary breakfast. For this price you can get a lot more elsewhere and in a safer location.
Waited 20 minutes for staff member to appear at the counter to find out resversation was cancel. Still charge for the whole room and did not refund.
Quiet location, clean rooms, recommended for the price.
Service from staff was great.
Facility needs a light reno or at least a more dedicated manager. The paint was peeling in the bathroom, caulking around the tub was discolored, the closet doors where heavy (think bulletproof) steel (why?), the lamp shades next to the bed where stained with countless dirty fingers (also missing a screw so the shade would just fall off if rattled to much) and the floors need to be shampoo'd. Look I understand this hotel's style is antique, but maintenance on old time-y looks goes a long way and whoever manages it for this particular hotel is dropping the ball.
Service was great, but the prices where not. With the cost of the night, valet and breakfast the total bill for a single night will run you $200. Just not worth it for the small unkept rooms and overpriced amenities that should, honestly today, be included.
I travel the the springs often and as much as I enjoy the ambiance and location of this hotel, I wont be wasting money here again.
The room we reserved and paid for was not ready when we got there and we didn't check in until about 4:30. Check in time was 3 pm, so they had plenty of time to get our room ready. They told us it would be another hour before the room would be ready. We had Valentines's dinner plans and needed to get ready so they offered us a different room and offered us a discount. The first room they put us in was literally right across from the elevator and was probably the smallest room I have ever seen. I went back down and they gave us a different room, further away from the elevator but not the corner room we paid for and front desk advised we would be compensated for the difference in rate. The next morning we went to go check out and asked for a receipt showing the difference in room rate and they had no knowledge of that happening and that they couldn't give us a receipt. They said because we booked through someone else instead of them, there was nothing they could do. They basically told us we were out of luck. I don't really care how I book the room, the service and expectation should be the same, especially from a four or five star hotel. We will never stay there again or recommend to anyone.
Breakfast was okay
Satalite TV non existant. DVD does not exist indoor pool 12 x 12 if that weight room 3 pieces of equipment , paid extra for mountain view got a tree. cold drinks lock up.
Room was comfortable and updated. Breakfast was good.
Could hear outside noise. A/C unit was noisy too. Lots of smoking taking place right outside of non-smoking facility.
Great location, nice open room.

All the hot shots are over in England at the moment, and I have to say that I'm chomping at the bit to get across the pond.

I'm definitely missing some skin on my legs, but it is well worth it to be sitting on all the amazing horses we have at the barn.

Modi hits back at Rahul over balloon jibe on Gujarat model, asks if he trusts Sonia
Hitting back at Rahul Gandhi for his "balloon jibe", Narendra Modi on Sunday said that the Congress vice president should focus on the nation rather than criticising Gujarat which was declared "number one" by his mother Sonia Gandhi.
"If you think Gujarat model is a balloon, I want to ask if you trust your mother? The Rajiv Gandhi Foundation whose chairperson is your mother, that foundation had declared Gujarat number one. Do you see a balloon in your mother's talk? Does your mother also release balloons?," Modi said addressing a rally here.
He said the people of Gujarat had rejected the Congress leaders' "balloon of lies" in the last three assembly elections in the state.
Tearing into the much touted Gujarat development model, Rahul Gandhi had recently called it a "new heavier balloon" filled with "gas" and said it will also burst like the BJP's 'India Shining' campaign in 2004 and 2009.
"They (BJP) had made a balloon of 'India Shining' in 2004 and 2009. The people of India deflated it twice. This time they have blown a new, heavier balloon, the Gujarat model balloon filled with gas which will burst again," Gandhi had said, taking on the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate.
Attacking Rahul for criticising Gujarat model, Modi today said that this Lok Sabha election was taking place to elect the Prime Minister and the government at the centre and not to form the government in Gujarat.
"Shehzade these days talks about Gujarat…Is this election to elect the Gujarat government? Will its CM be elected? The election is to elect the Prime Minister…to form government in Delhi. Therefore, shouldn't the discussion be of the country's government?," Modi said adding that Congress should explain what it did in their ten years of rule.
Retorting to the balloon jibe, Modi said, "You, your party and 18 chief ministers came to Gujarat in 2002. And had spoken lies of such balloon. And your balloon of lies was not accepted by the people of Gujarat."
"You had done the same thing in 2007 and in December 2012. But you could not make the people of Gujarat believe your lies. People were seeing development and that is why people have elected BJP," he said.
Without naming Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Modi said that it was she who had declared Gujarat number one.
The BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate invoked Atal Bihari Vajpayee's regime and said that more youths were given employment during his six year tenure than what Congress has done in ten years of their rule.
Portraying a picture of doom for the Congress in the Lok Sabha polls, Modi said, "in no state will the Congress tally reach double digit…in some states they will not be able to even open account."
Modi said he does not think those who looted the nation can escape. "I am seeing …continued »
