J. Phil Thien's Projects

This crook not only copied your ideas but made a very lousy effort at making a decent product (according to the reviews that his "stolen" product gets.)
He should be ashamed of stealing other people's work and claim it his own. (someone did it to me once... lost a small fortune...).
Already emailed the office of patents & Bcc to you:
Here it is my best effort.

"I strongly urge you to reject this patent application.

The item in question is based on works previously developed and published by Phil Thien.

I personally have known the above to be true and have known and followed the work and efforts of Phil Thien for more than fifteen years.

Case in point; With the implied permission of Phil Thien, I have, based on his developments, made, -over fifteen years ago-, a dust collector that I'm still using and I resent that someone else is trying to cash-in on his effort and intellect.

I kindly request you to respect Phil Thien's efforts and hard work by declining the application for this patent.


If I can be of any further assistance, please fill free to contact me at;

Thank you.

I'll post pictures when it's done.

"Measure, and mark 1.25" from the outside edge up on each of the lines you just drew.
      - using a compass, or string, pencil, and nail, draw an arc from the center point, around the long way to each of the 1.125" in marks you just made."

Is it 1.25" ( = to one and one quarter of an inch)? OR:

1.125" ( = to one and one eight of an inch)?

Help please   ???

After a very long time thinking about it, I'm ready to cut this.

Thank you.
