Trivet

[Denny Knappen]

As I was cutting this trivet, the EX 21 broke down and I had to finish it on the old DeWalt 788.  It still works.  The pattern is by Sue Mey and found in CWWC August 2013.  I used 1/2" Hard Maple and FD UR #5 blades.  It is approximately 7 1/2" in diameter.  For the finish I used 50% BLO.  Comments welcome.

Nice trivet, well cut.  What part broke on your Ex?  Just curious if I need a spare part handy.

Looks good!

Paul, there is a connection between the top blade holder and the motor.  The screw cracked.  I am replacing the complete assembly per Ray's suggestion.

Delano, CWWC is short for the bankrupt magazine, 'Creative Woodworks and Crafts'.  I have copies going back to 2007.  BLO is also short for Boiled Linseed Oil.  I mix it 50% with Mineral Spirits.  Don't be sorry about asking good questions.

Nice job Denny!  My Ex 21 broke down for the first time last month (bottom blade holder) took a week to get part, had to go back to old Delta 15" single speed (say no more :curse: )

I replaced that on mine a while back, took me a little time, but not difficult.

Hope to put it together on Saturday.

Lol i have 7 dw788's for back up but they were abused before i got them some how .No scratches anywhere ,not even on the table.they all knock and i'm sure they need new bearings or regrease them and press two out.I just can't win.So i know the feeling when your ol stand by give it up for the ghost.Saturdays coming :) :) :)

[Denny Knappen]

The part do not show up yesterday.  Maybe today.

Denny - beautiful work.  Thanks for sharing.  Sorry your part didn't get there yesterday but as you say - maybe today. 

[Denny Knappen]

Thanks Melanie.  I would like to get some shop time in before we go on a short vacation.

Cute little trivet Denny, thanks for letting us know where the pattern came from. I have a complete collection of the CWWC magazine, it's a great pattern resource.
