flarud Posted January 7, 2019 Report Posted January 7, 2019 Cut this out today. Need to do a bit of sanding and put a finish on it. Second piece that I have made with my new Dewalt. The saw runs super smooth and is nice and quiet. The wood is 3/8" cedar. Started off using an Olson #2 reverse, cutting the trees had lots of ins and out, twists and turns so I thought that I would give the spiral #2 a try. I've only tried these blades twice and didn't care for them much either time. I put the spiral in and tried to give a chance,, just couldn't do it. Couldn't stay on the line and had 2 blades break within 10 minutes. Had the speed down about 1/2 and the tension on number 4 for those of you with the Dewalt. Put the Olson #2 reverse back in and just dealt with all of the ins and outs on the trees. Still need to make a second handle that goes on top of the first to give it some depth. Not sure what kind of finish I will use. Leaning towards just a clear enamel. Tomanydogs, amazingkevin, meflick and 3 others 6 Quote

The only sound I hear is wood being cut and the bellows. now that's quiet!!!! Quote
