Fun Woodworking - Lady Bugs

[don in brooklin on]

At our club meeting last night, we had lots of really FINE Woodworking items at show and tell.

I introduced a new topic called FUN woodworking.

I showed my Lady Bugs.  Made from a cedar fence board.  The holes are basswood cut out with tapered plug cutters.

I also had more fence flowers that I will post the set later on.

Not Don, but fellow Canadian here.  I buy my blades from Garnet Hall @Sawbird.com.  He is also a fellow scroller and Canadian, out of SK.  Personally I don't use Bearwoods because of a couple poor customer service issues.  I have also found their shipping charges to be very high.

I agree with Barb, stay away from Bear Woods, another supplier is Lee Valley but Garnett is cheaper  and good service

Don here.  Like Barb and Pete I buy from Sawbird.  He is in Canada but does ship to USA.  

Before the $ tanked and all the tariff stuff, I used to buy from Mike's Workshop for my FD blades and Denny at

I usually buy in bulk as group buy our club so the price is better from Sawbird

[Fab4]

Totally agree with Barb, Pete and Don on blade orders
