  1. I was given a 10 foot long x 12 inch wide x 3/4 inch thick badly cupped board that appeared to be weather worn pine after running it through my thicknesser it turned out to be white cedar. Now I have a board that is only 5/8 thick now but had gorgeous grain. I designed this and cut it at a 31° LSD ( Left Side Down ). The finish is shellac. The bowl is 11 inches long x 6 inches wide x 2 1/4 inches deep. DW
  2. Since the wood is going to be around 1 1/2 inches thick it will depend upon if you wish a smoother cut when done or not, however a #7 or #9 Reverse Tooth will give you a cleaner cut. DW
  3. Wanted to see how small I could easily make these. DW
  4. Excellent work on the Deer Clayton. Thanks for sharing it with us. DW
  5. Very nicely done Clayton. Thanks for sharing it with us. DW
  6. Nicely done! Thanks for sharing it with us. DW
  7. No reason why you can not. This type of box is real easy to make. To make one of the variations like the one I did is just a little attention to detail when cutting. Seriously there are no special skills needed. If you can cut a straight line you can make the box. All it takes is a bit of practice. DW
  8. This box was cut from white pine and black walnut. The finish is shellac. I notched the corners at 3/4 of an inch with the scrollsaw then glued in 3/4 square blocks of black walnut. It is 3 x 5" DW
  9. Looks like a fun set of projects. Thanks for sharing it with us. DW
  10. That skeleton hand looks like what you would get when you reach up to stop the ceiling fan blades from spinning. Looks great! Thanks for sharing it with us. DW
  11. Cody the trick here is to put a LIGHT tension on the blade and to let the blade do the cutting. I know, I know what else does the cutting? Seriously though with those light blades it takes a slow to medium speed, a lighter tension on the blade than normal and a very light touch when cutting it. Practice will make you find your sweet spot on speed, pressure and tension for cutting brass. One other thing will be that the metal will wear the heck out of your blades, especially on a faster speed. Here is one example of what I am talking about. I did this about 3 -4 years back and like you broke a ton of blades until I learned how to cut it successfully. DW

  20. if it's wood you can stick pins in unobtrusive spots and then hang them from the pins. Just a suggestion. DW
