Nice patterns and cuttings. I do like western and native american art work. Fran

Nice cutting and pattern. First time I have seen any patterns like this, what a nice change. Fran
-
I have never used a blade chart or a speed chart for that matter. My first saw was a single speed, so that settled the speed thing, and couldn't use small blades with it, so that settled the size of blade I could use. Now it is mostly a "try it and see" approach for me. For intarsia I use FD polar blades mostly no. 5 and 3. For intricate fretwork sr 1 or 3. I have sawn 3/4" wood with a no. 1 with no problems along as they are FD blades. Of course, everyone has their prefernce to which and what brand of blade to use. Fran

Congrats on the new saw, and wow all those blades. Now show us what you can do with it. Fran

Thanks for any compliments directed at me. All I can say is practice, practice, ditto, ditto Really though, you have a talent that I don't, that is pattern making, I have tried it and it just don't work for me. But I do love the patterns that you great pattern makers do. Fran

Well, I planned to make some gifts this year, if this darn heat will let up. But then I haven't really decided what to make and for who. Don't have that many people in my life, so will probably get er done when the weather cools off some. Fran

I know what you mean about putting out that kind of money. When I needed a new saw back in 05, I considered the DeWalt, but they were just being made in China and had a lot of manufacturing issues. I also had my eye on the Ex 21, at a much higher price. One thing I liked about the Ex was the tilting arm for angled cuts. Long story short, I had just retired, so sold some test equipment I had and bought the Ex-21. It is a great machine, I never used a DeWalt, but am not sorry of my purchase. It has made me love woodworking so much more. Fran

Great news indeed. Looks like you will be busy for a while Fran

Nice cuttings Grandpa. Fran

You did a great job on the pattern and the cutting. Fran

I love it, Clayton. Is this your pattern? I know Robert H. has some patterns of guns, as I ordered all of them. Have made the pistols, but not the rifles yet. Was going to make some for the "gun nuts" in the family and friends. I really like the shaping you did, I may have to call on you for some help. Guns are not as easy as they look. Fran

Congrats, Messman, I know you will make a good manager/moderator. Fran

Steve, now that is some great work.. Beautiful animal portraits. I have Neal's book and have intended to try my luck at making a couple of them, but something else keeps getting in the way. lol The animals look so real. Fran

Mike, I am so proud for you for getting the ribbons. Now this intarsia is something to really brag about. I have been to your website and wow, you do some fantastic work. Fran

Jeeze, Now that is a hard one. Probably be Judy Gale Roberts. No particular book, any of her intarsia books. Fran

Have to be my drill press. Fran
