Beautiful, beautiful inlay, Dave, You really excel at any type project you set out to work on. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Fantastic work! I really enjoy seeing your projects. The Third Avenue sign doesn't appear to be your normal segmentation process, is it? There seems to be more dimension to it. All your projects are always great! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

It was really good hearing from you, Dick, and I am glad everything is working well. Excellent cuttings, as always! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

On a small piece like that you can also use high gloss paints rather than trying touse a finishing coat. If you aren't doing enough projects to make it cost effective to buy a couple pints of paint with polyurethane, then I would just spray LIGHTLY with spray polyurethane with two or more coats.

Beautiful project! Would you mind sharing that pattern, please? God Bless! Spirithorse spirithorse55 at hotmail dot com

I agree with Jerry that the review was extremely harsh from only one person's perspective My first saw was a 16" variable speed Harbor Freight but, not as the one pictured in this thread. I still have it and it still works fine but, I did up-grade to a Black and Decker saw and then a Craftsman. All three are still in working order and each of them have their good points and their bad points. I did some intricate Jeff Zaffino patterns with that cheap Harbor Freight saw and would defy anyone to tell me that the results weren't just as good as if I had cut it on any of the higher priced saws. The main down-sides of the Harbor Freight saw that I have are the table size and the blade clamps have to be changed with allen wrenches. I could weld knobs on the set Screws but, I don't feel it is worth my time. The blade clamps themselves are actually wonderful because they are cylindrical and the blade is always perfectly aligned when the blade is inserted! Just a hassle to use the allen wrenches for fret work. God Bless! Spirithorse

On some small patterns such as ornaments, I just tape the pattern to the wood with cellophane packing tape. I tape over the entire pattern since it is a small pattern which helps lubricate the blade while cutting and keeps the entire pattern tight to the wood. God Bless! Spirithorse

Hi, Monti, I'm glad you got the info you needed and you got your contact with Fred and Julie Byrne. The reason for this post is to commend you on going the extra mile to consider acknowledging the designers and not just using their pattern because you found it free somewhere else. Your honesty and integrity, at least from this example, are truly commendable. God Bless! Spirithorse

Thanks for the up-date, Dick, I'm glad you are getting settled in and hope it was all smooth sailing. I am also praying for you that the transition remains enjoyable with as little stress as possible. Can't wait to see you start sharing pics of your work with us. God Bless! Spirithorse
