    Spiridos, it's a beautiful pulpit, but I don't really care for the clock being placed on it. Personally, I think the clock detracts from the scroll work. Len

    Troy, I guess you were busy, they all look fantastic. Len

    Nicely done Terry, it's definitely one to be proud of. Len

    Dick, the product I use to get an even stain job that is not blotchy, is called Min-Wax prestain. It's very similar, to applying a coating of thinned varnish to the wood. If I were you, I would do a test on a piece of scrap wood, to make sure the stain applies the way you want it to. I would hate for you to ruin such a project, by not doing a test piece first. Len

    Iggy, there's so many different family crests, that I don't think a person could figure out which ones to cut out. For something like this, I think you would almost need to take orders from customers. Maybe not, but that's the only way I would try selling them. If not done that way, you could end up stuck with unpopular ones. I would cut out my family crest for display, and then have a sign letting people know I could cut out their's for so much money. Len

    It's sad Kevin, but I think we've all been there, done that. It's most definitely a learning experience, one you don't ever want to forget. The new one looks great, I'm sure your customer will be pleased with the end results. Len

    Iggy, I'm sorry the Hawk didn't work out for you, but I'm not surprised to be reading this posting. It's taken longer then I imagined it would, but I never did think you were ever satisfied with the saw or how it performed. Len

    Kirk, who ever had concerns about parts for the EX? I never had any concerns, and I didn't know others did either? People were worried about getting parts from Ray at Seyco, but you could get what you needed elsewhere. Len

    Kirk, if you buy the EX21, you'll never regret the purchase. I've used different saws over the years, and the EX is the nicest saw I've ever used. They are long lasting, and they will cut pretty much anything. They are very reliable saws, and parts are easy to get if you ever need them. The one you have a chance to purchase is priced at a reasonable price, it's the one I would buy. Len

    Way to go Jes, that's a great solution. Len

    Looks nice Tyler, but I like the look of real wood better. I don't find that items made of this type of material, to be very good sellers. People just don't seem to accept it, they only wanted real wood projects. I had only made a few items to see if they would sell, I ended up giving them away to a neighbors kid for mowing my lawn. He was happy to get them, and I was happy to get rid of them. Len

    Kevin, I truly doubt that this one is a scam, and I don't know how it could be. As long as you get the money for the cost of materials up front, how can they scam you? All you would be out is your time, and you could sell the sign to someone else to cover the price of the time you spent on it. I always get the cost of materials covered, before I start the project. And I always wait to be paid, before the customer gets the project. It's very hard to get scammed when you do a deal like I do. I always get all the money owed in my hand, before the customer gets the project. I've never been scammed by doing things this way, I was before I started doing this. And I no longer take personal checks, it's just to easy to loose money doing that. With the Square and others on the go now, there's absolutely no reason you can't get the same as cash on the spot.

    Hello Bob, welcome to the Village, yes lowering the dot over the I so that it barely overlaps the top of the letter will work fine. Len

    Jes, this is a loaded question, there is so much that depends on you getting an answer that applies to you and your outcome. The major one, is how critical you are of your own cutting capabilities. And just a few of them are, your god given abilities would be #2. By that, I mean how well you take to the task of scroll sawing, and the issues that pertain to it. The accuracy at which you can follow a line with the blade, and the level of difficulty of the pattern. The quality of the saw you use, and the quality of the blades you use also. And as mentioned above, using the proper size of blade and material to cut. There are a whole bunch of other things that, will depend on the quality of your work and feeling like it is worthy of displaying it. Others will be able to add to what I've mentioned, as there is many differing ideas on what it takes to be proud/confident enough to show others you work. Len

    No Skip, I don't have any ideas or suggestions, on how to go about doing what you want to do. But I do want to wish you the best of luck with it, it is quite the daunting task to take on. Len

    Stevan, mount the foot control, so that you can operate it with your knee. Install a piece of wood on the chair or stand in a way, that it's comfortable to use your knee to operate it with. Doing his will cause you to have to learn to use your knee to keep the saw running, but that shouldn't take very long. Len

    Wayne, it's a cool cutting, I like these hidden faces types of cuttings real well. Len
