Joe, I always release the tension on my blades, when I'm done using my saw daily. But, if I know that I'm not going to be using my saw for days, I even remove the blade from the blade holder. I see no reason to leave the saw or blade under pressure, when not in use.

You sure did a top notch job on cutting these out, I'm sure they will be a hit. They're so good looking, that maybe you'll win the gift of the year award.

I don't know if Steve Good did a video on cutting these, but, there's been a lot of other people who have made a video on cutting them. Check out you tube,
I was seriously looking into buying one, I didn't pick what brand I wanted or know if I was going to build one on my own. There was a lot of discussion on them over at the Sawmill Creek site, you might want to check them out.

I'm not 100% sure, but, I think this is one of Rick Grey's patterns. It was posted on the former Free4All site. I had the pattern at one time, but, I can't find it now and I'm sorry to have misplaced it.

Nicely done Bobby, could you please let me know where the patterns came from? And I would like to know how large they are, if you don't mind? Thanks.
