You know you are going to have a good show when........

Scott, hopefully your luck will continue on into tomorrow. Len -
Karl, the answer to your question is, no you can't use this inflatable ball on your Dremel tool the shaft is to large. I own a couple of round ball sanders, that do a great job of finishing and sanding. I have never come acrossed any inflatable attachments, for the regular Dremel tool. Len

Nicely done Dan, they should be good sellers. Len

Jim, most electricians would answer any questions you have regarding this motor, that's who I would be asking. You must know an electrician or two, maybe even a electric motor repair shop. It usually doesn't cost anything to ask them a few questions, and you never know, they might have an answer for you. Len

Nicely done Jim, I really like the green backer. Len

Personally, I don't see all that much wrong with this picture, there's no more dust there then there would be from one good cutting session. Dust used to pile up on my bench like that, until I cut a hole where the dust was falling, so that it would fall through the hole into a container. If you check out the bottom of the pic, you will not see any dust on the floor. Len

Dick, have you got any pics of your expanded work space? Len

I use the Timberwolf brand also, they're great resaw blades. Len

Dan, I've owned my EX21 for over six years, and it gets used on a regular basis. Over all of these years I've never had an issue with my saw, and I've never had to replace any levers or knobs either. The only thing that I adjust is the set screws that go up against the blade in the blade holder. If it is the flip lever on the front of the saw that is the issue, I would think that you might have the tension adjuster that is on the back of the saw set to tight. When I first got my saw, I was guilty of doing that and the front tension lever would flip up every so often while cutting. It was very frustrating, but, eventually I figured it out and I starting using a little less tension from the rear clamp. Since then, I've had no issues with my saw. Len

I can't imagine cutting paper, it must be tricky to prevent it from tearing. Len

Perfect! Len

Wowsa DW, I really like the double bowls, the mug ain't to shabby either. Thanks for sharing these with us. Len

Nicely done John. Len

Helmut, do you do all of your cutting with a fretsaw like this one? Len
-
Very nice John, they're usually good sellers also. Len

Helmut, you have some amazing cutting and painting skills, all of these pieces look fantastic. I have only ever cut four of these types of things, they were made to be Christmas gifts. Everyone who has received one was pleased with their gift. Are any of these your patterns, if so, would you be interested in selling any of the patterns? I'm not brave enough to light a candle around mine, I usually use small sets of led lights to brighten them up. Keep up the amazing work, and thanks for sharing it with us. Len

In the area that I live, I would price this piece at $35.00 unframed. If it was for a friend, it would depend on if I stack cut it and had other copies left to sell. Then, I would charge them about $20.00, or whatever half price would be. But, never for free, unless it's a birthday or christmas gift. Personally, I like to discuss the price before any work is done. That way, they know upfront what it will cost them so then they don't complain. Len

Yes Helmut, I realize it's the top blades that rotate, they rotate from the updrafts from the candle heat. But, on the inside of the pyramid there's usually people or animal figures, and sometimes even a christmas scene. Or at least that's the way the others that I've seen built work like, and the ones I have a pattern for have interior decorations also. To see what I mean, you would have to check out Volker Arnolds patterns, they have the interior items that rotate with the top blades. Len
-
Beautiful piece Helmut, what is inside of it that turns when the candles are lit. Len
-
Nicely done. Len
-
Now that's different, and it looks fantastic. Len
-
I always remove all of the printed line also, sometimes it takes more than one pass with the blade. Len

Art, I used to critique a cutting when I saw something I didn't like, or, had a suggestion on improving the item. It caused more problems then it was worth, and I had people sending me mean messages telling me to keep my ideas to myself and asking, why I thought I knew it all. Now I hardly comment, other than to say nice work or good work, something along that line. People will tell you they want honest opinions, but, when you give honest opinions they're not appreciated. Especially, if your honest opinion is opposite to what others have posted. Like has been stated, if you want an honest and good critique it's best that you ask for one when posting the piece. At least then, the person who gives the negative/constructive posting shouldn't be looked down upon for giving the negative/constructive post, but, that's not what happens. Len

Brian, is Kevin correct, is there only one way for the pieces to be put in place? Nice bit of cutting by the way, thanks for sharing it with us. Len

Nicely done Ed. Len
