Waste not want not DW, or at least I think that's what the saying used to be. What a perfect way to use up scraps, thanks for sharing this with us. Len

Nice sign Gator, thanks for sharing it with us. Len
-
They look great DW, hopefully you'll have a successful show/sale. Len

Cool idea, plus they look really nice. I like to see things being used for what they weren't origionally intended, it shows that the person who made it has their thinking cap on. That's not rust I see on the top of your EX is it? Len

Very nice Frank, do you sell many things to tourists? Thanks for sharing these with us. Len

You da man Kevin, the cross looks terrific, thanks for sharing it with us. Len

Well done, they look great, thanks for sharing them with us. Len

When your ready to ready to set it up in it's permanent position, you should have something like a 2x4 or something like that under the back legs. Doing so elevates the saw so that it's much easier to see what your cutting, plus, I've found that doing this seems to make sawing easier on the arms and shoulders. Len

Bob, for my sanders I always leave them tensioned, I've got three belt sanders and a couple of handheld power sanders that use a narrow 1/2" belt plus my orbital sander converts to a belt sander and I've never had a problem with any of the belts. None of the belts have ever let go or separated, and there's no need to worry about the belts taking the shape of the rollers while sitting there. The moment you turn on the sander it will rotate the belt fast enough to let it work properly. If I were to release the tension on the sanders, I'd be forever forgetting to put the belt back under tension before hitting the on switch. The only power tool that I release the tension on after using it, is the Band saw, and I often forget to reapply the tension before using the saw. That is always a bit exciting to say the least, but luckily, I've never ruined any blades or did any damage to the saw.<br />Len

Thanks for the tip David, it might help me to decide if I want to cut a certain pattern or not.lolol Len

These puzzles are beautiful and a bit different Tim, are they actual puzzles, or are they to be hung on a wall for display? The Crown of Thorns looks fantastic, thanks for sharing these with us. Len

Hey Tdub4ever, do you think it was a wise move to accept the job of making these frames? Could it possibly lead to trouble for you girlfriend, in some way? I like Kadar2s idea, it would be the simplest way to make them, or you could get small hinges and attach them to the backer board so that it would be easy to open the back and get to the certifcates. It will be interesting to see what you come up with for a solution. Len

Impressive. Len

Jim, those are some fine looking pens, and you have a great set up there with back to back lathes. In the picture of you turning I see that you have an awfully large piece of wood just for a pen, why so big? Thanks for allowing us all have a look at these. Len

I'm not sure if there is or not Jerry, but Mike has a good memory. If you've already contacted him he will probably recall your posting, as he was the one who told you to contact him first. And as for the super duper blades, I think that you will be pleased with the Flying Dutchman Ultra Reverse blades and at how well they cut and long they last. Len

Tim, I checked out your cuttings and they all look great, you did a fantastic job from start to finish. And your girlfriend Angie, she's easy on the eyes also. It looks like you got a keeper, thanks for sharing your work with us all. Len

Jerry, you already have the best blades in my opinion, it's just that you don't possibly have the right type for what you want to cut. I have used the precision ground blades and didn't find that they were as good as the Flying Dutchman Ultra Reverse (FD-UR) were, or that they lasted nearly as long. If you get in touch with Mike he will get you set up with what you need for whatever your trying to cut, because there are a lot of different types of blades for a lot of different types of cutting. Good luck. Len

That's an amazing piece of work Clayton, thanks for sharing it with us all. Len
-
Chris, they all look fantastic, you sure have been busy. Len
-
That looks great Bobby, where are you going to use a cross that size? Len
-
That's quite the safe DW, what are the overall dimensions? Len
-
Thanks Crash, and the same to you and yours. Len

I agree with what medic_149 has stated, because like he says with a small router you can always expand your bit collection. Len

Joey, if you check along the top of this page just below the main title line there are three spots for advertisements. Well one of them is for Dales puzzles, and if you were to click on that advertisement it will more then likely lead you to what your looking for. I know that it is not Jims site, but I don't have his address, I hope that this helps you find a suitable pattern. Len

Kadar, that is a great looking coffee table, you did a masterful job on the cutting. Thanks for sharing it with us. Len
