I own a copy of that book, and I've cut a few of the items out. The one I like the best, is the one with the fisherman fly fishing on one side and a fish on the other. They were very popular with the salmon fishermen, I sold ten of them one season. I charged thirty -five dollars for each one, I often wondered if I was charging enough because they sold so quickly.

OK Randy, I'll ask, what is the finished size of this piece? Len
-
Nicely done Tabitha, the tree toads are really cute. Len
-
Ed, what's Foxit? Len
-
Have you actually cut this one out, or, is it just a picture of what you're about to cut? Len
-
It could be cherry, I have a lot of cherry veneer that looks just like it. Len

Dave, for a glue-up like this, I would use gel-type CA glue. It doesn't dry as fast as regular CA does, so you have a dew seconds to work with it. Just apply a small bead around the edge of the box, then set it in place with some weight on top of it. I've done this many times, and I've never had an issue with them. Len

Bruce, I've found that there are occasions when you just can't top feed. On those occasions, you just have to feed from the bottom. Len

Dave, the picture isn't showing up. Len

Hmmmm, I think you forgot something. Len

Paul, this pattern is available in a past issue of CWWC, I'm just not sure of which one it is. I like the look of it better with the glass ball, any that I have seen with a clock didn't look quite right. The issue with the clock ones, was that the clock insert is to small. Len

Del, there is no finish that I know of, that will or can stop wood from loosing it color/changing in appearance. You'll find that over time no matter what you use, the wood will eventually change color. You will get one of two effects, it will either darken in color or it will lose most of its color. Generally, if I want a piece of wood to remain a certain color, I will use a tint or dye close to the original color of the wood. Then to finish the project, I'll use an automotive clear coat finish. This clear coat finish doesn't yellow, and you can get a beautiful finish from using it. However, it won't stop the wood from discoloring, that's what I use the dye for. Len

Iggy, are you sure, I was told you couldn't take debit cards. Len

Exceptional work Dave, each piece is a masterpiece on it's own. Len

Personally, I sign all my comments and remarks with my actual name, you can see what I do at the end of this comment. Len

Dan, why wouldn't you just use the Wixey angle gauge to set your 90* setting? I have my gauge set to the side of my saw by the magnets on its side, there's a good flat surface there that is plum to the floor. Len

Ralph, if you check in with Roly (Phatom Scroller), he has a different HUGS pattern that I'm quite sure he'll share with you. They are very popular, I know a few scrollers that give them out free to customers and their kids. Len

All you have to do to solve this issue, is to use more glue on the pattern back. Doing this gives the glue a better grip, and it shouldn't make any difference in removing the pattern from the wood, especially, if you use the blue tape on the wood before you apply the pattern. I wouldn't do this if I wasn't using the blue tape, it would be just to difficult to remove the leftover paper from the piece. Len.

Jay, this is an amazingly good looking cutting, it's gotta be one of the nicest pieces I've seen in a long time. The frame work looks fantastic also, are the corner blocks burned. I can only imagine how pleased the recipient would be to own this, it's inspiring. Len

Jim, I'm sorry but I don't think that a 8'x8' building is large enough for what you want to use it for. That's a very small building, especially if you want to use tools in it. I think it's even to small for bench-top tools, or for tools on rollers. Where would you roll the tools to, the building would be just to small. Len

Hang in there Dick, you're in a tough spot. Len

Dick, have a great trip, just think of what you'll see to give you new pattern ideas. Enjoy the warmth of the sun, and the time you get to spend with family and friends. Len

Frank, do you know for sure that they will actually ship to the UK? You may need to find an American to buy it, then have them ship it to you? I have to do this, if I want to deal with a couple of popular sellers that don't ship to Canada. Len

It looks like it could be stained oak. Len

Puzzle blades have the back side of the blade rounded, just a bit, this is what makes them so easy to make the sharp turning cuts with. Len
