  1. Richard, there's no scroll saws being built in Canada any longer, there hasn't been for years. Len
  2. If it is an unnoticable repair, then I will sell it. But it has to be a repair, that looks like it should be there. Len
  3. I don't know for sure if it does any good or not, but I loosen the tension on my bandsaw and my scrollsaw. And I loosen the tension on any other piece of equipment I own, that the tension can be released on. I don't need a reminder that the tension is loosened, because I've been doing this since I was in middle school. It was what I was taught to do, so I still do it. Len
  4. Monti, that was a great idea, your bandsaw must be fairly large. It must have a large resaw capacity, those mascot cuttings aren't real small. I own a 14" Delta bandsaw, and I can only resaw a 6&1/2" piece of stock. Len
  5. Brad, I'm happy to read that there's been some improvement in your and Mary Ann's health. But as things aren't up to 100% yet, you both will still remain in my prayers. Take care, and the best of luck with getting better. Len
  6. Duke, both pieces look fantastic, you could even make leash holders out of them. Len
  7. Dave, as always, your inlay work impeccable. Len
  8. Lew, there is no excess glue to worry about, the glue is only on the back of the pattern pieces. When you remove the pattern, the glue gets removed automatically. There is no pattern glue that gets onto the wood, because you covered the wood with masking tape before you added the pattern. Len
  9. Why would it matter, they would have to change the batteries anyway. And there's to many factors, to be taken into consideration to get a correct answer. You would need to know the amount of power the clockworks requires to keep it running. And then there's the batteries, what type are the strongest or last longer then any others. I've had clock that ran over two years on a new Duracell battery, and I've had clocks that seems to need new batteries about every two months. So tell them you have no idea, tell them it all depends upon how old and weak the batteries they choose to use are. The best bet, would be to tell them about a year at the very least. Len
  10. Lew, I agree with a lot of what you stated, but not with all of it. You are about the only person I know of, that sprays the glue onto the block of taped up wood with glue before adding the pattern. That's backwards in my book, and it leads to a lot of mess. You would be forever getting the excess glue on your fingers, when you touched the block where there is no pattern applied. The best and proven way to glue your pattern to the wood, is to just apply glue to the back of the pattern. I usually use square or rectangular stock, and before adding glue any pattern I want to cut. I cut away the excess paper so that I know where to spray the glue, doing it this way I don't waste a bunch of glue by spraying it where it isn't needed. Len
  11. To funny. Len
  12. My avatar name is Lucky2, but I always sign any messages with my given name, Len. I would like for people to include where they're from in their avatar, it makes things more understandable, when you know where they live. Especially, if the person is talking about the weather, or some other happening in their area. Len
  13. Paul, both pieces look fantastic, very nicely done. Len
  14. Nicely done. Len
  15. That's to cool. Len
  16. Cute. Len
  17. Joey, these are very nice looking Chevy car cuttings, you did a fantastic job. I have to ask, are you still a Harvick fan now that he drives a ford? Len
  18. Wayne, beautiful bracelets. Len
  19. Dave, it is an amazing box, and as always, your inlay work is oh so perfectly done. Len
  20. Nicely done Chris, did you stack cut all six at one time ? And what does your title mean, there's six of them not two? Len
  21. Brian, I love it, and I really like how colorful it is. Len
  22. Ralph, those are very nice looking clocks, I like the green faced one best. Len
  23. Very nice cutting, and getting eight at a time is a real bonus, it lets you charge less per cutting. Len
  24. Very nice, and it's even of the best brand of vehicles ever built. Len
  25. Nicely done Brian, do you sell this type of cutting? I've never been able to sell any cuttings like this piece, I could sell lots with just animals like wolves and horses though. Len
