    I have used the CA super glue finish on a few of my jewelry pieces. They hold up well to daily to use. I haven't tried it on a bigger project, I wouldn't like the smell associated with it. Sounds like an interesting thing to try.

    I was wondering about those hooks, I am moving again this summer and was thinking that they might be useful for some of the bigger things I want to hang.

    I use something like this picture from the internet to hang most of my big pieces. For the wall, find a stud or sturdy drywall anchor thing. Small pieces I use command strips.

    I like the way you did the layered frames with just a bit extra. It really gives them a finished pop without having to go with a full frame.

    Charley, thanks for posting this! One of the saws at my schools is doing the same thing. I just kept blowing it out but would rather fix it for good. Thanks!!

    I know! I really missed the site. I will join the echo of "thanks travis" for getting us all back online. I actually had to look up the type of fuse a dewalt saw takes instead of just asking you guys!

    I don't do inlay but here is what I use for tiny drill bits. I get this set from harbor freight https://www.harborfreight.com/high-speed-steel-micro-drill-bit-set-30-pc-61526.html In the store it is in a plastic clamshell package, often labeled wire drill bits. They are not the sharpest of bits, but let's be honest they get lost before they wear out.

    you are so great to do all of the work so we can enjoy the site.

    I made a bunch of felt badges for a school event and cut the pieces using the scroll saw. If you sandwich a bunch of felt between two pieces of thin plywood it will cut. If your shape is a simple rectangle, a razor or roller wheel will be faster.

    That is an impressive piece on many levels. If it was done with today's saws and pattern making it would be awesome, but to think it was done 132 years ago is truly impressive.

    I sign many of my posts with my name, but I think I just added a signature.

    Is it dusty? Perhaps blowing it out will help.

    I like the new look. One thing I am curious about. When I am not signed in, I click up in the right corner and sign in then it takes me to another sign in page before I am actually signed in.

    8x would be pretty small for all of the tools, but could make a nice little scrolling cave. A scroll saw, dust collection, radio, mini-fridge, dremel drill press.

    I have been really liking the pieces that I stain/paint lately. I think it is a nice fun pop.

    looks like a decent way to spend a few days! Enjoy

    Welcome!! I have done a couple of your patterns over the years. I am glad that you are back.

    Thanks for the reminder!! I just renewed mine! Such a bargain for all the awesomeness of this site.

    Michaels and Joann both sell 1'x2' sections of BB Ply in their "wood craft" or "modeling" sections. I compared prices a while back and they were comparable to Rockler's prices (plus often have coupons) something to keep an eye on if you have one close to you.

    If the project is just a wall hanging plaque the glue bond won't need to be super-duper strong (compared to something that will be touched and stressed or a structural joint) Still I don't think I would risk gluing straight to fibers and latex paint, although I might do a test piece like tuner suggested and play "Conan the destroyer" I would do like Lucky suggested and keep some little part of the backer clean. It wouldn't need to be a big piece for a backer, just a small spot that can get a real strong glue bond.

    Many people like to change patterns to be outlined in red or some other color to help see the blade.

    what a fabulous piece!!

    Can you explain how the rings go together? This is a beautiful piece, you did a fantastic job on it. The cutting is great and the finish is amazing.

    I have a trim router. It is a nice compromise between using the underpowered dremel and a full size router.
