HI gang, its been a couple years since I have posted. Kinda got side tracked with my other hobbies and work. Mainly work. Anyway, got the saw back out, the dust blown off and hopefully will be chugging out some work soon. Just wanted to drop a note and say hi and warn yall that I'm back lol. Have a great day.

Hi Travis. so far so good. the only problem I have is i cant connect with my mobile device anymore. I was using tapatalk. IT was fine before the switch, so just not sure if its not active yet, or of this software is not compatible. please let me know. thanks.

Yes i use spray on flat clear coat. Dont need gloss your just sealing it. Also omly a light coat. Dont spray it thick. After it dries spray your colors and seal when dry. Also dont forget the light sanding on the sealer before painting. If your sealer is smooth your paint will be too.
-
If the paint was rough when it dried it was to thick or you did not spray even coats. It should be smoth when it dries. Also seal your wood prior to painting unsealed wood when painted tends to let the grains become uneven. Just somthing to think about.

The only router bits for dremel (at least in my area) come in a pack of 6 for around 30.00 dollars. That with the price of the table will add up. For about the same amount you can get a router and table combo. I got mine last year at home depot for 99.00. It is a small table as well anf can be clamped to a work bench. I would look at all options before settling on the dremel route. At least that way as you expand you can get other bits for othet projects. Hope this helps some

I havn't posted in quite a while, but I am still making saw dust when time permits. I made this Christmas Bunny for a Christmas present for my mom. This is my third intarsia/segmentation piece I have made. Any critques are welcome. Thanks for looking. Medic

Very Nice DW, I just finished the same piece. I had to turn my around due to a chip out. Tell me, did your eyes go squirrly like mine did while cutting. I had to walk away numerous times and come back after my eyes adjusted. lol
-
Very Nice. I wouldn't mind doing a couple of those myself. THanks for sharing.

Finished this as a christmas present for my parents. The pattern is by Steve Good.

Thank you mike for posting the snoman intarsia pattern in the library. I have been looking for a simple snowman pattern. This fits the bill perfectly for me as I am new to intarsia/segmentation. Just wanted to say thanks for the pattern.

Kevin, I have a craftsman 16 inch variable speed from sears. I have had it for 3 years now and no porblems. The only thing that wore out was the rubber cushion thing under the tension knob. But it works great. Hope you get a better saw soon. If not let me know and I can ship ya some saw dust to play with. hehehehe . j/k

My favorite would be a 2/0 spiral. I use almost exclusivly spirals for eveything i cut. But i mostly cut portrait style projects. Each person will have there own cutting style and blage preference. the best advice on blades i could give someone is to get a variety pack and try them all out. This way you get first hand experience with how each blade responds to your cutting style. with this you will be able to decide which blades give you the best cut, detailing and so forth. Also, keep in mind wood plays a big part in how a blade cuts.

Besides my saw the most used tool in my shop is my dremel. I can drill starter holes, sand (with flap wheel attachment), use cut off wheels for scoring lines. to me it is the tool I would not give up. There are better tools that can get these jobs done, but for a beginer until you can afford the others, to me its the best tool to get one started. I still use mine even regularly even though i have all the other tools. Its great for that missed hole so you dont have to go back to the drill press...lol

Great job. How big are they, they would look good in the yard during the halloween season.

Very nice. That will look good on any table for halloween. -
Made this Halloween Desk Sitter for a friend. The pattern is by Steve Good. Was a good break from christmas projects.
-
Very nice job vector.
-
I use a 3 ring binder with sleeve inserts for patterns up to 8x10. I keep them sorted by theme, christmas, outdoors etc. For larger patterns, i have a stack on the shelf. Havnt found a way to store them via bnder yet.

I would love to see more patterns of trains. Most of the ones available are for steam locomotives. I would love to see some diesels, passenger trains, etc. Oh by the way, in case you havnt noticed, I'm also a train nut.

Vector, I love the blade holder design you have on the left side of your saw. I have my blades in a bass tackle type box and have to spin back and forth when I break a blade. I may try and incorporate something like that when i get my shop set up in the garage. Right now I just cut in a spare bedroom. That looks like a very inexpensive and great way to organize your blades.
