    I agree scrappile. Both cases they would have saved money with a percent.

    I use poplar all the time and do not have that problem. I use a piece of scrap wood behind to help,alleviate tear out and drill slowly.

    I like the new look so far. Can't wait to see the end product when you get your pictures uploaded.

    Thanks to all the great designers, for their generous nature. You are all appreciated.

    Your blade is going to want to drift. You need to compensate for this by feeding your wood at an angle. Go slow and watch ahead of your blade slightly and cut toward a point in front of the blade rather than following the line. Once you try what I'm trying to describe you will understand. Mainly it is practice, and prayer that the blade won't catch the grain of the wood and go sideways. If it does then it is finesse' sanding...LOL

    Gifts and sales. Made a few contributions too. Like project Rudolph and local charities.

    Nicely done.

    I noticed you said you place packing tape on the wood and then apply the pattern. I suggest applying the pattern to the wood and packing tape over the pattern. When you are done cutting a spray or paint on some mineral spirits and while you are cleaning up it will release the pattern. Usually about 5 minutes will do the trick. I hear others say they prefer to put down the blue or purple painters tape on the wood and then apply the pattern and then the clear packing tape. Why waste the blue (expensive) painters tape? I've been using ms for years to release the glue and have never had a problem.
